Utterly Delightful

Oke Beach House is a stunning house in the most extraordinarily beautiful location. Everything about the house is generous - the views of the Bay of Islands, the spatial arrangement of the house, the quality and workmanship in its construction, and especially the owner’s (and house keeper’s) preparation - including a generous stack of firewood and kindling to keep the fire burning when the sun went down. We were a group of 8 friends from university days in Sydney and the house provided the perfect venue. We weren’t able to get a private chef in but the wonderful kitchen did encourage everyone to dig deep into their culinary repertoire! Our stay was in July but we had lovely sunny days (morning sun on one deck and afternoon on the other!) We also had some great walks and swims. (We did a small part of the famous Cape Brett Track that leaves virtually from the back door - and would love to come back one day and complete the walk.) Many thanks to our hosts for making their wonderful home available!”

Unbelievable views and stunning home!

Stunning luxury home with amazing views over Bay of Islands. The spacious kitchen and living areas are well equipped with modern appliances and thoughtful pantry extras....but we were blessed with hot sunny evenings and loved our meals from the Weber barbecue in the outdoor living area. There is a media room and lots of books and magazines for entertainment. Truly a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the environment. An extremely considerate and helpful host /owner. A perfect week, thank you so much.”

Oke Beach House

We would highly recommend 'Oke Beach House' to the THIRDHOME community. A beautiful home, set aloft, commanding the most mesmerising views to the west and east over the Bay of Islands. Absolutely enchanting. The facilities within the home are more than one could wish for with the kitchen being an entertainer's dream. The layout of bedrooms and bathrooms are very functional and inviting with beautiful views and for all levels of comfort. We partook of the owners' advice and used local chefs for private dining occassionally as the nearest town, Russell, is a 40 minute drive. All cafes and restaurants are located in Russell, so possibly not for folk who are looking for a stay with these amenities. We are a family of 6 ( 2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 children 8 & 10) who thoroughly enjoyed our week here loving the private 'Little Oke Beach' and surrounding walks with trips to Russell to enjoy water trips around the islands. We hope to return. Heather Fewings”
