About this property

Peace and Tranquillity

Peace and Tranquillity is the perfect name for this calm retreat. Go out and about, exploring the Bay of Islands, and come back to a little piece of heaven every afternoon. Or spend whole days here, relaxing in the park-like gardens, rowing on the lake, or visiting the farm animals.

The holiday home is newly-built with modern comforts, but full of character and charm. All year round comfort is assured with log fire, heat pump and air-conditioning. There is plenty of space to park a boat and trailer, and easy access to public launching ramps around the bay.

We are centrally located to enjoy the wider Bay of Islands. Situated ten minutes north of Kerikeri, we are 35 minutes from Paihia and Russell to the South, and 35 minutes from Coopers Beach and Mangonui in the North. And there are many more interesting places to visit in between.

Following our move to New Zealand from the UK, we built a house for family and friends to visit so they could enjoy their own space and privacy. The initial rush is over, and we thought it would fun to welcome new visitors who could relax in our special holiday home.

EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED for your stay to ensure you have nothing to worry about. Free Wireless Broadband, A full SKY package, bedding, towels, cleaning and rubbish removal.

We welcome well- behaved dogs by prior arrangement at a charge of $15 per night.
We love having dogs come to stay, one or two, the more the merrier. Our own Boarder Collie Tui, is very people and dog friendly. The 12 acres of grounds are all fenced with an electric gate. There is a nice new conservatory so your dog can sleep inside safe and secure. We are happy to baby sit (only dogs, not children!) if you would like to go out for the day sailing or fishing in the bay of Islands, and can't take the dog.
Special conditions:

2 nights minimum stay.

Amazing property, lovely people
Steve and Dots place was a amazing place to get away. Nice and relaxing, clean and sophisticated. I think out of the family our dog had the best time playing with Charlie at every opportunity! Will certainly stay again. Thanks again

Simply The Best
6 peaceful nights spent here enjoying a beautiful home, stunning outlook and amazing hosts. I cannot find anything to say that doesn’t include heaps of adjectives. Dot and Steve were friendly and professional hosts knowing exactly when to interact. The accommodation was welcoming and cosy. The fire provided a warmth and ambiance, Charlie was a delight. Space, comfort, relaxation. Thank you both and hope we can return.
