- A modern cottage-style retreat in gorgeous, peaceful gardens - Great base for visiting the Bay of Islands and the rest of the Far North - Rural lakeside setting with your own rowing boat 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 & privacy. The initial rush is over, and we thought it would fun to welcome new visitors who could relax in our special holiday home.

We welcome well- behaved dogs by prior arrangement at a charge of $15 per night. Special conditions: Discount for stays over 7 days 2 nights minimum stay. Pets welcome with prior approval
