Tapeka Point is "The Gateway to the Bay of Islands" Just 2 minutes from historic Russell. Tapeka is a small community of mainly holiday homes, close to but isolated from the visitors to Russell and the bustle of tourists and backpackers in Paihia. As the road from Russell ends at the point, there is no passing traffic making it quiet, private, relaxing and safe for children.
There are unobstructed sea views with just a few steps directly to the beach with no roads or sand dunes between you and the sea. The view is never boring as the point is the main navigation lane into the Bay. A large deck and entertaining area provide the ultimate outside beach living experience.
Tapeka is less than 3 hours drive from Auckland or one hour 10 minutes by air to nearby Kerikeri. By road the fastest route is via the Opua car ferry. All roads to Russell and Tapeka are sealed. Services, bars, restaurants, shops and attractions are in Russell or catch the ferry to the tourist capital of the north, Paihia (10 minutes) if you want more action.
If you have a boat, Tapeka Point is right at the entrance to the Bay and the closest point to depart to the Black Rocks or Ninepin in one direction and Roberton Island leading to the other Islands and Cape Brett in the other. The beach has an all tide boat ramp, ski lane and swimming pontoon with a private mooring available in front of the house. This area is a renowned fishing location for both surf casting and boat fishing. There is even a fish filleting station with water, drain and light for the days catch.
Romantic and historic Russell is 2km away with many attractions, wharf, shops, bars and world class restaurants. No other New Zealand holiday destination offers so many options and facilities.
This is the perfect base to tour Northland, play golf, go game fishing, boating, get married or just relax with the family. Take some time to explore the rest of the web site and learn more about the region, attractions and this unique fully self contained luxury beach accommodation.
Swim with the dolphins or watch the whales at play in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. A great holiday spot all the year round. Why not take a break in New Zealand's Bay of Islands - an area rich in history and marine life. The 144 islands are a haven for holiday makers who enjoy sea activities and the beauty of the un crowded sub-tropical sandy beaches and native forests. It is also an area of considerable historical significance and is popular with craftspeople. It is the cradle of European civilisation in New Zealand and has fine examples of Maori culture for you to experience.
Wherever you are in the Bay of Islands, it’s impossible to escape the lure of the sea. There are almost endless opportunities for immersing yourself in the blue-green world of island and beach. Charter a yacht or launch. Dive or snorkel. Paddle a sea kayak in and out of the islands’ nooks and crannies. Swim with dolphins.
Many people come to the Bay of Islands with marlin in mind. Zane Grey, the great American western writer and big game fisherman, pitched a tent and caught his first marlin here in 1926. He made sure the world heard about it! Today enthusiasts come from all over the globe in pursuit of marlin, broad bills and game sharks. You can take part in keenly contested tournaments or hire a boat and fight your own private battles with the denizens of the deep. The scenery is nothing short of spectacular and can only be fully appreciated by cruising through the area.
The Maritime Park is a natural wonderland with an abundance of wildlife including marlin, whales, penguins, dolphins, gannets and many other species.
