About this property

Iconic Kiwi Bach, magical Sea and Bush views

Welcome to Pen Bryn, the "house on the hill" over looking the majestic Whangarei Harbour.
If you seek a real traditional Kiwi Bach, minutes walk to beach, uninterrupted views and all day sun, this is for you.
Fully self contained, this slice of history oozes holiday and is available all year round.
Situated in sheltered Urquhart's Bay on the Whangarei Heads peninsula, 35 minutes from Whangarei CBD.
Only 3km from Ocean Beach, famous for it's clean white sand, surf and sun. Beach patrolled during Summer months.
The surrounding hills and native bush reserves offer fantastic walking tracks, taking you to some world class views and serene beaches. Whatever your fitness level there's something for everyone.
The Whangarei Harbour is a large aquatic playground, perfect for fishing, diving, swimming, boating and more extreme water sports. It is also the gateway to the outer Islands and an endless coastline.
Boats can be launched from most beaches and most tides.
Close by, there is a tennis court, affiliated Mania club, cafe and takeaway.
At Parua Bay is a fuel station with gas and dive fills, a small shopping complex, medical center and salon, tavern, boat club, and golf course.

NOTE: There is limited off street parking for multiple vehicles/large boats during Xmas, just chat with the neighbours and they will ensure there is easy access for you.

Great Kiwi Bach
Great Kiwi Bach. Second time we have stayed at this property. Very clean. Everything one could need and the location has the best views of the bay and easy access to walking tracks. Love this Bach and am so grateful to the owners that they allow us to enjoy their little piece of paradise.
