    The property was clean, comfortable and easy to relax in. There were some nice walking tracks locally, and Russell was a very short drive away ( we also walked it a few times, but not generally at night). There were also laundry facilities (...

Kokomo Retreat is a North facing property looking directly out to the Bay of Islands. Walk through the gate at the back of the garden down a few steps and you are on the beach. It is not unusual to see dolphins and if you are lucky whales. Relax in the hot tub, listen to the waves and look at the stars. Go for a kayak paddle, these are here for your use or go fishing off the rocks directly in front of the property. The rooms are new and decorated to a top quality standard. We even supply a Nespresso coffee machine for your use. There are BBQ's for your use and outdoor tables, the atmosphere here is casual, relaxed and fun.
Dave & Anita love sharing our little piece of paradise with guests from both New Zealand and overseas - visitors are always blown away by the beauty and tranquility of this place. We're passionate about the history of the area and love sharing tips about dining and tourism options to our visitors if they ask. We look forward to meeting you!
We’re located at Tapeka Point at the entrance to the world famous Bay of Islands. Tapeka Point is approximately a 3 hour drive from Auckland and just two kilometers form the historic village of Russell. Before the Europeans settled in New Zealand the area was a Maori Pa (fortification) but these days we call it home and invite you to stay at our beautiful beachfront property. Tapeka boasts two beaches ideal for fishing, swimming and other water sports It has a boat ramp for launching boats. Watch passing Orca whales if you are lucky or swim with the wild Dolphins off the beach. Nearby is Kauri Cliffs, Waitangi, Kerikeri and other world class golf courses. Visit the famous “Hole in the Rock” at Cape Brett, a popular way to view the Islands of the Bay, take a day sail or sit back, relax and watch the endless parade of boats passing by. There’s also an abundance of great walking tracks in the area and it’s the perfect base from which to explore Northland.
