Your Strategic Basecamp: The Bay of Islands & Beyond
Northland (known locally as the "Winterless North") is massive, and location is everything. Because the Bay of Islands is a major tourist hot spot, it can often feel congested.
Casa Playa is perfectly positioned in peaceful Doubtless Bay as your strategic basecamp to explore the region's top sights without the crowds:
The Bay of Islands: Enjoy a scenic drive of less than an hour to explore the Bay of Islands, then retreat to the absolute peace and quiet of your private vacation home.
Cape Reinga & Sand Dunes: Staying with us in Cable Bay shaves hours off the drive to New Zealand's northernmost point compared to staying further south.
The Coastal Lifestyle: Enjoy a gentle 8-minute stroll down to the golden sands of Coopers Beach, or grab fresh fish and chips from the historic Mangonui Village just minutes down the road.
