Retirement or Investment in the Bay of Islands just doesn't get any better than this.

Tidy renovated ground floor flat (with the added option to purchase the adjacent unit for the rellies) . . . just a short stroll from a long sandy beach. This roomy two bedroom bach amounts to pretty much everything you could ask for in an affordable lock-up and leave, year round residence, or a generous little BookaBach investment. No need to beware of the fine print here . . . you buy it - you OWN it . . . for 52 weeks a year.

Leave your mower behind. The owner-run management group oversees the landscape maintenance at a sensible $12 per week, with no other hidden costs other than your annual rates. Sun-kissed living in the Winterless North just doesn't get any easier. . or more affordable. . than this.

Prices in Paihia have STILL not been horribly affected by the explosion of prices in Auckland and the North Shore. What can you buy two minutes from the beach there for $209,500?? Minutes to Russell, minutes to Opua and surrounded by sea, forest, and reserve . . . with only so much of little Paihia to go around, this may be your last best chance to claim your piece of paradise in the Bay of Islands.
