The Oke Beach House
Overlooking the striking blue waters of Hauai Bay, this home offers grand, modern spaces, privacy and restrained, tasteful decor. Start the day watching the sun rise on the back deck, with long tables providing an ideal breakfast spot in the shadow of swaying trees. The home features an extensive bar seating area and plush living room, with a quiet beach, scenic walking trail and historic Russel town nearby.
Oke Beach House is a shining example of considered, sophisticated design, with the home’s flat roof, straight lines and panoramic position announcing it as one of the finest options in the Bay of Islands. Drink in views of verdant islands and passing sailboats in the distance, with the home’s large central area being a natural congregation spot for large groups. Softly furnished bedrooms and refreshing, walk-in showers are ideal after an active day around the locality, while the home’s barbecue can quickly serve up fresh seafood and hearty vegetables for a terrace feast.
Located in one of the North Island’s most picturesque areas, the home is just steps from the sandy beaches and tranquil water of both Hauai Bay and Oke Bay. The nearby Cape Brett Walkway is a fine option for an energising hike, and offering clear views of the rugged forests and geography of the bay area. A short drive past local bays and over rolling hills will bring guests to the quaint village of Russell, complete with historic settlements, island cruises through the bay, and a nearby range of top-tier dining options.

Architectural masterpiece home on a unique and stunning property. Incredible flow of the home, filled with natural light and open to the outdoors and stunning views. A lovely place to host family and special groups.
We loved our stay. It was the perfect place to accommodate our two young families. There was plenty to do in and around the house or a relatively short drive into town. We very quickly and easily unwound. The views were heavenly whatever direction you looked. Would definitely recommend.
The house is just amazing. The location & views are a dream come true. I would recommend to anyone and hope to stay again. Russell isn’t too far for a arvo at a cafe. We enjoyed going on bush walks down to the bays. The only thing I found odd is people walking past the back of the house to near by tracks. I didn’t realize it wasn’t private at the rear of the house looking down to oke bay.Besides that a perfect home to stay for any occasion.
The house is as amazing as it looks in the photos! The bay and beach are great for swimming and snorkeling and the house is spacious and well equipped. Athena and Joy were very easy to reach and super helpful and accommodating. 11/10!
Absolutely amazing property, stunning views, well kitted out, easy for large extended family get together. Would love stay there longer and will definitely plan to come back again.
surrounded by Scenic views over looking the star of it all Oke Bay you Beauty!! Indoor cosiness and Outdoor fireplace watching the rain ..Thank you for a timeless motion that will capture our stay for always

Incredible views with awesome facilities! Loved the outdoor fire lounge area.
Thanks so much for letting our group enjoy the bay of islands charm. Your place is set on an amazing ridge to view the surrounding area. Swimming was divine at the beautiful peaceful oke beach and bush walks out the door. We didn’t need to leave the place! An incredible place to stay.

Absolutely fabulous property with stunning views and everything you could want. Even though we went in winter the weather was still good and we had a lovely wood burning fire in the evenings. We all loved the property and will definitely return again despite the slightly remote location.

This place is AMAZING! Stunning house with location to match in the beautiful Far North. We had a group of close friends incl visitors from the UK so it was the perfect venue to spend quality time together. The children loved it also, there is so much space for everyone. Even though you are prepared for arrival (from photos on this site), there is a WOW moment for everyone and excitement for the guests as they arrived. Thank you Verdon & Family for sharing your slice of Paradise.

Next level accommodation, view and location
This property will blow your mind. From every room, to every view, to every detail. The grounds were immaculate, as well as the house. I would highly recommend this house to large groups or families wanting to come together but also have their own space.

The overall experience was very special.
The overall experience was very special. The house superb, the location stunning and we were blessed with the best NZ summer weather. With two decks at the front and back of the house, each overlooking a separate bay on either side, it is a very unique property. I found myself each night taking photographs of the magnificent sunsets. The living and outdoor areas are very spacious and incredibly well planned, and the kitchen very thoughtfully designed. An absolute gem, reality exceeds any photos!

This property is gorgeous!!! Each room is simply fantastic, we loved opening the big sliding doors, sitting on one of the two decks and just enjoy the sea view. What a beautiful peace of paradise. We had an amazing holiday, fishing, walks, relaxing and simply just enjoying each others company in a beautiful environment . Definitely recommend.
