Eagles Rest: Unwind, Relax with Nature & Breathtaking Ocean and Mountain Views | House in Taiharuru
1 Bedroom House in Taiharuru
"Eagles Rest" sits Majestically 200m above sea level overlooking the South Pacific Ocean to the Hen & Chicks, and taking in all four of the Whangarei Heads/Mountains. Located on Kauri Mountain and looking down to Ocean Beach, Whangarei Heads (Mt Manaia, Mt Lion and others), surrounded by several Hectares of native Manuka bush.
Close to a recent 'Grand Design' (television series) property.
6 minutes drive to Parua Bay village, providing all likely holidayers' amenities including restaurant, takeaways, cafes, 4-square, service station, hairdressers, gym and other services, yet peaceful and pristeen and 'away from it all' so you can switch off and just soak in the ambience of the location - and listen out for the kiwis calling each other in the evening. Disconnect and decompress!
The house is a large single-bedroomed home with a spacious lounge and glass-banistered verandah allowing you to look down on the vista from every window. A large sheltered downstairs area has chairs and hammocks for relaxing in the shade.
Appliances include a modern gas stove, fully kitted out kitchen, and other essentials for a healthy, peaceful stay. The house comprises a modern bathroom, fully furnished bedroom, lounge and kitchen, and the grounds open up to 18 acres of Manuka bush with paths carved in to allow you to travel to a new world of flora and fauna.
7 minutes' drive will take you around the mountain and down to the exquisite Ocean Beach that you've been gazing at from the house - part of which has its own reef-enclosed lagoon - perfect for swimming, body-boarding or sun bathing.
Several other beautiful beaches/bays are 10-12 minutes drive away - such as Pataua, Taiharuru, McGreogors Bay to name a few; hiking tracks abound (such as the famous Te Whara track to the top of Mt Manaia - a 45min hike from the DoC/Club carpark) and crystal clear waters everywhere that offer endless entertainment and relaxation to the activity of your choice.
Views as you drive up towards Eagles Rest will take your breath away - and the driver will need to keep their eyes on the road as kiwis are regularly seen frolicking in the bush around Kauri mountain, thanks to the efforts of local trappers and environmentalists who have transformed the entire area into a protected breeding area for kiwi and other native birds. We have deliberately not provided wifi so as to allow a disconnection from the hustle and bustle.
Eagles Rest is truly a special place - and if you're in need of a relaxing break, this is the place for you.
