Shipwreck Bay beach house, surf and sunsets off the deck | House in Ahipara
2 Bedroom House in Ahipara
You're right in the bay, you can't get much closer than this. Quintessential Kiwi beach living on Shipwreck Bay (Te Kōhanga), with the surf off the front lawn. Two bedrooms, two decks with views straight down the bay, and a courtyard downstairs with its own barbecue, outdoor kitchen and outdoor bath.
THE HOUSE
The main bedroom has a king bed.
The second bedroom doubles as a lounge. Double doors close it off from the kitchen and dining area, so the kids can go to bed while you stay up. During the day, open the bifolds onto its own private deck, with the same views down the bay, and it becomes a second living space. There's a single bed in here, plus a daybed that sleeps a small child, so it's set up for two kids.
The kitchen and dining area open through bifolds onto the big, partly covered main deck looking straight down the bay. This is where everyone ends up: breakfast, lunch, sundowners, watching the surf.
The back door off the kitchen leads downstairs to a big courtyard: barbecue, covered seating, an outdoor kitchen bench and sink, the open fireplace, and an outdoor bathroom with the outdoor bath. It's a second place to cook and eat, and the spot to rinse off after the surf or soak under the stars.
Inside there's a full bathroom, a gas fire for the evenings, WiFi, a washing machine and everything you need for simple beach living. It's a beach place, not a hotel. Comfortable, clean, and set up for people who come here for the ocean. Off-street parking right by the door. Dogs welcome.
THE SURF
The beach is right off the front lawn. You're on it in under a minute without touching your car. If you don't have a board, I'm sure I can find one for you, and there are paddle boards here too. If you've never surfed, this is one of the best places in the country to learn: sand bottom, long gentle lefts, and I'm happy to get you started. If you have surfed, you already know what Shipwrecks is. Peaks, Mukies 1 and 2, Blue House and the Wreck, some of the longest left-hand point breaks in the world, right at the gateway of the property.
YOUR HOST
I've lived here for 20 years. I surf, paddle board, dive for crays and paua, and fish, and I know every spot on this coast. Want the best wave for your level, a feed, or a beach for the kids? Ask me. I'm around most days.
THE AREA
Four or five minutes puts you in Ahipara village: cafe, dairy, bottle shop, gas station, takeaways, horse trekking on the beach, quad bike and blokart hire, and a golf course. Fifteen minutes more and you're in Kaitaia for the supermarket, pharmacies and surf shops. Ninety Mile Beach starts right here at the bay, and Cape Reinga is an easy day trip. But honestly, most people who stay here don't leave the bay much.
