Booking Sails Villa

  Doesn't get better than this. Perfect location for exploring the Bay of Islands. Clean and comfortable, private and peaceful, amazing beds and views to die for. Our host, Gail, is... read more friendly and helpful. Every holiday experience should be this good.

  We stayed at Sails Villa for 2 weeks, had two lots of friends to stay and what a joy it all was. It was money so well spent ... read more Views were amazing day and night. Stars at night, sea glistening with loads of sailing boats bobbing up and down, ferries transporting cars to Rusell and the occasional helicopter landing on its lovely cruiser. The villa was fully equipped, so we cooked and stayed in, we barbecued and we just did nothing. Gail was so kind and it was like meeting a friend. Not the cheapest but in every aspect the best.

  We stayed in the villas on our recent holiday to NZ and they are lovely. Very clean with all the amenities you need. The balcony and views over the water... read more & marina are nothing short of breathtaking. Our favourite spot after a day exploring the bay.
A welcome bottle of wine most appreciated.
Highly recommend dinner at the local Opua Yacht Club, very nice meal with a beautiful outlook.
Paihia is only a 5 minute drive. Oxley’s pub is a great spot to dine. A must visit is a quirky little eatery in a side lane called Third World Vending, great coffee, beautiful freshly made food, the vanilla slice is to die for. Run by a lovely friendly couple. Omata Estate Vineyard & Kitchen is also highly recommended, their grazing plate is amazing & delicious wood fired pizza. Take the ferry across to Russell it is a beautiful little town worth a visit.
We had the most memorable stay at The Bridge Deck - Crows Nest Villa in the beautiful Bay Of Islands.
