This light and airy three-bedroom holiday home blends comfort with classic Kiwi charm. Step into an open-plan living area where large windows invite in the sunshine and sea breeze. The cosy lounge flows seamlessly to the dining area and a well-equipped kitchen, making it easy to prepare meals and spend quality time together. Enjoy indoor-outdoor living with a sun-drenched deck that looks out over the lush surroundings. Fire up the BBQ, dine alfresco, or simply unwind with a drink as you listen to the sounds of native birds and the ocean beyond. Paua Shell comfortably sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms, making it perfect for families or couples travelling together. A full bathroom and laundry facilities provide added convenience, while a heat pump ensures year-round comfort. Just a 5-minute stroll takes you to the safe swimming beach of Coopers Bay, while nearby Mangonui Village offers boutique shopping, cafés, and the famous Mangonui Fish Shop. You’re also perfectly positioned to explore the wider Far North region — whether it's a day trip to Cape Reinga, a dip in the Karikari Peninsula’s crystal-clear waters, or a bush walk through native forest trails. Whether you're here for sun-soaked summer days or a quiet winter retreat, Paua Shell is your peaceful base to enjoy everything this beautiful part of Northland has to offer. Soak up the serenity at Paua Shell – your slice of coastal paradise awaits. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

These seaside settlements of Coopers Beach, Cable Bay and Taipa overlook some truly spectacular coastline. For those who enjoy diving, Coopers Beach offers some great shore diving spots. Many of the baches and holiday homes have been in the same family for generations, and this coastline is only just now beginning to feel the touches of residential development. The Taipa Bay Resort offers a family friendly dining experience that rivals many world-class restaurants.
