The fourth bedroom is a sleep out. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac and a few minutes walk to the beach or 5 minute drive to boat ramp and Tinopai wharf. Bring you kayak as the fishing is excellent 50m off the beach or explore the Kaipara harbour with you boat from the central location of Tinopai.
The space

The fishing is great just off the beach or bring your boat and explore the entire historic Kaipara harbour.

Guest access
All areas except locked shed under the house
Other things to note
Tinopai doesn't have a water reticulation system so we have a rain water tank so please be conservative with water. As our septic tank is a treatment system, please only use eco cleaning products which we provide. Also to keep our worm farm happy (treatment system) don't put citrus peelings etc down the sink incinerator. All other organic material is ok.
Somethings to note, last grocery and petrol stop is in Paparoa (30 mins from Tinopai) prior to reaching us however we suggest for better deals you shop at Wellsford, Kaiwaka or Maungaturoto (40 min) supermarkets. Dargaville is a 50 minute drive. A must visit is the excellent Kauri Museum at Matakohi (20min).
Plenty of rock oysters at low tide and also smallish sea cockles.

8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
The house is very lovely and comfortably slept 8 of us for our holiday. Host was very good with communication for any of our needs (quick replies ect) The location is nice, not much to do around but still fun for a weekend. Closest supermarket was about 40 minutes drive so we recommend fully stocking on food. We did have to go out and buy a few things such as toilet paper as not enough was provided, but there is a gas station about 20 minutes out so not too bad.We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend the place for a quiet getaway with friends or family.Thank you to the hosts :)
