While this production may be slightly long it gives you a great look into The Guesthouse at Taiharuru Farms.
Explore the rocky cove below the house and perhaps try your luck at rockfishing where you'll most likely catch a nice Snapper for dinner!
Stunning location and a great house. 🤩🫶

Lovely article by Sue Halliwell on Whangarei Heads. 🤩 🌞 💙

The Whangārei Heads Peninsula is the ideal getaway for a Pacific island-like experience without having to travel far or pay a fortune.

It's almost Friday and I feel we deserve Pizza!

Both Parua Bay Tavern and Smith & Local Parua Bay serve a great pizza! Of course there's also Owhiwa Rd Pizza just to make it an even harder decision :)

Looking north across Ocean Beach at Whangarei Heads.
Proctors Beach is the second beach after Ocean Beach and it is equally as amazing. You'll need to climb the sand dune at the end to get onto this one!

Amazing views from wherever you are 🩵 😎 👣

After a quick weather system delivering lots of rain we came across this Australasian Bittern by the wetland most likely looking for easy food by the open water. The bird stood very still while i was there trying desperately to blend with the reeds!
Always a pleasure to see this endangered bird happily living in our area. 🩵🌾

We feel milestones and special occasions should be celebrated and the Glasshouse is one of those Villas that create the perfect framework for a special weekend away.
