Breathtaking Bay Views | Walk to Coopers Beach
Escape to Casa Playa de Los Osos (The Beach House of the Bears)
From the moment you slide open the glass doors, the stress of the city dissolves. Shake up an espresso martini at your dedicated cocktail station, step onto the warm timber deck, and watch the sun set over the panoramic sweep of Doubtless Bay.
You haven’t just booked a rental; you’ve arrived at a classic Kiwi holiday home that blends relaxed coastal charm with the modern perks you actually need.
Hosted by "The Bears" Welcome to our personal sanctuary. As your hosts, Paul & Darryl (aka "The Bears"), we designed this home as our escape from Auckland life. It’s not a sterile hotel; it’s a home filled with art, character, and the things we love: good coffee, spectacular views, and total relaxation.
Why Guests Love Staying Here
The Ultimate "Work-from-Paradise" Setup Need to check in with the office? We’ve installed uncapped 1GB Fibre Internet—blazing fast and reliable for Zoom or Teams. With the ocean sparkling in the background, it’s the best office view you’ll ever have. Perfect for locums working at Kaitaia Hospital or remote professionals.
Relaxation Ready
The View: Uninterrupted vistas of Coopers Beach and the bay from the lounge, kitchen, and master bedroom.
The Sleep: Drift off in the Master Bedroom with its opulent King bed and direct deck access.
The Touches: We provide Huia Skin Care amenities (by HealthPak). Not only are they luxurious and earth-friendly, but 5% of their purchase price is donated to the NZ Forest & Bird Society, so you can feel good while you unwind.
A Classic Kiwi Kitchen While the kitchen retains its classic holiday home vibe, we’ve packed it with modern joy. You’ll find an espresso machine for your morning brew and a fully equipped cocktail station for your evening sundowner.
Location: The Best of the Far North
You are ideally positioned to explore:
Walk to the Beach: A gentle 8-10 minute stroll takes you to the golden sands of Coopers Beach.
Your "Crowd-Free" Hub: We are the perfect base for exploring the North. Enjoy a scenic 60-minute drive to the Bay of Islands for a day trip, then retreat to the peace and quiet of Cable Bay, far from the tourist crowds.
Local Conveniences: The supermarket, butcher, liquor store, and cafes are just down the hill.
