Bay Breeze - Stephens Bay, Kaiteriteri Home
With wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling picture windows that reveal breathtaking views across Tapu Bay, we wouldn’t blame you for thinking you’d found paradise at this two-storey Kaiteriteri holiday home. Welcome to Bay Breeze!
Park your car and boat in the huge driveway, drop your bags, and relax! With two decks, a cosy living room, and even a games room complete with table tennis table, you’ll find no shortage of places to chill out on your summer holiday.
Open the doors and windows and let the sea breeze flow through as you make good use of the indoor-outdoor flow between the living spaces and the wrap around balcony. Or, if the weather calls for a day indoors, set the ideal temperature with the heat pump and get cosy with a book or board game, or pop on a DVD and snuggle up on the couch.
The house is great for children of all ages from toddlers to teenagers - there’s even a gate across the internal stairs to keep your little ones safe while older kids will love the games room and the varied outdoor options.
The view out of the bifold windows in the kitchen will have even the unlikeliest of family members lining up to help whip up a few sides to go with the BBQ dinner. Dine alfresco on the deck, or why not take your plate down to the table on the grass below for a good old fashioned picnic!
Four bedrooms here at Bay Breeze sleep up to 11 guests, and offer a full range of bedding configurations to cater for almost any group. A bathroom on each level provides the conveniences for your stay, and there are even a port-a-cot and baby bath available for the littlest family member.
Wake in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck as you check out the sea conditions and decide which of the available beach gear you’ll take out. With kayaks, boogie boards, and even a few beach chairs available, what you do for the day really is up to you!
Stephens Bay and Tapu Bay beaches are both under five minutes walk from Bay Breeze via the available walking tracks or the road. Enjoy Tapu Bay for swimming and canoeing at high tide, and exploring the caves and collecting cockles at low tide. Stephens Bay beach is a very safe family beach and there is a small lagoon and a creek to play in, and even make a dam. If you’ve brought the bikes along, why not check out the trails at the Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park just 500m from your home away from home. With an easy distance of 1.5km you are also not far from the Kaiteriteri town centre.
There’s plenty of space for the whole family, plus your boat and beach toys here at Bay Breeze, so what are you waiting for? Get packing! As sections of the deck bannister are below 1 metre high, all guests should take care in this area due to the risk of falls.All guests should take care when using the external stairs, as although there is a handrail on one side, there is no barrier on the other side to prevent falls.Please note that there are no barriers around the bank at the edge of the adjoining reserve, so all guests should take care in these areas.There are life-jackets available to use with the kayaks, but we do recommend that guests bring their own well-fitting life-jackets to ensure safety.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.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

Bay Breeze
Thus place was fabulous - perfect for our group of 7!I thought the pictures online of the view would not be the same when we got there but truly they were better! We swam every morning and night and sat out on the deck(s) appreciating the view. The teens loved the kayaks and had a blast with them - can totally recommend this wonderful house and there is heaps to do and great brewery options and places to eat in and around the area. Loved our holiday and wished we booked for longer!

Great family stay
We just a fabulous stay, lots of toys and games for the kids, and a great beach to explore, even with the tide right out and no water in sight. Location is perfect. Older home but it did the trick for us. The water pressure in the showers was very low. The child gate at the top of the stairs was broken which was a big issue for us with our youngest at 18 months. The beds were a bit older which was noticable by the morning. The dishwasher powder was low but was replaced quickly by the manager who came by to check if we needed anything.We would stay here again. .

Great family holiday
The house was perfectly suited for our group of 11, including 3 kids. The downstairs with bunks and second toilet made it easy to peel the kids off for bedtime without disrupting the adults. Great shared spaces including the deck. The view was absolutely stunning and the beach was great for the little ones, though the access a little tricky for some of the older adults in our group. Motueka and Kaiteriteri aren’t far so easy access to anything you need and also not too far to get to the entrance to the national park. Only one rubbish bag and not enough forks for 11 people but the rubbish issue was resolved quickly.

Lots of games etc
Nice big living area
Not enough dishwasher powder to last for our 5 days or any dish liquid.
Walking distance to Kaiteriteri township
