There are unobstructed 180 degree views of beach, reserve and water from many parts of the house and deck.  Nestled between Tapeka Point and Flagstaff Hill, the property is sheltered from prevailing winds. North west facing, the house is sun drenched all day with spectacular sunsets  Below - super yachts, war ship and one of the many cruise ships that pass by en route to Russell during the summer months.

Vessels navigate close to the beach as they prepare to round Tapeka Point into the Bay of Islands. This provides an endless parade of changing scenery as boats of every description pass by. The warship on the left is HMNZS Canterbury passing Tapeka Del Mar as she left the Bay of Islands for the last time before returning to become a diving attraction in 2007.

Walk behind the property and up to the top of Tapeka Point for commanding views of the Bay of Islands and coast line or to Flagstaff Hill (between Tapeka and Russell) A few steps down the road from the drive is the Rocky Shore. This provides views of the Bay towards Roberton Island. Refer Beaches for pictures
