When we're not enjoying a sunset view from Arabella Hideaway, there are so many peaceful places around the Bay of Islands to catch the evening sun.

This photo was taken near Waitangi Boat Ramp, looking up the Waitangi River towards Haruru, where the evening light reflects beautifully on the water, and everything seems to slow down for a while.

Where's your favourite place in the Bay of Islands to watch the sunset?

Here's a great idea fo a Northland road trip. But don't rush it. Take a week so you can fully relax and enjoy all that our beautiful region has to offer. Begin with two nights at Arabella Hideaway to get started and enjoy the history, pristine beaches, and the laid back vibe of Te tai Tokerau. Where New Zealand began.

It's been a while since we shared some of the lovely comments our guests write in the visitor book.
We love to hear how much people enjoy staying in Arabella Hideaway and it's amusing to see our cats getting quite a few mentions too!

Taking in Saturday from the peaceful Cherry Bay in Opua.
Just the gentle water ripples, the glinting sun over the bay, and the sounds of an impatient dog wanting to play stick on the beach!
