The main bedroom also has the benefit of a small adjoining study, providing useful space for working from home, reading or additional storage.
Both bathrooms feature floor-to-ceiling tiling, while the kitchen enjoys an outlook towards the water.
Wrapping around three sides of the house is a covered verandah, creating sheltered outdoor space and an easy connection between the home and its bush setting. The front verandah can be used all year round with roll down blinds.

Landscaped Grounds & Native Bush Setting
The 812sqm section is landscaped and established, with a mix of planting including loquat and orange trees and pink guavas.
What really distinguishes the property, however, is its wider setting. Approximately 28 hectares of native bush reserve surrounds the property on three sides, providing a strong sense of privacy and connection with the natural environment.
And the coast is close. Around 200 metres from the property is access to a pathway leading towards Hidden Beach, while approximately 300 metres away you can connect with the Te Araroa Trail heading towards Russell.
Well Connected to Russell & Opua
Okiato provides a practical base on the Russell Peninsula. The nearby vehicle ferry connects Okiato with Opua, putting Opua Marina and the wider Bay of Islands within easy reach, while Russell township is approximately a 10-minute drive away.
It is a location that works equally well for permanent living or as a Bay of Islands base - close to the water, walking tracks, boating and Russell, while enjoying the quieter residential character of Okiato.
12 Deeming Road offers something straightforward: a character home, a generous, landscaped section, and an exceptional native bush setting in a highly appealing Bay of Islands location.
