Escape to Casa Playa de Los Osos (The Beach House of the Bears)

Welcome to your private sanctuary. When you book Casa Playa de Los Osos, you get exclusive use of this entire 3-bedroom holiday home, complete with panoramic ocean views, a full family bathroom, and a convenient extra toilet.

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 expansive timber deck, and watch the sun set over the sweeping coastline of Doubtless Bay.

You haven’t just booked a vacation rental; you’ve arrived at a classic Kiwi holiday home that perfectly blends relaxed coastal charm with the modern, premium perks you actually need.

Hosted by "The Bears"

Welcome to our personal haven. As your hosts, Paul & Darryl (aka "The Bears"), we designed this home as our ultimate escape from Auckland life. It’s not a sterile hotel; it’s a home filled with art, character, and the things we love most: excellent 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 highly reliable for Zoom or Teams. Unique to Casa Playa, we offer two separate dedicated workstations (one in a quiet study nook, one in the private single bedroom). Both feature high-resolution external monitors and inspiring views of the bay. You can both take calls simultaneously in your own space while looking out over the water. It is the perfect remote work base for co-working couples, professionals, or locums working at Kaitaia Hospital.

Relaxation Ready: Enjoy uninterrupted vistas of Coopers Beach and the bay from the lounge, kitchen, and Master Bedroom. Drift off in the Master Suite featuring an opulent King bed and direct deck access.

Premium Touches: We proudly 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.

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, high-quality cookware, and a fully equipped cocktail station for your evening sundowner.
