About Cable Bay

Cable Bay is a small coastal settlement in Doubtless Bay in Northland, with a visitor economy centred on the beach and a compact local service offer. Cable Bay Stays advertises 12 self-contained beachfront apartments, while Cable Bay Store sells groceries, takeaway food and fishing supplies to residents and visitors.
