About this Holiday House

WINNER of Bronze in a NZ 'Best Bach Setting' awards this elevated absolute waterfront property enjoys spectacular sea views to the Poor Knight Islands and the Whananaki coastline from nearly every room in the house. Set on 5 acres, fringed by pohutukawas and native bush along the shoreline this unique property enjoys two private beaches and its own mooring in a sheltered, all weather sandy bay. Breakfast at the outside table with sea views to die for, recline on the deck and soak up the all day sun, play volleyball or cricket on the massive front lawn, wander along a loop track through native bush to the point - a special place to sit and contemplate above the ocean, check out on a side track what was once a small Maori pa, walk down our private track with steps to the beach to swim, fish off the point, snorkel or dive for crays, take our two kayaks for a paddle around the bay or along the coast or take your boat off the mooring and out for a day's fishing. The fish and cray in the photos were caught from the offshore reef just out from the beach. Winter fishing is best here. We are two and a half hrs from Auckland, a little over half an hr to Whangarei and only 5 minutes to a great surf beach, 2 minutes to a boat launching ramp in the Whananaki estuary or 3 minutes to the local general store (no fuel). Our dining table seats 10 to 12. Tiled ensuite plus separate upstairs and downstairs bathrooms, 2 fridges plus a stand alone chest freezer. Fish cleaning bench, bait freezer. There is heaps of parking and turning for boats, cars and trailers. We charge a bond of $500 to cover any loss/damage.

Deanna
Beautiful spot with stunning views. Bach is well equipped, everything you need! Loved the grass lawn for playing kicks with the kids. We caught a few snapper from casting off the beach too. Steve (host)was great to deal with.
Holly Blundell
Incredible spot for our 4 x families. Had everything we needed and more! Excellent communication, easy all round. Highly recommend.
Esther Graham
Stunning location and spacious home that accommodated our extended family group really well. Space for kids to play outside within view and minutes walk from a beach where we swam and snorkelled. Ideal lawn to play badminton, volleyball etc. Appreciated the wonderful hospitality of Steve who was flexible in our arrival and departure times so we could get the best of the weather.

Dogs by arrangement.


Blankets/duvets provided on all beds as part of the general rental. Electric blankets not on 4 bunk beds.

Rental starts at 2pm and ends at 10am to allow servicing between different parties. I don't mind groups starting earlier or finishing later in the day if the bach isn't being used by other groups that day (let me know if you want to do this).

I offer free cancellation if the weather looks bad . However, of the 12 groups I have offered this to over 15 years none have cancelled and 8/9 found the weather far better than forecast. A line of hills behind us funnels a lot of rain away so we are far drier than say Whangarei.


Cleaning fee is $200.00.
