About this Holiday House

This amazing property has everything you need for a wonderful holiday. The position is stunning, right on the water's edge. Gaze at the beach under the boughs of the huge grandad pohutukawa. Sip wine at sunset under the palm tree. Launch your boat at the gateway to some of New Zealand's best fishing and dive sites. The beach is private and has two lagoons offering a safe playground for children with estuaries and rock pools. The house is appealing with good indoor/outdoor living. It is one of the original baches (beach houses), located in the prime position on the beach. It has grown into homely eclectic, somewhat quirky, property yet with the benefits of WiFi, a smart TV, and an expresso coffee machine! We offer a quintessential Kiwi bach experience in a slice of paradise rather than a hotel-style AirBnb type of accommodation. There are two roomy waterfront queen bedrooms (one with an old-style wooden cot). Leading from the conservatory there is a smaller charming captain's cabin with a built-in king and a fourth cosy bunkroom with two single bunk beds. A delightful little antique rustic caravan sits right on the waterfront which has a double bed suitable for either a younger couple or an older child and also a narrow child-size single. The large indoor conservatory area is great for the kids on wet days and includes a pool table. This space is also great for dumping beach gear and has a second indoor beach shower and toilet. This is our much-loved family bach, we live 30 mins away. We invite you to create your own magical holiday memories just as we have done.

A fabulous Bach for families! We all had a fabulous time in a superb setting. The coffee machine was a wonderful bonus. Hopefully we will all be back before too long.

Wonderful setting for a kiwi bach holiday. We were a group of 8 ranging from 7 to 79 years old, including teenagers, and the house and location had something for everyone . Travelling from the South Island meant we did not have the toys (boats, kayaks etc) but still managed surfcasting, swimming, rockpooling and walks. Heard the kiwibirds at night and lounged in the sun during the day. Great for day trips to Waitangi, Russel, Keri Keri and (long day) to sandsurf the giant dunes and see the lighthouse at Cape Reinga. The kitchen was fully equipped to produce a Christmas Dinner with all the trimmings. Cell reception and wifi are sketchy which for us added to the sense of 'getting away from it all' . Totally loved it all . Thank you
Response from Owner
Thanks Wendy, lovely to host you from the South Island and very pleased you had a wonderful holiday. Christmas at the bach is so special with the grandad pohutukawa in full bloom on the waterfront right next to the house. Thank you for looking after our special spot so nicely. Have a great 2022.

Fantastic bach, fantastic host and an amazing spot. Perfect for large families or friends together. Well equipped kitchen, great atrium area with pool table and dining table addition to the indoor main house dining area and outdoor dining on the deck. If you are after a clean and superb kiwi batch, you can’t go wrong here. Perfect at all weather conditions. We will definitely be back. We were 5 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 kids.
