About this property

Aotea Harbour bach, stunning views of the harbour

Aotea Harbour is on the West Coast, South of Raglan and a fifteen minutes drive to Kawhia and Hotwater beach (Te Puia Springs), just over an hour from Hamilton. The bach is located in Aotea Village right on the waterfront only 20 metres to the water with stunning panoramic views of the harbour and across the water are spectacular sand dunes and reserve. An ideal place for a lovely quiet getaway where you can go for long walks along the beach out to the heads, or trek further along Ocean Beach and dig your own hot pool in the sand at low tide. Bring your boat and explore the harbour or fish to your hearts content or set a flounder net. Horse treks are available locally. Great winter retreat or summer family beach holiday, with safe swimming or have a go at catching a kingfish from the beach. This three bedroom bach has most modern facilities and appliances.

Special conditions:
No Pets allowed

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels); take your own rubbish when you leave Thanks

Loved staying in this beautiful home, it has everything you could every need. The house is so peaceful and being able to walk across the road to the water is wonderful. Amazing views from the delightful deck, lovely being able to sit with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down over the water! Thank you Ginni and Alan, we will be back again!
