About this property

Classic 50s seaside bach with tennis court

A classic, low‑key 1950s beach house with relaxed coastal charm. Compact but well equipped, it has everything you need for a comfortable, no‑fuss holiday. The real standout is the private tennis court, a rare and special feature, along with a spa pool on the deck (available in season).

Just a short walk to the sand dunes and a safe swimming beach with beautifully warm water in summer. Enjoy beach days, family tennis matches, collecting pipis at low tide, and relaxed BBQs on the deck.

In the cooler months, curl up indoors with the log burner keeping the house warm and cosy. An easy walk to local cafés (Hey Coastie, Long Beach), the legendary Olde Beach Bakery, and a well‑stocked Four Square. Close to Waikanae Golf Course.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$75.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great Space for Extra Family

We absolutely loved the property! Well situated near beach, plenty of space for my 3 kids 13/16/22 years. It would have been tight at my parents place for everyone so this worked out well! Tennis court was well utilized by all and a fun perk Would highly recommend and rent on future trips home

a place for rest and fun

What a wonderful place to recoup. We took long walks on the beach during the day and could hear the Tasman Sea at night. We rekindled an old love of tennis. The neighbors are delightful. We were also able to get around by bus and train, no need to rent a car. We will be in touch when we return to the area. Thanks Karen and Phillip

Outstanding!

Classic kiwiana bach with everything you need and more! So many great things about this bach! The tennis court (also great for pickleball and shots into the hoop), the spa pool (but only during the warmer summer months), great location, within walking distance to beach and local cafes, the fire (also nature's TV) a dart board, board games, dishwasher, feijoa trees! The list goes on ... Really homely, comfortable and relaxing... We didn't want to leave. Thanks for having us ☺️ Would definitely recommend, and love to stay again
