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.

The Bach exceeded our expectations. So well equipped and everything is thought through for having a good time. Really nice to have good quality mattress, too. We had a fabulous weekend. Thank you
Great location with short walk to beach, very comfortable living for 4 adults and two children and if you like tennis its a dream with a hot tub to wind down
Spent the days at the beach and playing tennis. Such a great time, We really enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay.
We really enjoyed staying here. The Bach had everything we needed. We played tennis, went for beach walks and enjoyed the fire and the hot tub. We came home totally relaxed. We will definitely be coming back again, and soon.
Very clean and just perfect for 3 ladies on our yearly girls weekend. Clear instructions from the hosts about the property at check in and out. Would recommend.
This is the second time we’ve stayed here and it doesn’t disappoint. Super relaxing, amazing tennis court, cosy fire, lots of board games for the kids, and short stroll to the beach. Love it!
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

Thanks Sara, pleased it worked out so well for your family. Look forward to seeing you next time you’re back in NZ.
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
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
We throughly enjoyed our weekend, even though the weather was variable we played tennis in between showers & stoked the log burner for a relaxing day of indoor games & plenty of food.. Thanks so much Karen for the opportunity, much appreciated.. 😊
What a cozy amazing peaceful restful place... the fire place and tennis court is a sweet sweet bonus and makes it even more family friendly and bonding. Great hosts .. accommoding looking after your requests
A well appointed kiwi bach. The tennis court 'backyard' is perfect for entertaining the kids and everything was clean and comfortable when we arrived. Thank you!
Fantastic location, thoroughly enjoyed the tennis court. The lack of TV and limited wifi was a welcome change. We enjoyed our weekend away bonding as a family the old fashioned way.
We loved our stay - the tennis court was very well used - although we did lose a few balls in the course of our matches! Location was just right for us and we will definitely be back!
