Conveniently situated on the road heading from the Matakana township to Leigh, this classic kiwi bach is perfect for family holiday accommodation, overseas guest accommodation, special occasions, weekday retreats and weekend getaways for up to 12 people. The beach is just a few steps over the road. Your friends and family can also book the bach right next door listed as 'Great Spot by the estuary in Whangateau'.

Located just one hour north of Auckland City, the bach has three bedrooms, one bathroom, separate toilet, laundry, open plan living/kitchen/dining and some great outdoor living areas including a front porch that spills out onto the front lawn and a back yard with a large new deck that backs onto an estuary. The estuary flows under a one lane bridge through to Whangateau Harbour across the road which can be accessed by kayak (There is two kayaks and a double kayak available for use in the garage! Amongst other things including a paddleboard, life jackets, barbeque etc.)

Kia ora, Our names are Anna and Ross Davis and we are originally from Auckland and have lived many years in Wellington. We are part of a large Māori, Pākehā and Moana Pacific families.

Why they chose this property

We bought the bach as we love sailing and mucking around on the water in small boats. We hope the kids love climbing one of the regions most beautiful pohutukawa trees, paddle boarding at high tide and even at low tide we love the long walks across the harbour. Bring old shoes or sandals.

What makes this property unique

Recently renovated, perfect private and shared spaces inside and out for enjoyment and hosting.
