Beautiful waterfront views + so handy to town

This beauty of a classic 30s Bach has bright, sunny, coastal views & plenty of character.
Recently renovated downstairs, kitchen areas and rooms also.

Grab a kayak, clamber down a few steps straight onto the beach across the road, then relax and unwind on the deck to watch the magic sunsets..

This cosy little home is has all the basics for a nice getaway plus newly renovated kitchen and big heatpump..

Take your pick of sea-breezes on open front deck, expansive views from lounge/dining, or quiet private rear garden area with retro picnic table.

Approx 5 minutes from Onerahi shops, 15mins from CBD and 20 minute drive to popular surf beach 'ocean beach' or 10-15 min drive to two of the top DOC day walks: Mt Manaia and Busby head.

The advertised price is for a couple and clean linen in one room with either a double or queen bed. Additional +$25 per additional booked guest to cover additional associated costs. Undisclosed guests $50/ea. Please enquire / check if needing multiple or large vehicle parking. Security Camera at the entrance FYI. Thank you.

Hard to get to
Out of the way. Difficult access. Tough check in - especially of you arrive at night. Beach far too rocky even for walking.

Very nice bach
We had a very nice time at the bach. All good, but the final bit of the driveway is a bit dodgy so if you have a sports car or similar you would struggle to get the car to the property.

A few surprises
The view was outstanding and the indoor/outdoor living flow was perfect for having a family Christmas. Upstairs has been nicely refurbished and is a great space. 2 Bedrooms and bathroom (separate toilet) are downstaits with a third bedroom upstairs. The downstairs is much more bachy in style: the real deal. Did feel the property needs a little more info on the profile as the driveway is very rough and not suitable for low cars ( take your 4x4!) And the stairs inside are quite steep and goes around a corner, it's challenging if you're not able bodied (or with young children) . We only received this info the day before travel which caused major stress with my elderly disabled Mum who was traveling with us. Overall, so many positives, but a little more info needed before booking.
