About this property

Big Comfy Bach. 200m wander to Beach. Wifi. Bring your friends & your dog.

The big comfy family bach on Ladies Mile, Manly, Whangaparaoa has large living spaces, large grounds and lots of beds.
This is not a luxury home. Pretty dated. But it is a much loved beach holiday bach.

200m, flat easy wander, from Manly Beach.

Set up for two families or just for yours.
And bring your family pet

Unlimited high speed Wifi

The site is two sections. 92 & 94 Ladies Mile. The house and pool on one site and the boatshed and large grounds on the other. So there is a lot of room. Over 1800m2

The pool is refreshing and great for a summer dip. Safe for the kids to play. The pool is not heated.

You could toast mashmallows over the fire pit for dessert.

The large kitchen has 1.5 oven, Dishwasher, Big Fridge/freezer.
The walk-in pantry has a second fridge.
The little coffee machine does a really good job or there are cafes nearby.

Endless hot water from the gas powered water heater

There is 2x hammocks and a bookshelf of paperbacks to help you relax.
Big Smart TV to cast your favourite streaming channels.

Gas BBQ with spare LPG bottle.

The house is heated with a large (closed door) fireplace. Firewood is in the carport.

Available for your special occasion or larger gathering - with prior approval

There is plenty of room for tents - with prior approval.
There is a large open boatshed, away from the house, as well as a double carport over the front door.

Please note that only the pool area is fully fenced. Not the whole boundary of the property.

One of the best beaches in the Auckland region.
Big Manly Beach is located halfway along the Peninsula on the north side. With a beautiful long sandy beach, children's play area, changing facilities, ski lane for boats and water sports. Two very large swimming zones marked with buoys. There is good vehicle access for launching boats from the beach and plenty of trailer parking. The beach is approximately one kilometre from end to end and is very sheltered from almost all winds.
No matter what the tide the beach is sandy all the to the water's edge with very little rocks or obstacles. At low tide you can also walk around the cliff edges to Tindalls Bay and beyond. There's a surf club and sailing school.
Big Manly is also the home of activity adventure companies Flying Forwards and Hauraki Adventures.

Wonderful long weekend stay
We had a great time at this beautiful bach. Spacious, clean, cozy and well stocked with all the essentials. The pool, indoor fire, and outdoor brazier were all highlights, as well as being so close to the beach. Heaps of games to keep us entertained too. Highly recommend!
