About this property

Kiwi Bach with Panoramic Sea and Harbour View

Enjoy the fantastic Sea, Harbour and Sandspit views of Magical Mangawhai Heads including including Little Barrier, Great Barrier, the Mokohinau Islands and Leigh Peninsula.
Step back in time and enjoy the 70's bach which had a large new deck built in 2011. It is located 10mins walk from the Surf beach and Picnic Bay and 4 mins walk to the camping ground. It is under 5 mins drive to the shops, café and golf course. The family bach is generally more suitable for children who are over 5 years old because the toilet, bathroom and one bedroom are located down the uncovered external stairs. (We suggest holding onto the handrail especially when the steps are wet).

The bach is designed for a quiet, peaceful and relaxing break.

Special conditions:
Please bring your own linen (sheets, pillowcases and towels)

Some linen is available if necessary, but guests are expected to wash and dry it before departure, however if you do require linen, and for us to wash it for you, this could be arranged but you will need to ask when placing your booking, and there will be an extra charge for this.

There is no WI-FI, however you can use your own data when wanting to connect to the Internet.

Due to the nature of the drive and contour of the land our place is not suitable for a boat on a trailer.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave and bring your own linen (towels/sheets/pillowcases).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

All very well organised and as advertised-beautiful view and great location-but it is a very old and original bach with essentially an outdoor bathroom - but good value for the area. Perfectly clean and tidy but very old and original condition!
