Perfect spot for a beach getaway in Cooks Beach

Great Bach with everything needed for a low key easy holiday. Nothing fancy, just a great Kiwiana Bach, in a beautiful location & plenty of space for all, including our dog as the section is fully fenced! Would definitely go back, great spot.

Getaway bliss

We stayed here while getting married Cooks Beach. The location is amazing and the place was nice and full of character, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the break from Wifi and fast pace life was great. The host was very friendly and helpful and having one of the few fully fenced sections was good with a young child to let loose.

Fantastic!

Bach is very classic kiwiana seaside. Location was amazing with a quick stroll across the road to a swim beach. A short walk to the shop and other amenities. The beds were super comfy and the second fridge

Rustic and Practical Family Bach

This property was a pleasure to stay at! Beautiful upstairs deck and living area to soak in the sun, and ample room for the whole family to retreat from the rain! The entrance to the bach downstairs had a wide and spacious entry room, with room to stack luggage, store strollers and wheelchairs, play games, and even set up the ping-pong table! As well as two large window seats that were big enough to have been an extra two beds, or the perfect place to nap in the sun. It's large yard and back lawn was well fenced, and perfect for pets. The beach was right across the road, which was lovely, and due to the sandbar the ocean was subdued and gentle, perfect for the kids! The owner was incredibly helpful and kind, providing comprehensive information on the bach and amenities, and also a wonderful collection of things to do in the area: helpful tips on where to get fuel, how much the ferry to Whitianga costs, and the best places to eat! And the sign-in and sign-out was completely hassle-free. Excellent service and stay, and I the whole family looks forward to another stay in the future!

Just how a bach should be!

We had a great time at this property. The deck has sea views and the beach is just across the road. It had everything we needed, lots of space inside and out and was fenced for the dog and toddler. Very helpful host. We will definitely book again!!!

True Kiwi Beach Bach

What an awesome bach! We were pleasantly surprised at how much room there was in terms of options for sleeping and just the layout of this quaint wee bach. Really good for two families - especially have the ample fridge/freezer space with two fridges/freezers plus another good sized separate chest freezer. Heaps of room on the section for our kids to run around on and so helpful having the clothes line plus separate undercover area under carport for hanging clothes to dry if it's raining etc. Really relaxing place to stay especially being right across from the beach... nice to hear the waves at night! Great host and communication - would be happy to come and stay here again. It would be helpful perhaps on the listing to have a few more photos - just of the downstairs area (good sized room that isn't shown on the listing, which has the 3 downstairs bedrooms off it, including a large window seat area). Photos of the front/back of property would also no doubt be helpful to see the space of the place. Awesome place!

This place felt like a home away from home. The perfect place for family to enjoy and relax!

Absolutely loved staying here. We would recommend to anyone wanting a clean place with a nostalgic feel from growing up with my grandparents and with the beach across the road it was perfect getaway place. Thanks Jeff for the great communication and giving us this space to relax.
