About this property

Stunning Little Harbourfront Bach - Great Views!!

This modern family bach is ideally positioned to take advantage of everything the historic Whangarei Heads area has to offer - swimming in the Harbour or Pacific Ocean; fishing from boat or shore; any number of wonderful walks and longer tramps right from the gate, and handy for local cafes and shops.

Set on over an acre of land, the family-friendly Bach offers plenty of parking for cars and boats; a huge deck to enjoy the sun and views; and space and privacy to really relax away from the stress of the modern lifestyle. Great outdoor shower for after a swim!

The main bedroom offers a double bed, the second has two bunks. Hot water is gas heated ; the kitchen includes a dishwasher, stove etc, or you can cook and entertain out on the deck with the gas barbeque. Freeview TV and a DVD collection are also available. Wifi.

The Pukeko Pad is ideal for a weekend away for a couple, or bring the kids for a great relaxing holiday at the beach for the family.

Please note - the Bach is small and only suitable for a couple or a couple with small children.
The Bach gets a bit cold in winter please make sure you bring enough bedding.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the bach and do the dishes before you leave, please leave it as you would expect to find it; Bring your own linen (Towels/Bedding etc) There is a washing machine, cleaning products, bin bags, vacuum etc for you to use. This helps us keep the costs down for you with no cleaning fees.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Nice to talk to Jeremy on the phone. Bach was small, the 2 showers were wonderful (one outside with hot water and one in). Views were wonderful, close to Ocean Beach which has got to be one of the best beaches you will fine. We had a wonderful time

A very basic facility in an idyllic location. Facilities including bedding were sparse and extra bedding is essential for cold months.

Hi Peter, Sorry about the bedding. We do stipulate people are to bring their own bedding, this is how we keep the costs for cleaning/laundry etc out of the nightly price. If you had let me know prior or during I would be more than happy to arrange something and we would love to have you back and could arrange this for you. Thanks for the feedback. Jeremy and Tatum.

Gorgeous, low maintenance bach perfect for a couple's get away. Short stroll to beach with crystal clear waters. The BEST hard-pressured shower for the end of day. Views are amazing and sun sets are gorgeous. Thanks so much!

A true kiwi style bach. The range of DVDs, board game’s & trampoline well used while travelling with a 10 year old :) A great view while relaxing on the deck … even when the weather didn’t play too nice.
