About this property

Private bliss - the perfect beach getaway

This beautiful little one-bedroom bach has been completely renovated and boasts excellent indoor/outdoor flow to decks on both the west and east sides. Open up the bifold doors from your bedroom and watch the sunrise over native plantings as you sip coffee in bed. After a day at the beach, enjoy a BBQ on the west deck as you watch the sunset. Or, relax in an outdoor bath under the stars.

Inside, the bach contains a fully equipped kitchen, separate toilet and a shower with foot physiology pebbled shower floor. Modern new appliances (fridge, dishwasher and washing machine) all purchased in last 24 months.

This bach is set on a 15-acre property, with ~5 acres of groomed lawn, a (young) orchard and a herb garden (seasonal) on site.

The bach is about 800m off Tokerau Beach (driving access only).

There is plenty of space for parking vehicles/boats and plenty of fresh (bore) water.

The nearest 'major' shopping centre for amenities is Kaitaia, about 25 minute drive. There is a convenience store with all the basics, petrol and a liquor store on the Peninsula. Carrington Estate and Winery/golf course is a short drive away as well and is a beautiful location to spend an afternoon with a bottle of wine.

The bach has only one bedroom with a queen bed but we can accommodate families with young kids sleeping on the sofas or on squabs (mattresses) on the lounge floor. (Please enquire.) We allow pets (one) and a small fee is charged to help with extra cleaning. (Carpets and furniture get more frequent shampooing). The property is large with plenty of space for your four legged friend to run but it isn't fenced/ secure.

The bach is conveniently located for a day trip to Cape Reinga or over to the West Coast for a surf at Ahipara, on stunning 90 mile beach. Kite surfing off Tokerau Beach is popular.

Special conditions:
Please - no additional guests staying beyond those booked.
No smoking inside our on the property grounds.
No tents or additional overnight guests without prior permission.
No pets allowed on the property
No open fires - the peninsula in general is usually very dry and fire risk is often high (There is a chimnea on the deck that you are welcome to use)

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$75.00 per stay); Linen (professionally laundered and pressed, included).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
We are a Canadian/Kiwi couple. My partner grew up on this land and helped his family farm it when he was young. I fell in love with it the first time he brought me up north. We live in Auckland but love our escapes to the bach and often spend our weekends either on the water paddling, or on the land, planting trees (or controlling weeds!).

Why they chose this property

This bach is built on family land and has a special history to us. Previously farmed, we are gradually returning our property to native bush, and though still small, the native plantings around the bach have all been propagated from local sources and planted by the two of us over many years of hard work.

What makes this property unique

This place is good for the soul. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you will enjoy complete privacy (with the exception of neighbouring cows). The bach is full of light and completely opens up with bifold doors on either side, to let the sun stream in.

It is a short drive to multiple beaches - about 800m off Tokerau beach (driving only).

This isn't a shopping destination or a place to go for fine dining. It is a blissful, serene getaway. Bring your swimsuit and water sports gear, a good book and a bottle of wine and you will be set.
