About this property
Waitarere Beach Escape
Located on Waitarere Beach Main Road.
Our Escape is for all, surrounded by the local forest, great for families and couples to get away. A linear built house, with a spacious deck onto a large open area, village shop's and park are within walking distance with a bottle store directly opposite the driveway.
There is a great backyard for kids to run around on or just for basking in the sun. The local campgrounds are very close by if you have friends or family holidaying also.
The Waitarere Domain is a 3-minute walk from the bach which features a couple of small playgrounds, a half pipe, and toilets. There are also a couple of barbeques which are free to use at your leisure
On your way to the beach which is less than 10 minutes walk away, There is a little cafe and gift store right next to the Foursquare which by the way has the best Pies around!
The beach has a fabulous restaurant at its entrance but if you're just feeling some good old fish and chips along with the restaurant there is another fish and chip shop about 150 metres from the bach doorstep.
Levin is our closest town, a 10-minute drive away where there are many food joints to choose from as well as 3 supermarkets, The Warehouse, Farmers and many other shops where you will find everything you need.
For families, there is also Levin's famous Adventure Playground which has a great coffee shop for the adults while the kids tire themselves out on the very large park playground before heading back to the beach house which keeps cool in the summer but heats very quickly from the fireplace during the cold season. We also have two electric heaters available.
Our little bach is perfect for your next quiet getaway with a loved one, family or friends. There is have a high chair and porta cot available for use if needed.
Everyone at the beach is absolutely lovely, welcoming and always willing to help or just stop for a chat!
We LOVE Waitarere and know you will too.
EXTRAS: Linen (included) Kayak x 2 (included) Pool Table (included) BBQ (included)
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave. NO LARGE PARTIES

Lovely quiet location, pet friendly and easy distance to Levin for dog shows. Beds very comfortable, tidy, clean and will definitely come back for 2026 shows.
We liked it but, the pool cues and tennis table could be fixed up. For a small amount these are the features of the experience. Tips on the cues and nets on the table would help make it that much better. Tou could spend 100 and have these fixed and at a working level easy
Hosts were great. Awesome pool table. Table tennis table needs a new net as we couldn't play it with the wooden panel or the broken balls. Great backyard. Did need to be mowed when we arrived. Could be cleaner as the toilet needed a clean on arrival.

This is a lovely house to stay in. Comfortable beds, plenty of space and a nice big garden for the dog. A bonus was having the garage set up as a games room. We will be staying here again.
Lovely quiet location: 5min walk to the 4Square and 10mins walk to the beach. For anyone with kids there is a great playground 5 mins down the road too. The house was clean and tidy and catered very well for our needs, including allowing us to take our dog. Excellent amenities with cooking utensils, pots and pans etc. Great outdoor deck. Hosts easy to deal with and contact. 10/10. If it was wasn’t booked, we would have stayed longer! :-) Thank you.

Thanks so much. We are glad you enjoyed your stay.
Private house that suited our work schedule well. Nice place to spend the evenings after work. Enjoyed the sun and deck on Tuesday night, enjoyed the fire on Wednesday. Huge range of kitchen accessories that made cooking dinner really easy. When cleaning, the sponge for the mop did come off while we were mopping sorry! Excellent stay. Easy access. Affordable and close to any resources needed.
