About this property

Sounds Magic - Moetapu Bay Bach

Step out the door and onto the sand—this location is perfect for paddling adventures, with the option to bring your paddleboards and kayaks to use directly from the beach thanks to open water access at your doorstep.

For boating enthusiasts, there’s a boat launching ramp just 500m around the corner, and you can moor your boat directly in front of the beach, making it easy to explore the Sounds by water.

Inside, the bach features cosy open-plan living with a wood-burning fireplace, ideal for relaxing winter stays while enjoying uninterrupted views of the tranquil Sounds. In summer, the easy indoor-outdoor flow makes BBQs on the deck a must, with stunning beach and bay views as your backdrop.

Bedroom 1 includes a queen bed while bedroom 2 has a bunk with a queen base and single top, making this a great setup for couples or families.

Outside, the location is simply magical. Wake to the chorus of native birds, stroll along the pristine beachfront, or enjoy a morning paddle in the calm waters. For the more adventurous, there are nearby walking and cycling tracks, additional beaches, fishing spots, and local wineries to explore. All this is just a short drive on sealed roads from Havelock.

With its unbeatable beachfront access, native birdlife, and easy waterway access, Sounds Magic is the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy everything Moetapu Bay has to offer.
As the property has unfenced access to the bay, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure safety around water.

Access to the property is via three steps leading up to the deck, which then provides entry to the bach. This may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.

The top bunk bed is only suitable for children.

This property sleeps a maximum of 4 adults and 1 child.

Absolutely no dogs permitted on the property.

Please note that unfortunately the sun umbrella has sustained damage during the recent storm. This will not be available to use during your stay.
