About this property

Big Beachfront Bach- the Surf Chalet

This large, comfortable house is absolute beachfront at the sheltered North end of Taupo Bay and next to the boat ramp for easy access. There are spectacular beach views from most rooms and you fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach and the kiwi calling on the hill above.

With 4 bedrooms and 2 living rooms, it is spacious and well set up for two families or large groups, with plenty of room for up to 12 guests. The fully large section has a fenced lawn in front of the house for the kids to play on and bush up the back to explore.

The kitchen is tidy and well equipped with an oven, hob, dishwasher and a fabulous view! There is outdoor dining and a BBQ on the front deck so you can dine and watch the boats launching in the surf.

The bathroom set up is perfect for a bach, with separate shower cubicle, bath, sink and two toilets.

The Surf Chalet is a proper kiwi bach- it is simple, comfortable and great for a relaxing holiday at the beach. We have recently renovated internally so its looking fresh and beautiful inside too!

Taupo Bay is one of the best beaches in NZ, with a long, curved swell-magnet beach and a cool rocky headland to the south. Spend your time surfing, fishing, investigating rock pools, boogie boarding, sunbathing and digging in the sand. Enjoy the fabulous Northland weather on one of its top beaches- you won't want to leave the bay!

Please note: We provide duvets and pillows for beds. Please bring your own sheets, pillow cases and towels or you can rent from our property managers
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
