About this property
Quintessential kiwi beach holiday
Our classic Kiwi Bach is literally right on the beach. Step out the French doors onto the deck and then the sand of the inlet. Wonderful for families as the beach is child-friendly. But if you prefer more excitement, it's a short walk (or swim) across to the surf at Pataua North. We also have a selection of kayaks available so you can explore the area.
The Bach is well-equipped with everything you need, including a fabulous BBQ and plenty of outdoor furniture. We have a huge backyard with plenty of room for the kids to run around or have a game of family cricket.
If you're after a winter escape, the log burner in the living room is perfect for cozy evenings by the fire with plenty of wood in the shed.
There are 2 bedrooms with super comfortable queen-sized beds. One of the bedrooms has an ensuite toilet. There is another sleeping area with 2 single beds. This area can be curtained off for privacy. There is also the caravan, which can be made available upon request.
Special conditions:
Pataua South is also a dog-friendly beach so we are very happy for you to bring your family pet. We just ask that you follow our few simple dog rules and know where your dog is at all times.
Generally, we do not allow any camping as it is too much strain on our infrastructure to have more than 6/8 people staying.
Smoking is allowed outside only.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$90 per stay); Linen and towels (included). Caravan upon enquiry

About the host
Hosted by nikki99
As a family we all own this little bach, thanks to our wonderful mum who first discovered the area and got the ball rolling. My name is Nikki and I generally look after the bach bookings. I live in Auckland with my husband and 3 kids and we come up as often as we possibly can, as does my Mum and sister. For us, the bach is a retreat from the madness of the city and a place for us to get together and create life long family memories. We are happy to share our bach on Homeaway/bookabach and hope that those who come to stay love it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Our mum first found this bach when she went on holiday with a friend in about 2010. She fell in love with the area instantly and in particular the unspoiled little baches that dotted along the waters edge. When the opportunity came up to buy one of them, as a family, we all agreed it was a "no brainer".
What makes this property unique
The absolute beach front location along with the ever changing picturesque view across the inlet and ocean make this the perfect spot. We hope people will appreciate our love for all things retro, giving the house a charming and classic original kiwi bach style.
