About this property

The Yellow Bach 90m to Campbells Beach; kayaks, wifi, Sky, Netflix, sleeps 4

Welcome to the Yellow Bach!

Four people can enjoy a quiet sandy, safe and tidal beach just 90 metres across the grass. Front row position. Lovely sea and summer sunset views from the dining table. Seaside children's playground is a one minute walk away
There are some really nice and safe kayak paddles within the bay, up two mangrove creeks as well as around the coast.

A little under an hour north of Auckland, Campbells makes for a great escape place.
By car, Matakana is 9 minutes, Tawharanui Regional Park and Sandspit both 15 minutes and Warkworth supermarket 20 minutes.

Campbells Beach is a hotspot for birdlife. Listen to the kaka, bellbirds and tuis in the day time, kookaburras (true) at dawn and dusk and an owl at night.

Things to do at the bach
Kids love the seaside play ground and safe swimming beach
HD smart TV with MySky, fast wifi, Netflix

PADDLE through mangroves at Campbells Beach, across to Baddley's Beach and up their creek, and paddle out to enjoy the sunset on the water
WALK at low tide straight to gather cockles, left around the rocks to the next (no name) beach, right past Baddely's Beach to Buckleton Beach and even further. You can walk for hours.

Serene beachfront location and lovely place to stay with lots to do in the area. Our host David was helpful and communicative and the bach was thoughtfully equipped. The weather was a bit chilly for kayaking on this stay but would be wonderful in summer in the calm bay. Thanks very much!

About the host

Hosted by David Pooch

Host profile image
We live on the North Shore and have five adult children and eight grand children. We have had enormous fun over the years at the bach with the kayaks, fishing, lawn cricket and so on.

Why they chose this property

We bought this place because it was right on the water, level for grand children to play and only an hour from home. We also like the fact that there is lots of bird life there. Tui, wood pigeon, oyster catchers, grey heron, owl and even kookaburra (true, they migrated from Kawau and you can hear them early morning and in the evening). We often hear kaka flying overhead too.

What makes this property unique

Just one hour from Auckand, quiet, on the beach, and a hotspot for bird life. 7 minutes drive to Matakana. Newly renovated, excelllent kitchen and dishwasher, cosy and warm. Children's playground very close by.
