About this property

Whatuwhiwhi Beachfront

Beautiful summer sunsets enjoying a glass of wine or two from the deck. Perfect spot to observe action on the beach with safe swimming and lots of outdoor adventure. Boats can be launched from the beach with great fishing or surf casting off the rocks.
Great place to stay and explore Karikari Peninsula with some of the best beaches in NZ, Matai Bay, Rangiputa, Karikari and Tokerau beach. Carrington Estate winery is very nearby with a championship golf course, this is well worth a visit. Also the short drive to the famous Mangonui Fish Shop and quaint local village is a treat.
Bach is compact, comfortable and clean, real Kiwi bach!.
Special conditions:
andquot;Pets allowed with prior approval but not insideandquot;
andquot;Families preferredandquot;
andquot;Smoking allowed outside onlyandquot;

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house, do the dishes and leave tidy before you leave (instructions are written inside re cleaning on departure); Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);
