Whangamata: Quintessential ‘Kiwi Bach' near the beach and surf club
NEWLY RENOVATED: If you’re looking for the quintessential ‘Kiwi Bach experience’, then our compact renovated 1950’s traditional bach is for you.
Well located only 400m from the beach, Williamson Park, the Surf Club, Blackies Café, 2 mins walk to the 9 hole golf course and a couple of mins by car into town.
It’s just been extensively and lovingly refurbished and is clean and comfortable. With extensive covered decks (70m2) outside. Well positioned for full north facing sun, it’s well kitted out with all you’ll need for a great relaxing holiday.
There’s a cabin located right outside the back door with a queen bed and inside there are 2 bedrooms comprising: double with single bed above and set of bunks plus single bed.
Due to size of bach (68m2 interior), maximum occupancy is 6 people.

I'm an ocean and mountain lover and Te Koha is my dream. I hope you have as many happy and memorable times there as I have.
Why they chose this property
It's so typically Kiwi and just like our people, it's humble, honest and opens its heart to you from the moment you arrive.
As part of my dream, for every night you stay, we gift a night to children who cannot afford this Kiwi iconic experience. That's why it's called Te Koha. Thank you for your contribution.

What makes this property unique
Everybody talks about the outside hot shower (we haven't used the inside one for 5 years), the outside fire to toast marshmallows and the 4 min walk to the beach. You decide :-)
