The space

Conveniently situated on the road heading to Leigh from the Matakana township, this fully renovated kiwi bach with a large new north facing deck is a great location perfect for family holiday accommodation, overseas guest accommodation, special occasions, weekday retreats and weekend getaways.

It is a large property by the creek, sunny and sheltered from the prevailing wind. Bordered by a council reserve which only you have access to.

7 minutes from Matakana market and 7 minutes from Goat island marine reserve.

- This bach backs onto a tidal estuary and Coxhead creek and is across the road from the idyllic Whangateau Harbour.

- Only minutes from beaches, eateries, vineyards, Matakana township and family friendly activities.

- Nice flow to deck for enjoyment and hosting.

Conveniently situated on the main road heading east from the Matakana township toward Mathesons Bay, Leigh, Goat Island Marine Reserve and Pakiri, this fully renovated kiwi bach is perfect for family holiday accommodation, overseas guest accommodation, special occasions, weekday retreats and weekend getaways.

Located just one hour north of Auckland City, the bach has three bedrooms, one bathroom, open plan living/kitchen/dining and some great outdoor living areas including a north facing deck that spills out onto the front lawn. The estuary flows under a small bridge through to Whangateau Harbour across the road which can be accessed by kayak (And yes there is 2x kayaks available for use under the deck including life jackets).

The 3 bedrooms have new queen sized beds plus three spare mattresses which can go on the floor.

Take this great opportunity to get north of Auckland to one of New Zealand's best most accessible holiday spots.

About the host

Hosted by thebach398

Host profile image
Kia ora, Our names are Anna and Ross Davis and we are originally from Auckland and have lived many years in Wellington. We are part of a large Māori, Pākehā and Moana Pacific families.

Why they chose this property

We bought the bach as we love sailing and mucking around on the water in small boats. We hope the kids love climbing one of the regions most beautiful pohutukawa trees, paddle boarding at high tide and even at low tide we love the long walks across the harbour. Bring old shoes or sandals.

What makes this property unique

Fully renovated, right by the water with own jetty and Whangateau harbour right across the road. Harbour is shallow and safe ideal for small children. Property is not fenced to the creek which is deep at high tide
