About this property
Kiwi Bach Escape - Close To Beach
Our much loved humble Kiwi Bach is a great escape from the busy lives we lead. Set back from the road it is quiet with the exception of the native birdsong in the backyard trees. Without all the city light pollution the night stars are amazing & from the font deck & bedroom you can listen to the sound of the waves from stunning Cooks Beach which is just a short 4 minute walk away.
At the back of the property there is a tidal stream & the back gate gives you access to a pathed walk around the residential lake area. Please be aware that both the stream & the lake are not fenced. If you prefer a more adventurous local walk our favourites include the walks to Lonely Bay & Shakespeare Cliff Lookout.
Our Bach is also just minutes walk to local restaurants & convenience stores & within a 15 mins drive you can be at either Hot Water or Hahei Beaches & access to the famous Cathedral Cove Walkway.
Alternatively for a spot of retail therapy or a trip to the movies the Ferry across to Whitianga is only a few minutes drive from Cooks Beach. Also within a short drive are local Tennis Courts, the Purangi Golf Course, the Mercury Bay Winery & the popular Eggsentric & Colenso Cafes.
As the Bach relies on the supply of precious rain water we ask that you please be mindful of this during your stay.
If you are looking for a place to get away & enjoy nature & some screen free time then we believe our beloved Bach is the perfect choice.

About the host
Hosted by Tania
I am a beach & nature lover & enjoy walking, spending time with family & friends & travelling to interesting places where people "do" life differently. In my youth I spent a lot of holidays camping & exploring the beaches of the Coromandel Coast. I feel very blessed to own a small piece of this stunning part of the country. Cooks Beach is one of my favourite spots on earth & is my home away from home. Whenever I first drive into the village it feels like any stress I may have melts away as I return to the sights & sounds of nature & a simpler way of life.
Why they chose this property
There is so much to love about our wee Bach which has been part of our family for the last 18 years. The location is fabulous - close to the beach but away from the road. The backyard is big & we love the established grove of trees out there. This property has gifted us many fun family times & has always provided a welcome break from the busyness of Auckland life. With our own 3 children now adults with their own busy lives it felt like the right time to allow others to enjoy this precious piece of Coromandel paradise.
What makes this property unique
I so love the closeness of our Bach to the beach & icecreams! Being tucked down a long driveway with lots of trees at the back of the property I always feel very peaceful & relaxed here.
