About this property

The Green Bach opposite beach- quirky and great for groups and families

Quintessential kiwi bach located across the road from a beautiful stretch of Omāpere beach, with a track opposite the house leading directly to the shore.
The two upstairs bedrooms have stunning views of the sea and dunes. Downstairs you will find the original 1960’s kitchen, a double bedroom, as well as open plan living and dining. There is also a small playroom and large chalkboard for the kids. This quirky bach was formerly a home, cafe, backpackers and windsurfing school and perfect for large groups and extended family holidays.
The large, fenced, partly covered deck is perfect for drinks or a BBQ on a balmy summer's evening.
The house is the perfect base for exploring the beautiful and historic Hokianga, with plenty of walking, water sports and sightseeing on your doorstep.
Please note: Linen hire is available on request for an additional fee (duvets, pillows and blankets are provided)

Good location

Great location, spacious for a family. House was generally tidy but did have a fair bit of dust build up. Needs an update. Mattresses were not very comfortable. Easy access location and you can hear the water from the bedroom which was nice.

The perfect batch for the most perfect weekend

My family and I stayed here to attend a wedding, the batch was beautiful, I loved the old school vibe, it was clean and just a pop over the road to the ocean. Sacha was a great host and communicated thoroughly. Thanks for the great stay!

Old style bach but with good upgrades and lots of space. Lots of windows to open to get a breeze going to cool things in the heat of summer.

This was our second stay at Green Bach, and although it's nothing flash, there have been so many improvements since our last visit in 2018. Great place to stay with plenty of room and a very sweet cat.

Lovely spot but note outside shower

The bach is in a great spot across road and through some bush to a great beach, but limited harbour views due to trees across the road. The bach is comfy and kitchen well appointed. Nice to have a table big enough for pur group. There is a handheld shower over a bath inside with main showers in a lean-to outside. This was fine for our group and shower pressure was great but I imagine some might not like this setup. We arrived just after a big storm but the outdoor areas and showers were long overdue for a big sweep. Bring earplugs so you can sleep longer than the neighbours rooster! The owner was very responsive to queries.

Quintessential kiwi Bach

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Bach had everything we needed, and was in a lovely quiet spot with lots of privacy. The only thing lacking was the WiFi and mobile network connectivity, but when you’re on holiday that’s not a bad thing!

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Communication was superb and when we forgot towels (!) we were incredibly kindly catered for. House was perfect for us. Lots of space. Blackboard and kids toys provided hours of fun. Deck was lovely and cat a delight. We hope to be back. Thank you

Hey sacha. My family had an awesome stay this time round. Just letting you know that there was a chair that broke on my son. I think the sun has taken its toll on the net chairs. Just thought id let you know as the other chairs may break on others in the future. My son was holding my baby when it broke on him. The house cleanliness is quite poor. Fridge had mold in the rubber seals, there were alot of dead bees that had fallen on the ground then i found a whole heap that started to wake up i managed to get them out though. Also toilet bins werent empty when we arrived. Basins didnt look wiped down. But apart from that our stay was awesome. Sacha youve been an amazing property manager. Awesome communication. And definitely improving issues as i seen alot of things had been restocked this time round. The floors looked like they had been re painted absolutely awesome stay. Love this house. Alot of the things i mentioned are just things to be wary of but easy tonwork around or just clean it up outselves which we dont mind. Again definitely we will be back awesome location, very accommodating, can host a family get together even. There is that many rooms. The outside showers are wicked for straight after the beach. My dad also enjoyed his stay which was his 1st time there. You have just won him overwith this place. He absolutely loved it. And wants to book here everytime we come up now. So again thank you Sacha

About the host

Hosted by Sacha Hickman

Host profile image
The Green Bach has been in our family for 20 years. We've had great holidays in the north and wanted to open the house for others to enjoy. Guests are able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Hokianga and have a true kiwi bach experience.

Why they chose this property

The Hokianga is spiritual and stunningly beautiful.

What makes this property unique

When you enter the Green Bach you feel like you are 'away from home'. The house is comfortable and clean, but we have been careful not to overly modernise it. We want guests to have an authentic kiwi bach experience, complete with outdoor showers, 1950's kitchen and vintage crockery.
