About this house rental

It's a real unplug and reconnect Kiwi holiday - enjoy the peace with no TV or phone to interrupt your board games, swimming, walks and reading time.

The bach is very family-friendly, with books, magazines, board games and toys all available to use. Playgrounds, Four Square, dairy and fish and chip shops are all in easy walking distance.

This is also a wonderful spot for a couple wanting some time to reconnect with walks along the beach, a coffee at the local cafe and some serious downtime from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The bach has space for 10 people - two sets of bunks (one with a double), a queen-size bed, one single bed and two fold out couches.

The house is only 90sqm so while it can sleep that many, it's best for those who are happy with intimacy with their family and friends :)

Special conditions:
This bach is a basic kiwi Bach that will take you back in time but please don't expect perfection! We'd hate for you to be disappointed.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house throughly and do the dishes before you leave, wash all bedding and towels and take all your rubbish with you.

An extremely authentic old-school bach! With everything you would need and a warm wood-burner. Location was handy to the estuary walkway (a gem we didn't know about till we arrived!); with a westerly wind we could hear the sea; and an excellent coffee shop ("Coffee Ninja") a 20-minute walk away.

Thank you Al & Nadine, a lovely cute bach! we had everything we needed for a great stay. Clean, cosy and comfortable. Great that our dog could come along too, and really good to have a fully fenced yard. Lovely beach walks and fresh fish & chips from Mr Grumpy’s, fab coffee at Ginger Ninja coffee house. A great weekend spot.
