About this house rental
Our humble Kiwi bach is a quirky wee place located in the beautiful Duncan Bay, Tennyson Inlet.
Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac on the hill, it is a five-minute walk to the beach, with great swimming at the Duncan Bay picnic reserve. Despite being small, our classic kiwi bach has three double bedrooms and a kids bunk room. There is a loft above the living area that provides an extra space to relax or for kids to play.
The property is two storey, with two bedrooms downstairs. The internal staircase is reasonably steep, so please navigate this carefully. There is a baby safe gate at the top of the stairs.
The newly extended, spacious deck is an awesome place to have dinner or drinks, surrounded by native bush and birdsong. We have two kayaks that guests are welcome to use and there's a filleting bench for all the fish you're going to catch during your stay. We have a TV and DVD player, with a large selection of DVDs, and heaps of games and puzzles. There is also a bush library (book exchange) nearby.
Children are welcome. There are toys, books and a baby gate at the top of the stairs for safety. Good, house-trained dogs are welcome to join you on your stay. There is a kennel down stairs to keep your pup secure. Water bowls and leads are available for our canine guests, as well as doggy doo bags so you can clean up after them. Dogs are not permitted on the furniture or beds.
Duncan Bay has a fantastic launching ramp for your boat, or have a go at catching a snapper off the wharf or from Pipi Beach.
We have a mooring - please let us know if you wish to use this.
We also offer complimentary tea and coffee, as well as some general pantry breakfast supplies. Please note, water must be boiled before drinking, or bring some in with you. Linen and towels are not supplied, so please bring your own. All beds have mattress protectors, duvets, blankets and pillows.
There is now 4G cell reception in Duncan Bay!
When you book, please leave us a note with details such as where you are travelling from, the purpose of your trip and if you are bringing a dog.

Great location, Duncan bay is beautiful. The kayaks included are a great addition. While the TV isn't fancy the entertainment opportunities (DVD's, board games, open kitchen, kayaks, walks and so on) are great and perfect for a holiday away with the family.

Classic Kiwi bach with all the amenities you'd need. It's well equipped - plenty of fridge and freezer space & comfy beds. Duncan Bay is just an amazing location and the bach was a short walk down to the water. Bach has a great deck, lots of greenery and awesome birdsong. A lovely place to just rest and reset. The CD, DVD and classic board/ card games collections were great - kept us all entertained. Kids loved the loft area and spent a lot of time up there either making up imaginary games or just chilling.It's not a fancy place but it's comfortable. An easy place to just "be".

Great spot, however there isn’t anything to tell you about the insanely steep stairs (house isn’t one story like photos would suggest) I have just had knee surgery and have fallen down them resulting in my knee having to be operated on again, also resulted in slicing half my toe open and having to travel 2 hours to the nearest hospital. Might pay to include this In description as I would not have booked a place with stairs.
