Modern Retro Bach, flat easy stroll to beach and town
About this house rental
Located in Whangamatā, this lovely house for $211 per night is a great option for your next vacation. This property will wow you with it's bohemian charm. Bedrooms in the main house as well as beds in our retro caravan & bus PLUS two 1980's arcade game machines onsite, you can't get any cooler! But don't be fooled - this has all the modern comforts inside the 3 bedroom main house - new carpets, kitchen, plus brand new quality beds, linens, heat-pump/aircon and electric blankets, the living here is fun and easy! Two separate lounges make it simple for families - kids can be entertained the old school way with TWO TV's and DVD players: one in the large rumpus/lounge, and one in the lounge/dining leaving adults to enjoy and entertain! With one bathroom in the main house, plus a separate shower/toilet in a tidy outdoor utility shed means heaps of space for all. There is no reason to stay indoors - outdoors a large fenced garden, with plenty of room to set up cricket or kick a ball, plus an outdoor fire, perfect for dinner outside on balmy nights, and toasting marshmallows for the kids. For those seeking a more active stay - right across the road is a basketball court and fitness trail, and a lovely stroll to the Marina is a short 2 minute walk away. Add to this an easy 8 minute flat walk to beach and town in one direction, skate park in another. Plus for the younger ones, a newly renovated kids playground with pirate ship just around the corner. With only a 4 minute hop and skip to the local supermarket - holiday's really can't get any easier! Whangamata boasts excellent surfing on the beautiful sandy beach, fishing and a variety of high quality restaurants, bars and boutique shopping. And the beautiful Coromandel Forest park is a 5 minute drive, with scenic walks to old mines and waterfalls. We love this place - and know you will too.

Wonderfully quirky with lots of different spaces to use and good flexibility with regards to sleeping configuration. Loved the roasting marshmallows over the outdoor fire and the big kids spent way too much time on the arcade games. Also enjoyed walking to town and beach.

Unfortunately, we chose the wettest weekend on record to head to the beach so we weren't able to make the most of this bach. The games room with the arcade games were great though to keep both the kids and adults entertained. Bach was clean, good amenities and easy walk to town and supermarket. Wharf and beach an easy walk too.

The bach was everything you want from a NZ summer rental with family and friends. It was quirky and fun, with lots of cool surprises, completely clean and tidy, the booking and check-in process was was easy, and the back was very well equipped for a great stay. We would love to stay here again. I would just say that the photos on the advertisement don’t do the bach justice, so you may think about retaking some of them.

Lovely location, property good until drains blocked and raw sewage came out of exposed drains around bbq area. On our 4th night we were unable to use inside toilet, shower or washing machine. Due to this we contacted owners and left property early. Owners refuse to communicate regarding a resolution. Very disappointing to have our only annual holiday cut short, ruined and out of pocket.

The house was great for us. We had 6 teenagers with us so the spaces available to use worked well. Angela, the property owner, was great to deal with. The location was awesome - 10 minute walk into the town centre and beaches and 5 minutes to New World. Top spot to stay.

Wonderful place to stay!!!
It is near Whangamata beach, Whangamata Marina, New World and center of the town, where you can find restaurants, cafes and cinema.
The place itself is cozy and nice.
The kitchen is complete with cutleries and basic condiments.
The entertainment room is awesome with 2 arcade machines filled up with hundreds of retro arcade games (Street Fighter 2, yeahh !!!), boardgames, DVDs and books.
There are 2 bathrooms, one inside the main house, the other one outside (get yourself an umbrella if it is raining).
Angela, the owner, is very friendly and patient. She is also fast in responding to our queries.
All in all it was a pleasant place to stay for a short trip.
