Bach with stunning harbour views

Enjoy stunning harbour views from this 1960s bach. Sleeps 2 to 7 across 3 rooms. The third bedroom is accessed from the deck and has its own toilet. It is one big room that we have put a curtain down the middle to split in to two areas for privacy as per the photos.

Inside, the main bach has 2 bedrooms, laundry, bathroom with toilet, a fully equipped kitchen, lounge area and a covered deck with stunning views.

The property has plenty of parking, and family-friendly vibes (note: not fully fenced). Enjoy sitting on the deck eating, relax and watch the world go by, head to the beach for a swim or some fishing.

Property has a coffee machine that takes Nespresso compatible capsules, fridge, freezer, pantry, washing machine, vacuum, TV with Freeview, Netflix, Prime although you will need your own logins for these. Wifi provided.

There are security cameras on the outside of the property, one on the driveway and two at the back. We will turn them off once you have arrived at the property for your privacy. There are none inside the house. There is a shed on the property that is not available for guests to use sorry.

Walk to the wharf and beach for fishing and swimming or dig your own hot pools at Te Puia Springs which is a short drive and then a quick hike over the sand dunes. The local town has a playground, restaurant, pub, fish & chips, bakery, dairy, petrol station, art gallery and museum — everything you need for a classic Kiwi getaway.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an oven.

We had the most amazing few days here...waking to the glorious sunrises, walking the beaches, bathing in hot water holes dug at Ocean Beach and returning to our piece of iconic Aotearoa...sitting on the deck taking in the magnificent ever-changing views. We felt we had gone back in time...suspended in our childhood memories of life as it was in rural Aotearoa. Thank you and we will be back.
