Bay View Bach • Dreamy Views w/ Bay Access
Tucked down a quiet cul-de-sac right on Cox Bay`s waterfront, Bay View Bach is a humble, cosy and perfectly comfortable family holiday home with a true Kiwi bach feel. Step out to your own private access to the bay and paddleboard, kayak or splash about in the calm water. Prefer dry land? Enjoy serene ocean views from the kitchen, living area and master bedroom.
Built in the Lockwood style of the `90s, the bach sleeps up to six across three bedrooms: two with queen beds and wardrobes, and one with two single beds. There is one bathroom with a shower and bath, a separate toilet, an open-plan living and dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with stovetop, oven and microwave. The big north-facing deck has a large outdoor dining table, chairs and a covered BBQ area. Board games, books, puzzles, a Smart TV and WiFi keep everyone happy on chilled family evenings.
We provide linen, towels, toiletries, tea, coffee, milk, dishwashing and laundry supplies, firewood and gas for the BBQ, so you can arrive and unwind.
The whole property is yours, apart from the locked basement garage and one extra room (owners only). Off-street parking suits 2 to 3 cars, with space for a boat (please ask) and other sports equipment.
Surfers will love the big waves at world-famous Manu Bay, while Cox Bay and Lorenzen Bay are great for swimming, kayaking and body boarding, and you might spot orcas. Enjoy bushwalking, golf, mini putt and fishing, with Raglan`s cafes, restaurants, craft shops and supermarket a short drive away. The town centre is about a 5-minute drive or 25-minute walk. Further beaches, Mount Karioi tracks, mountain biking and Bridal Veil Falls are best reached by car.

We had a great stay. The bach was comfortable and the views were great. We even extended an extra day, and the host was responsive and helpful with our request. Would definitely go back. ☺️
Nice 3 bedroom home on the waterfront at Raglan harbor
The house was clean and the access was easy
Nice touches were the fire place ready to light and the decking area with great views
The property was missing a few minor things like enough cutlery to use for 5 people, a cork screw for the wine bottle and the sound system was unusable.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and a few minor tweaks would make this even more enjoyable.
