Bach at the beach - Situated at Taiharuru (east coast near Whangarei, Northland)

This is a lovly Northland New Zealand east coast bach in a great location for a lovely beach holiday.
This is a place to relax, socialise, with a 2min wander off to swim at the beach.
The ends of the bay have rock pools, tunnels and isolated beach areas - great for exploring either by swimming, snorkling or if you would rather stay dry - walking.

Swimming is ideal in the crescent bay - no rips and 5 steps in and you are ready to dive the rest of the way. No 50m walk in ankle deep water here, unless you want that and are walking down the beach along the edge of the water :-)

With the large sliding windows and doors, this bach is where you can happily send everyone else to the beach and hang back to read your book in peace.

Whether you are lounging in the lounge or prepping in the kitchen, the view out across the estuary is always a glance away.
The vacation home features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include an electric kettle and a dining table.
