The Green Bach opposite beach- quirky and great for groups and families

Quintessential kiwi bach located across the road from a beautiful stretch of Omāpere beach, with a track opposite the house leading directly to the shore.
The two upstairs bedrooms have stunning views of the sea and dunes. Downstairs you will find the original 1960’s kitchen, a double bedroom, as well as open plan living and dining. There is also a small playroom and large chalkboard for the kids.

The large, fenced, partly covered deck is perfect for drinks or a BBQ on a balmy summer's evening.
The house is the perfect base for exploring the beautiful and historic Hokianga, with plenty of walking, water sports and sightseeing on your doorstep.
Please note: Linen hire is available on request for an additional fee (duvets, pillows and blankets are provided)

It was a nice beach batch that had everything needed for 1 night. Enjoyed sitting in sun eating our dinner. Something had died so there was a bad smell. Probably a bird. The showers outside were good pressure, but they really needed to be cleaned, dirt and leaves in them. But a great family batch

Hey sacha. My family had an awesome stay this time round. Just letting you know that there was a chair that broke on my son. I think the sun has taken its toll on the net chairs. Just thought id let you know as the other chairs may break on others in the future. My son was holding my baby when it broke on him. The house cleanliness is quite poor. Fridge had mold in the rubber seals, there were alot of dead bees that had fallen on the ground then i found a whole heap that started to wake up i managed to get them out though. Also toilet bins werent empty when we arrived. Basins didnt look wiped down. But apart from that our stay was awesome. Sacha youve been an amazing property manager. Awesome communication. And definitely improving issues as i seen alot of things had been restocked this time round. The floors looked like they had been re painted absolutely awesome stay. Love this house. Alot of the things i mentioned are just things to be wary of but easy tonwork around or just clean it up outselves which we dont mind. Again definitely we will be back awesome location, very accommodating, can host a family get together even. There is that many rooms. The outside showers are wicked for straight after the beach. My dad also enjoyed his stay which was his 1st time there. You have just won him overwith this place. He absolutely loved it. And wants to book here everytime we come up now. So again thank you Sacha

Lovely spot but note outside shower

The bach is in a great spot across road and through some bush to a great beach, but limited harbour views due to trees across the road. The bach is comfy and kitchen well appointed. Nice to have a table big enough for pur group. There is a handheld shower over a bath inside with main showers in a lean-to outside. This was fine for our group and shower pressure was great but I imagine some might not like this setup. We arrived just after a big storm but the outdoor areas and showers were long overdue for a big sweep. Bring earplugs so you can sleep longer than the neighbours rooster! The owner was very responsive to queries.

Good location

Great location, spacious for a family. House was generally tidy but did have a fair bit of dust build up. Needs an update. Mattresses were not very comfortable. Easy access location and you can hear the water from the bedroom which was nice.

My family and I stayed here to attend a wedding, the batch was beautiful, I loved the old school vibe, it was clean and just a pop over the road to the ocean. Sacha was a great host and communicated thoroughly. Thanks for the great stay!

Great NZ Batch Experience!

This is a great little batch in Omapere. Perfect for a batch-holiday getaway. Great location with a short walk to the beach and a 2 min drive to a 4-Square in Opononi. It's basic, but very livable. Be prepared that there is only really stand-up showers outside - but they are fine. The one issue we had was linens aren't included so you have to bring your own or rent. Renting was a little difficult as we were coming from overseas and the landlord would only accept a bank-transfer. Overall though, great place to stay!

Rustic realness

Kia ora, It was a pleasure staying here. Sacha was great on communication and polite and friendly. The house was plenty big enough for two couples, a kuia and a pēpi. Check-in and check-out were seamless and it was the perfect location, right next to the breach. It’ll be dreamy staying here in summer and we hope to be back! Ngā mihi
