About this property

A comfortable beach house to escape all the rush
and bustle of city life.

Only 1 1/4 hour drive north of Auckland this bach has excellent facilities including a large North Facing deck opening from a modern kitchen. There are two queen beds, and four single beds available. The beach house is in close proximity to a wide range of activities including the popular Matakana Markets, Wine tasting at the many local vineyards, Goat Island Marine Reserve, Pakiri surf beach and many others.

Although the bach is only 100 metres from the Matheson Bay beach the views have been obscured by the pohutukawa trees - what a shame - not!
Special conditions:

Under the Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

The bach will have been clean and tidy when you arrived. It's a lovely old bach with lots of family history so we care for it lovingly ... but ... it will never be perfect.

We expect the basics of a clean up from you when you leave - we always vacuum and mop through do the bathrooms and take out the rubbish :-).

Two nights minimum stay.
Special Holidays and Long Weekends are at "high season " rates.

AMAZING!

We absolutely loved our stay in this great house. It is spacious, comfortable, and very well set out and equipped. It has a large, shady back yard and garden perfect for outdoor games. It's a very short walk to Matheson's Bay which is a great swimming beach and a short drive to Tauwharenui, which is a stunning beach and regional park. We cannot wait to book again.

Great location 200m to the beach.

Well set out property with a great big lawn. The house is a bit tired and could do with new carpet and furnishings. It has that old school bach vibe so ideal for the summer (we went in the autumn when it was a bit wet and cold outside)

The family’s favourite!

This was our fourth stay at what has become my family’s favourite holiday spot: a lovely house in a safe, grassy, bushy setting with native birds, monarch butterflies and a terrific night-sky. The house is very welcoming with a great kitchen, sunny window seats, inside/outside/breakfast bar dining options and a spacious, comfortable lounge. It works beautifully for our mixed group: children under 8, parents and granny (who likes to retreat now and then); and some daily pop-ins from friends in the district. We don’t usually use the television but it was handy during the couple of not so sunny days we had, thanks for the Netflix for the kids! The new swing seat on the deck was much enjoyed. Note to future guests: don’t do as we did this year and fail to hook the umbrella to the house - this resulted in a tear in the fabric when a rogue gust arrived, very embarrassed about that. The beach was very different this year after the storms but still offered plenty of good swimming and spots for digging moats around sandcastles. The walk to the fossil beach is another drawcard, and the waterfalls on the reserve bush walk was extra good after the rain. As ever, a top spot for a family holiday, thank you Williams family for sharing.

Great holiday

Great place to stay. Very short walk to lovely beach. House very comfortable and clean with all we needed. Outdoor area and backyard really nice. Alan was very easy to deal with and replied promptly to a couple of queries. Burgers at Leigh Eats best I have ever had!
