About the host

Hosted by Doug Hanna

Host profile image
Jan and I have three adult sons and were both fortunate to have parents who loved holidaying at the beach.

We always had a two-week summer holiday at a beach somewhere, whether it be in a family tent on one of my Dad’s mates' sections, later in a caravan, or in my grandparents bach at Lang's Beach or my other grandparents home at Paihia. When I was about 15 my parents bought a bach at Oakura Bay and we spent many happy summers holidaying and boating there.

When my parents relocated from Northland to a farm in the King Country and sold their Oakura bach we carried on holidaying here in the camping ground at Pirutahi Bay, just over the hill from Oakura. Eventually we bought our own beach house at Oakura and have holidayed there regularly since 1999.

Why they chose this property

It is right on the beach and gets all day sun being one of the last baches to loose the sun in the evening. We did a major rennovation and modernisation after purchasing it to give an indoor - outdoor flow and to make it suitable for accommodating two families together at the same time.

What makes this property unique

8 x Kayaks, 1 x stand up paddle board, boogie boards, unlimited wifi, 42" flatscreen TV, good quality stereo for your use plus 4 bedrooms to accommodate two families together.
