About this property

Peaceful cottage beside the Waitohu Stream

Comfortable modern cottage in a sheltered garden with its own streamfront. In a quiet suburban setting, 10 minutes walk to Otaki Beach, our bach has generous outdoor living areas looking over the Waitohu Stream and onto a reserve. We chose it as our retreat because it is warm, private and sheltered from coastal winds, while still within the sound of the sea. For winter nights there's a woodburner and firewood. It's casual but tidy, fully furnished, and equipped as we would hope to find a bach we rent.
From the bach you'll be able to visit Otaki's outlet stores, explore the Tararuas, or take the rowboat for a lazy row down the stream to the beautiful, wide north end of Otaki Beach.
Special conditions:
Most suited to a couple or small family (without toddlers, because of the stream), but additional guests can be catered for at $20 per person.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Amongst nature but still close to everything.
Spectacular little spot hidden away with all the creature comforts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt like we were right amongst authentic New Zealand bushland unaware of any neighbours.

Blissful retreat
This property is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday. A beautiful private garden setting with a lovely stream running through it and the house has everything that you need. Many thanks for a wonderful stay - we especially enjoyed using "Daisy", the rowboat

Home away from home!
A wonderful stay in a private, well equipped bach - home away from home! Love the fireplace and the trees - a lovely sunny private yard. Hosts were very amenable - prompt and easy to deal with. Would stay again!
