About this property

Opoutere - Nat's Place

Nat's Place started life as a basic little Kiwi bach in 1959. Since then it has been extended and modernised several times and now comprises a kitchen area, living room, lounge, bathroom, four bedrooms and two decks. A complete new kitchen has recently been installed and the dining room and living room furniture upgraded.
Just ten minutes drive from Whangamata. Parking right at the door. Relax on the deck and enjoy the stunning views of the estuary - the views change with the weather, time and tide. Go swimming straight out in front of the bach or walk or drive down to the surf beach. Climb School Hill for spectacular views out to Slipper Island and beyond. Enjoy boating on the estuary - the bach is directly opposite the boat ramp - or try fishing from the little jetty.
Special conditions:
The price listed is for 2 adults. There is an additional charge of $20 per day for each extra adult and $15 per day for school-aged children. Pre-schoolers are free.

Extras:
Linen: Optional, for a $15 per person flat fee. Contact us after your booking has been confirmed if you would like to have linen provided.
Cleaning: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to clean the house and do the dishes before you leave. But in response to recent requests, we now offer the option of having the bach cleaned after you leave, for a fee of $70. Contact us after your booking has been confirmed if you would like to take up this offer.

A beautiful get away spot

We really enjoyed this accommodation. It reminded us of our Grandparents home. Full of character and comforts. The fire was cozy and the view was stunning. We loved the location as it was away from the hustle and bustle.

A little gem in paradise.

We had such a restful and relaxing stay at Nats Place....for a second time. Nats Place is a stereotypical, good old fashioned kiwi beach bach with a mesmerising view over the Wharekawa Harbour. It has everthing needed to make your holiday comfortable. The stunning Opoutere beach is a leisurely walk away, or drive, and offers a 5km walk from one end to the other, or just stretch out and relax in the sun. Whangamata offers everything you could need on holiday and is only a 10 minute drive away.

Our Christmas holiday

I adore Nat’s Place. It’s the perfect kiwi bach in the most beautiful place on the planet. Nice big spaces inside for everyone to be if it rained and endless outdoor options. This was our second stay and we’d definitely love to return.

Family Reunion

Great accommodation for family getting together to attend a wedding. Location was perfect for us and the house provided for us beautifully. Recent weather damage to the driveway presented a challenge for some of us.

Weekend stay

Great little Bach, very relaxing, no mod cons but nice simple and relaxing, beautiful spot to sit and enjoy sun rises and have a evening bbq, the birds are amazing here, only thing that lets it down is the driveway in as the weather has gouged out huge holes and not so great to get up , just needs a digger to jun over it

Beautiful location

Lovely location and cute little bach with stunning views. Not the cleanest unfortunately with the bedding covers needing washing and the house generally not clean. The carport area had recycling and various bins with rubbish sitting around and in the way of car access. Not having curtains made it feel a little uncomfortable, especially when staying alone. This detracted from the stay.

Fabulous iconic kiwi bach

Refreshing to have a true iconic kiwi bach. Plenty of space. We were only 3 but grand to see how many sleeping options there could be for groups. Private areas. Views, sea life and bird life stunning. We will be back. The communication from the owners outstanding and really helpful. Much appreciated.
