About this property
Whangaumu Bay. Great space and sea views
Whangaumu Bay has a wide white sandy beach which is safe to swim in and boats can launch at all tides.
Our family beach home is situated across a quiet no exit road looking over a public reserve and the water from the main lounge and living area upstairs. Upstairs also has 2 double bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower over the bath, and a large deck with the BBQ and large outdoor table. Also a smaller deck is a off the main lounge and the front bedroom. Both decks are totally secure for little ones.
Downstairs has another large lounge, with a mini kitchen - jug, toaster, sink and microwave. One of the three double bedrooms here also has a single bed in it. All beds are comfortable. All rooms open to outside. The downstairs bathroom only has a shower. 2 flat screen TVs show Sky. Wireless broadband password is available on site.
The large covered downstairs deck protects an outside lounge suite beside the hammock and overlooking the back yard.
The tree shaded, fully fenced section has an outdoor toilet and shower with another hot water outside shower over an outside bath. The latter is heaps of fun to clean off sand and get warm again after coming home from the beach (or to watch for comets and satellites among the stars after dark!)
The trampoline has a new safety cage (2020)
There is one large old caravan on site if someone wants to sleep outside the house.
We have a boat mooring in the Bay. Please enquire about availability and cost.
When other attractions call, coffee and more is only 5 mins away! Tutukaka has 4 restuarants, a few tourist shops and a store which also sells petrol. From the Marina go out on the 'Perfect Day' for a day's snorkel at the world famous dive ground of The Poor Knights.
Ngunguru Village has 3 more resturants, store, and the recreation centre with 9 holes golf course, tennis and bowls. You can walk to Ngunguru via the coast. Stunning views and pretty river beaches for swimming on the way.
Walks and other beaches both flat and surf are all along the Tutukaka Coast. Matapouri Bay, Whale Bay, Sandy Bay and Woolies Bay.
We enjoy letting our home esp. to extended families. Over Christmas we prefer 5 to 10 day bookings.
Special conditions:
Bring your own sheets, towels and tea towels. Pillows, duvets and blankets are provided.
We have a few single and one double mattress for any overflow of children in the downstairs lounge.
Smoking allowed outside only.
House needs to be left tidy for the cleaner. Charge $100.
The house is large and we like to keep it immaculate.
Families preferred.
Please tell me a little about your group.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$100 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Alan and Liz

We have been married 53 years and have 3 married daughters and 8 grandchildren. We all love holidaying together as much as possible at Whangaumu Bay. Boating, swimming, kayaking, spear fishing, walking, coffee out and lazing around are what we do well!
We are a retired professional couple who love travelling abroad and around NZ when we aren’t gardening on our large life style block in South Auckland.

Why they chose this property
When this property came on the market it was being run as a small camp. We’d stayed here in previous summers and loved everything about the beach and the whole Tutukaka Coast. We purchased a relocatable one story home and then realised we needed a large two story home! In giving it a make over we created a home away from home but one surrounded by peace and tranquillity looking out over the beach. Tuis are everywhere. The home especially suits extended families. On days you don’t feel like being on the beach or doing other activities you can just relax, read a book and watch those on the beach from inside.
What makes this property unique
The upstairs is a home in itself with its enclosed deck for the little ones. This deck has a large outdoor table and a BBQ. Downstairs is great for the overflow and it’s covered deck with it’s old comfortable furniture and hammock faces sunny north. From there you can watch the young ones play. You can eat on the outside dining table.
The kayaks, 2 singles and a double are available.
