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.

What a lovely place
The house is large and well appointed, and located across the road from the beautiful Whangaumu Bay. The property was ideal for our young family, fenced, with a trampoline, toys and puzzles. Our kids had a blast. The covered deck downstairs was lovely to retreat to in the heat of the day. The hosts were lovely to communicate with, and very quick to respond. The home is located a very short drive to a great cafe (Salt Air Cafe), a decent playground, and general supplies. I would very happily visit again! Thanks again Liz & Alan.

Family beach getaway
The house was perfect for our large family group, loved having the downstairs lounge setup so the older kids could have their own space to play, the house was baby proof for the little ones with a lockable gate at the top of the stairs, all of the cooking things you could need are there and the bbq outside was a hit! Awesome beach for the kids to play on right across the road, the owners were quick to reply when we had a problem with the vacuum and are very friendly. Bonus having the foam mattresses downstairs the kids all set them up and had a sleepover in the lounge. The only negatives was the water pressure in the indoor shower and bath could of been better but still adequate for a holiday. Overall was a great house great location and we all felt very at home and comfortable during our stay, even met some of the neighbours and they were all very friendly, will hopefully be back again one day!

Bach is as described
As described. The bbq is a weber and frying pans were new which is really good as we cooked there. Plenty of room for kids in back yard and beach across the road

About the host

Hosted by Alan and Liz

Host profile image
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.
