About this property

Classic family bach experience, one minute to the beach

A New Zealand classic bach designed for families, built in the 1970s, set in a fully fenced quarter acre section with beautiful trees and room to play cricket. On a back section, protected from the wind and quiet but only one minute's walk down the drive to the safe surf beach. Bring your kayaks as we are only ten minutes walk to Ohiwa Harbour which offers wonderful kayaking.

Please note it is a very comfortable bach but suits people who want to experience the bach rather than holiday home experience.

Safe for toddlers or dogs as it is fully fenced. Open plan living with two bedrooms in the bach and two more bedrooms in a recently built sleepout. Only one bathroom but cleverly designed with two showers (one outdoors) and two toilets.

Fully equipped with washing machine, microwave, highchair and portable cot. Although we ask you to bring your own linen there are plenty of duvets and blankets. Although it sleeps 9 it is really only suitable for 6 adults. The other beds are more suitable for children as they are divans.

There is a pizza oven that you can use. However you cannot use driftwood so there is a smalll supply of wood available. If you want to use it please let us know and we will send some instructions and suggestions about where to get suitable wood.

To complete the bach experience there is a range of family board games and an interesting range of books to read.

Please note there is a cleaning fee. So treat yourself as this means you do not have to do any cleaning when you leave. We just ask you leave the bach tidy with the dishes done.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only.
Please keep dogs off the furniture.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$70.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

About the host

Hi
My name is Sue and I am the eldest of four who along with our mum own the bach. I manage the bookings and cleaning, my sister does the accounts and my brothers organise the maintenance.

Why they chose this property

Our mum and dad built the bach and it is a much loved place for our family. This year we have just celebrated 50 years of our annual bach holiday. At Christmas time everyone gathers, put up the tents and spend a week or so together. This year my mum who is 94 had all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren stay for at least two nights.

What makes this property unique

1 minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes to the harbour, great for kayaking and fishing.
Mum has planted trees so the section has shade from the hot midday sun and makes the section relatively private. The tuis are regular visitors. We are down a right of way and this means we are sheltered from the on-shore wind, but still have direct access to the beach; just down the right of way and across Ocean Road.
The section is fully fenced so safe for children and dogs. There is a swing to entertain children, plus plenty of room for a game of cricket.
We love the large deck we added ten years ago and tend to spend most of our time out on it during our family holiday.
