Experience the Best of Whangamata: Your Classic Kiwi Escape
Escape to a place where time slows down and the ocean is your soundtrack. Located just 100 meters from both the pristine white sands and the vibrant town center, our classic Whangamata bach offers the ultimate blend of nostalgic charm and modern convenience. Whether you’re seeking a summer surf session or a cozy winter retreat, this is your perfect home base on the Coromandel.
Why You’ll Love Staying Here
The Ultimate Location: Leave the car behind. You are a two-minute stroll from the waves and just around the corner from Whangamata’s best coffee, shopping, and dining.
Space to Breathe: Situated on a rare, original large section, there is plenty of room for the kids to run around, the boat to be parked, or for you to simply find a quiet corner in the sun.
Modern Comforts: We’ve kept the classic bach soul but added the essentials. Enjoy two full bathrooms (no queuing after the beach!) and fast, reliable Wi-Fi for those who need to stay connected or stream movies on the couch.
More Than Just a Summer Destination While Whangamata shines in the sun, there is a special magic to the shoulder season and winter months. "There is nothing quite like a crisp morning walk along the full length of the beach, followed by a hot coffee at a local café."
A Foodie’s Paradise: Whangamata’s culinary scene is thriving year-round. From wood-fired pizzas and fresh seafood to award-winning brunch spots, you’ll be spoilt for choice without the summer crowds. Recharge in Peace: Enjoy the luxury of having the walking tracks and surf breaks almost entirely to yourself. The Perfect 'Work-from-Bach' Setup: With our fast Wi-Fi and spacious layout, it’s the ideal spot for a mid-week change of scenery during the quieter months.
All bedding, towels and beach towels are provided. You will be met by Lynda, our property manager, on arrival given the keys and a tour of the bach.
Please, no smoking on the property. Bach is ideal for families with plenty of outdoor space.

We had a wonderful stay. Close to the beach and town. Plenty of space for all of us, it was very comfortable. Loved the photos and history of the place. Would definitely come back.
Tony is a very welcoming host. His family bach is exactly what all kiwis of our generation remember so well. No frills, and plenty of space just to relax and chill out in splendid Whangamata.Restaurants are not too bad either, with lots of choice these days, and essential to book ahead for the most popular ones….. one of which is utterly World class !!Thank you Tony for your wonderful hospitality.
Great location, house isn't new but has all the mod cons to enjoy a nice break. Top batch, thanks to Tony for letting us enjoy a piece of his family's history
It was a memorable holiday with my precious brother and sister before they move to USA. Perfect location to go for fishing on the beach and close to town centre. The bach was very comfortable and tidy.
Tony allowed my small dog to stay at the outside utility room. Thanks for your kindness.
The local manager Lynda was very friendly. Definitely would like to return again.
Had a great time in Whanga staying here. Close to town and the beach. It is an awesome kiwi bach and we appreciated having air con and a dishwasher that we hadn’t had at other old bach’s we had rented before. We’d definitely rent this one again.
