Lovely location

Lovely location. Lovely large kitchen, lounge and shower room. The room with the bunk beds could do with floor length black out curtains to keep in the heat and create privacy. Would be good to have heaters for each bedroom too.

Bach by the ocean

Loved being able to see the ocean beach views from the dinning room and lounge. Owner was very accommodating when we needed to extend our stay. Bring your own linen and towels.

Home away from home

We had absolutely fantastic stay! Everything was fabulous. From the moment we arrived we felt like home, house is cozy, clean, comfy and honestly all you need for great holiday and more. Everything was there, lots of toys and games for kids, beach across the road, town just a short drive 5 min or beautiful beach walk away. Would recommend in a heart beat and in the future that would be a place to go if I would plan another get away in coromandel.

Good location but ….

No light working over bathroom vanity, sand in and on bed. Low HW pressure in shower. Quite cold too in Bach. However happy with location. Listing said linen supplied but had to take our own.

Great location, not clean

Location is great, however it was unreasonably clean. There were bugs in the kitchen, thick grime on the handles and the fridge was really dirty. We decided we weren’t comfortable eating or showering there. There was hair all on the shower drain and a fair amount of spiders through the house. The bunk beds had a big dip in the middle so very very uncomfortable. Easy check in and awesome location so it could be a great place to stay with some tlc.

Beach Bach

Cute little bach with everything we needed although wasnt keen on where kids bunk was at. No internet which was good and bad, since it rained while we were there would of been nice to kick back and watch netflix but then was a good break being off technology. Thank you to the host for easy and fast communication.

About the host

Hosted by BobL4859

Host profile image
This is a family Bach, we live in Auckland but regularly visit the lovely Whitianga. We have a love for mid century design and architecture hence we have retained some of the original 1970's charms of the house. Our neighbours are lovely and have been known to give guests fresh fish from the sea and veggies from their garden.

Why they chose this property

Amazing beach location, a small 50m walk over the road. Gorgeous sunrise views especially in winter. Bonus if you love a little mid century design as the house has retained some of its original 1970's charms during a recent renovation.
