About this property

Just a short stroll to the water or into town

For the weekend getaway you can't beat this little bach which has just been renovated and comes with all you might need for just a couple of nights, or a week long stay!

Our bach is privately owned and the comforts of your own home have been replicated here.

On your arrival just be prepared to just relaxing as everything will be taken care of for you. This bach is all inclusive with linen, towels and extra bedding if you wanted a couple of extras on futons in the living area.

A short stroll to the closest beach of only 150 meters and a walk over the hill to the town of Paihia and ferry crossing to Russell.

The bach has an outdoor area (decking) and grassed area (that over time will be landscaped). There is also car parking.

No need to pack ample of clothing for the extra long stays as there is a washing machine within the bach. For those rainy days, indulge in a wide range of dvds available for your use.
Special conditions:
Some pets accepted. Message for further details and information.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$65.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Everything we needed (and more) was there. Was such a cute little cottage. Thank you for all the extra goodies that made our stay so good. Loved the outside area, especially the outside shower.Only one little recommendation being better fans, the ones in the unit were not effective as it was so hot while we were there.

The holiday house was in a great spot for exploring the Bay of Islands. It was quiet, well set up and clean. I loved the deck at the back. I'd definitely recommend staying here.

We had everything we needed for our stay. The bach is well equipped with a fun beach vibe. It is around the corner from a beach on a quiet street and close enough to walk into town. We walked down to the beach to watch the sun come up. Would highly recommend.

We couldn’t have picked a better batch! Nik was the best. It had everything we needed. The back deck beamed with morning sun and a beautiful garden. My wife and I noticed how quiet the neighborhood was and the inside was so nicely laid out, well kept and warming. We intend to return to Paihia and this will be the first place we will hope to book.

What a quirky little bach in a great location. We had everything we needed. The interior and exterior decor is great - especially the disco tiki in the kitchen. Unfortunately we couldn't leave a written message, thanking the owners for sharing the bach with us, as we had no pen.

Amazing little bach, thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The place is exactly as in the photos, clean, full of personality and has all amenities we could’ve hoped for such as a toaster and oven (although we didn’t get to use the latter). Fantastic outdoor area and the beach is only 1-2 minutes away. Town centre is a 20-25 minute walk. Thank you for the lovely stay!!

Great stay in a little bay

A cute cottage,It is packed alongside similar cottages, so while you have a standard high fence it does leave some privacy to be desired. House was spotless with everything we needed. Great place would go again
