About this property

Okiwi Bay beach front bach

Fully furnished iconic kiwi bach. Perfect location with beach right across the road. Great for children. Only one hour’s drive from Nelson and Blenheim, Okiwi Bay is an idyllic spot to get away from it all, with some of the best fishing in the region right on your doorstep. If fishing's not your thing these are plenty of other activities to do in the bay including, swimming, bush walks, kayaking, a children's playground or just relaxing. Large flat section with plenty of room for boats and vehicles.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only
No TV reception but two DVD players and TV's for movie watching
Ceramic tower heater in lounge and econo panel heaters in bedroom 2.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

The location sells you on this place. Big front yard, some shady areas on the edges to sit in at midday, and a great view of the bay. We had a great weekend. Would stay there again.

Amazing location, we managed to get an amazing home to stay in that we loved. It had everything you needed including a meat thermometer that we desperately needed for our tomahawk steaks. The hosts were very helpful and friendly AAA +++ Regards, Fordy & Family

Classic kiwi bach

It was like stepping through a time portal in the best way. Cute and cozy, and a stones throw from the boat ramp, ideal.

A kiwi bach from the 70s

Great location for this kiwi bach from the 70s. Don't expect anything modern as it is not in this bach. Does have a great fridge freezer.

Such a great location opposite the water and close to boat ramp. We loved our stay here and was perfect for our family. Be aware, this is a very very dated kiwi Bach.
