"“ Full refund offered for cancellations due to covid travel restriction”
This character filled, much loved family Bach is perfectly positioned for those looking for a fabulous holiday or just a change of pace. Great access to a variety of outstanding beaches on the coast whether by car, cycling, walking or even cross the road for a daily swim or paddle in a kayack. The section is large, flat and fully fenced so ideal for children and pets. The original Bach is compact but has provided a wonderful space for a family of 6 for many years . With spacious, sunny entertaining decks both front and back giving you options depending if you want to relax and watch the world go by with a glass of wine or desire some quiet time . There are views of the estuary from most rooms and the sunroom is a great reading space or as an extra bedroom as it has a couch which can fold out to a bed. There is a relaxed open plan lounge and kitchen. The central bathroom has a good sized shower plus a separate toilet. There is also an older useable toilet outside but does not have hot water. Light and bright throughout, tidy and well presented with a real holiday feel. There are no real modern conveniences but has everything you need. We hope you will love it as much as we do!
Special conditions: There is the option for extra sleeping arrangements but please call or email to discuss. Ideally sleeps 4-5 adults. There is another Bach ( new build) at the back of the property which is not used if people are staying in the original front Bach, but the area around it can be enjoyed by guests.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$90.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Thanks for staying Sacha, we love it there and hope you had some reasonable weather.
We loved everything about this perfect kiwi bach. The view was gorgeous. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. We felt incredibly lucky to have shared what is obviously a much loved family bach. We can’t wait to return.
Loved our stay in Sue’s place! Very relaxing and awesome view. Even our dog Toby loved the fully fenced property:) thanks Sue for the prompt communication. We will definitely be back 😍

Thanks so much Kylee, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay🙂
Perfect location for exploring the beautiful Tutukaka coast! Bach is well appointed with everything you need and is conveniently located between a cafe and the local dairy/fish & chip shop. Across the road from the beach and just s short drive from other beautiful beaches in the region. The garden is perfect for a summer getaway with lots of sunny spots to relax in.
A quintessential kiwi batch right next to the estuary and all the amenities Ngunguru has to offer. Plenty of room off the road to park our two boats. Will probably book again.
Right in the heart of Ngunguru you can’t go wrong with this property. Perfectly allocated for families and location fabulous. Plenty of space to find a quiet spot or chase the sun. Would highly recommend.
We had a fantastic Saturday in this great little old-school style bach. It’s got everything you need to launch your Tutukaka Coast adventures. Great comms and really easy to deal with. We loved our stay and will definitely recommend.
Awesome bach in Ngunguru near to all amenities. It had everything you need. Fully fenced which was awesome for our dog and we didnt have to worry about him. Such a lovely spot. Beautiful views looking out to the estuary and sandspit. Thoroughly relaxing.

So pleased you had a nice time Veronica, weather has been playing up a bit unfortunately. Thanks for leaving the Bach so clean and tidy. Great place for kids and plenty of decks for adults to hide on!
We all loved this cosy house. The weather didn’t always co-operate so the homely and comforting feel was the perfect fit.
The set up was excellent - great beds and the perfect location.
The only issue was the fluctuation of the wifi. Even so, we would happily stay here again.

Hi Rahera, thanks for your feedback and pleased you had a nice time. We have just arrived at the Bach and it looks like someone at some stage disconnected the google wi fi in the main bedroom and moved the cord to the front room where it was plugged into the wall probably to use as a charger. This would explain why the internet was erratic as running off one booster only.
Working well now.
We have stayed before and were happy to stay again. Everything we needed is there. We had some issues with the smart TV buffering/having internet problems which was a little disappointing, but location is great. The house has a café next door on one side and only a couple of steps on the other side to the dairy and two takeaway/dining options, while being straight across the road from the inlet.
Loved this property! Photos actually don't do it justice. Loved sitting in the front room having a hot cup of coffee looking at the water - awesome views. Great location in Ngunguru between cafe and diary - close to Tutukaka Coast and other gorgeous bays! Awesome views of the Ngunguru River across the road from the bach. We took our jet-skis with us - property had plenty of room for parking.
Loved that we could take our dogs to this location too.
House had all the required items.
Actually no recommendations for improvement - LOVE THIS HOME!!

Thank you so much for your kind review Kerry. Pleased you enjoyed your stay🙂
Wonderful holiday in a great spot. Owner was very welcoming with great communication and everything we needed right there. Would love to stay there again. Thank you so much.
Fantastic spot right next door to the cafe and two doors down to the dairy and fish and chip shop. Plenty of heating for mid winter and a great central location looking over the road to the estuary. As a bonus this is dog friendly. Will definitely be back some day soon.

What makes this property unique
Restaurants and cafes just steps away. Short drive to nearby Tutukaka for diving and scenic trips. Ideal for those who love to cycle and there is a new skateboard ramp just a short walk away.
