About this property

Waitarere Beach Escape

Located on Waitarere Beach Main Road.

Our Escape is for all, surrounded by the local forest, great for families and couples to get away. A linear built house, with a renovated deck into a large open area, village shop's and park are within walking distance with a bottle store directly opposite the driveway.

There is a great backyard for kids to run around on or just for basking in the sun. The local campgrounds are very close by if you have friends or family holidaying also.

The Waitarere Domain is a 3-minute walk from the bach which features a couple of small playgrounds, a half pipe, and toilets. There are also a couple of barbeques which are free to use at your leisure

On your way to the beach which is less than 10 minutes walk away, There is a little cafe and gift store right next to the Foursquare which by the way has the best Pies around!

The beach has a fabulous restaurant at its entrance but if you're just feeling some good old fish and chips along with the restaurant there is another fish and chip shop about 150 metres from the bach doorstep.

Levin is our closest town, a 10-minute drive away where there are many food joints to choose from as well as 3 supermarkets, The Warehouse, Farmers and many other shops where you will find everything you need.

For families, there is also Levin's famous Adventure Playground which has a great coffee shop for the adults while the kids tire themselves out on the very large park playground before heading back to the beach house which keeps cool in the summer but heats very quickly from the fireplace during the cold season. We also have two electric heaters available.

Our little bach is perfect for your next quiet getaway with a loved one, family or friends.we
have a high chair for use if needed.

Everyone at the beach is absolutely lovely, welcoming and always willing to help or just stop for a chat!

We LOVE Waitarere and know you will too.

Extras: Linen (included); Kayak x 2 (included); Pool Table (included); BBQ (included)

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave. NO LARGE PARTIES

There is a high chair and porracot available

Being able to have the dog with us was worth everything. House was lovely, easy to see families being able to enjoy summer holidays there. We were a weekend stay only, a show to attend, but we loved the surrounding area - so much so that we browsed houses and land for sale there.

The house was clean and tidy and felt very homely. However, the lawns were extremely long which meant the kid’s had nowhere to play outside. Mentioned the ‘jungle’ to the owners whom said the previous guests had informed them of the same thing and that they will contact their lawn mowing person. To this day 1/11/22 the lawns still haven’t been mowed.

Excellent home away from home! AAA+ will be booking in the future!
Quick and easy process from booking to check out! Owner Teresa was awesome! great communication throughout the whole process! House had everything listed right down to council rubbish bags for collection which made our stay easy! House was Nice and clean! Such a homely feel to it! We loved relaxing on the huge deck and the kids had fun on the pool table and huge backyard! Fantastic location down the rd from the beach and middle earth play ground! Family members had rented other homes in Waitarere Beach while we were there for a 21st celebration however for the price they paid they were not completely happy. I believe the price we paid for this house and what was available to use in the house was exceptional! We will definitely be booking this house when we return to Nz again! Thank you Teresa and Kerry!

Very relaxing break in a great location
Fabulous spot for a break away - especially good to be able to take the dog - thanks! Super close to the forest walks - we had a great time discovering these, close to the beach and all the ammenities. Although we are a couple this would also be a perfect holiday house for a family. Sunsets at the beach are breathtaking!

King’s birthday break
We had a great time over the long weekend. We had a small issue with the fireplace on the day we arrived however this was sorted by Kerry and Theresa the next day. Kids enjoyed the games and having the pool and table tennis in the garage. House had everything we needed and was great to come back to after exploring the beach and adventure playground in the forest!

Very happy guests
The property was perfect for our group of 4 adults, two kids (5 and 2) and a greyhound. The location was perfect for the Waitarere Forest Run and we were really happy with our stay. No complaints at all.

Great property and great price
Really enjoyed our short stay here. The property was the perfect size for a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids). Nice distance from the beach 7 min walk or 60 second drive with all the kids/boogie boards/fishing rods. The property is well kept, clean, and very comfortable. Email comms from the property manager were clear and timely and we didnt need to follow up at all as the info we needed was all there. We would definatley stay again.
