About this property

A Kiwi Classic - beautiful bach in Whangateau

Conveniently situated on the road heading from the Matakana township to Leigh, this classic kiwi bach is perfect for family holiday accommodation, overseas guest accommodation, special occasions, weekday retreats and weekend getaways for up to 12 people. The beach is just a few steps over the road. Your friends and family can also book the bach right next door listed as 'Great Spot by the estuary in Whangateau' which hosts 9 people.

Located just one hour north of Auckland City, the bach has three bedrooms, one bathroom, separate toilet, laundry, open plan living/kitchen/dining and some great outdoor living areas including a front porch that spills out onto the front lawn and a back yard with a large new deck that backs onto an estuary. The estuary flows under a small bridge through to Whangateau Harbour across the road which can be accessed by kayak (There is two kayaks and a double kayak available for use in the garage! Amongst other things including a paddleboard, life jackets, barbeque etc.)

Bedroom first bedroom has a queen size bed plus a single bed plus a spare mattresses which can go on the floor. The main bedroom has a queen bed. The third bedroom has double bed.
The sleep out can sleep 4 comfortably and has a new queen bed and a queen futon fold down couch bed.

Wedding Weekend
I booked both of Ross' properties to accomodate me, my fiance, our kids and our bridal party and it was one of the best decisons i made! The houses were awesome and there was so much space! The convenience was unmatched and everyone else agreed. Both houses gave us the feeling of home away from home and we all had a blast. Thank you so much! Would definitely love to stay again.

New Year Stay
Hi there, Overall our stay was good, we did enjoy ourselves. The location is beautiful! However I do want to mention a couple of things. The house wasn’t very clean. The rubbish situation wasn’t the best, the recycling bin was full so we had an allocated area on the deck where our recycling was put. We didn’t know what to do with the general rubbish and we didn’t get any information on what to do with it, eg put it on the road? Take it with us? In the front room there was only one power point in the room. The bed was very uncomfortable. When using the shower, the water would go hot and cold. We had issues with the washing machine, it kept coming up with an alert ‘SP’, but we did get it working in the end. Thank you, Kelsey Garrick

A step back in time
Nothing flash here. No air con and we stayed over a very muggy period. Owner very responsive and easy to deal with though and supplied a couple of fans immediately. Kayak access to estuary would've been difficult via back yard due to mangroves. This is indicated in manual. We didn't attempt it but we could've put them in over the road in the estuary, a couple of houses over where there is a small, very pretty beach. Great they supply kayaks for use. The house suited us for the number of beds available and allowing a dog. Location good for walks on Omaha Beach in the mornings and exploring Goat Island. Local fish and chip shop is up the road in Leigh. Great comms and very helpful owner.

Handy location and cosy bach
Our group (two families) had a great weekend away, despite the weather. The location was great for Goat Island and Matakana - so much to do in the area. And the bach was peaceful and comfortably accommodated our group of 7.

Perfect house for a big group!
This beautiful home provided our group with everything we needed to celebrate a friends wedding in Leigh - great place to rest, watch the league, yarn and pre-load before our event and de-brief over a cuppa when we retreated back to the house.

About the host

Hosted by thebach398

Host profile image
Kia ora, Our names are Anna and Ross Davis and we are originally from Auckland and have lived many years in Wellington. We are part of a large Māori, Pākehā and Moana Pacific families.

Why they chose this property

We bought the bach as we love sailing and mucking around on the water in small boats. We hope the kids love climbing one of the regions most beautiful pohutukawa trees, paddle boarding at high tide and even at low tide we love the long walks across the harbour. Bring old shoes or sandals.

What makes this property unique

Recently renovated, perfect private and shared spaces inside and out for enjoyment and hosting.
