About this property
Gorgeous Character Bach
Built by two brothers in 1924 and lovingly restored by the present owners, this bach boasts charisma and character. Located on a private section, sheltering right behind the sea wall and within minutes of the amazing Pancake rocks and the stunning Paparoa National Park, this bach enjoys an ideal location. Tasfefully decorated with plenty of iconic Kiwiana, this is the ultimate Kiwi holiday experience. Recently renovated it doesn't lack modern day comforts while maintaining an air of history, you will feel right at home. An abundance of activities such as kayaking, surfing, swimming, horse trekking and stand up paddle boarding await only a few minutes walk away.
