Cute As Can Be, By The Sea
Iconic kiwi bach at the beach. Well kitted out. Perfect getaway summer or winter. Two double/queen beds in the partitioned loft, one double pull out sofabed in the lounge. Spacious open plan living downstairs, opening onto flat lawn with outdoor table and chairs and beach hut bar. Conveniently located across the road from the beach and boat ramp. There are two kayaks available for your use. Plenty of walks, islands and boating galore.

Please bring your own sheets and towels. For overseas travelers we can provide linen at a cost by prior arrangement, all other linen and bedding requirements are provided.
If you are bringing your furbaby please check the TCDC website for seasonal dog rules on the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Liz Keene
We have been staying in this little bach for 26 years, winter and summer. Travelling down from Auckland most weekends. Because it's worth it!
Why they chose this property
It's a fabulous place to get away from the rat race. You forget the real world exists out there with all it's problems and stresses. We have now built a second dwelling on the property and are 'livin' the dream' permanently. This is why the little bach has become available for you to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
It is completely self contained on the rear of the section, with it's own beach hut bar for your afternoon happy hour. Directly over the back fence is a Council trailer park where you can park your boat and any extra cars.
