About the host
Hosted by dontt209
Retired farming couple who have lived in the Whangarei district most of their married life. This was a family bach, which was demolished and todays bach was built in 2000.
Why they chose this property
Private, comfortable, easy indoor / outdoor flow. It's all there for a great holiday!!
What makes this property unique
Up a right-of way so private with a safe playing area for children due to very little traffic movement. Plenty of space for you to bring a boat. Only 100m to safe swimming beach and boat launching. Children's play ground next to the beach. Lovely peaceful view overlooking the harbour. You will hear lots of bird life. Very picturesque walking tracks close by, Mt Mania and Mt Aubrey are in Mcleods bay. Only a few kms to Ocean Beach which is a surf beach.
