About this property

The Yellow Bach on Campbells Beach; kayaks wifi sky sport Netflix sleeps 4

Welcome to the Yellow Bach!

Four people can enjoy a sandy, safe and tidal beach just 80 metres across the grass. Front row position. Lovely sea and summer sunset views from the dining table. Seaside children's playground is close by.
There are some really nice and safe paddles within the bay, up two mangrove creeks as well as around the coast.

A little under an hour north of Auckland, Campbells makes for a great escape place.
By car, Matakana is 7 minutes, Tawharanui Regional Park and Sandspit both 15 minutes and Warkworth supermarket 20 minutes.

Campbells Beach is a hotspot for birdlife. Listen to the kaka, bellbirds and tuis in the day time, kookaburras (true) at dawn and dusk and an owl at night.

one of the best
The 4pm check in/out is brilliant, no rush to arrive or depart. Nights are wonderfully starry and silent, very restful. We loved the beautiful bay view with sunsets. PS, turning on oven was challenging even with the highlighting in the stove manual. I think we had to adjust clock as well. Anyway, we got it working in the end.

The Yellow Bach - Well Recommend
An ideal location for a quiet getaway. Perfectly clean and well looked after. Well equipped with beautiful views I cannot recommend this home and location enough. Just a simple 80 minute ride from Auckland; it's easy to get to and remote enough to feel like you are away from the rush of everyday life. Matakanna, the closest village is about a 10 minute drive with some good local amenities. The property owner was a delight to work with and were flexible when I wanted to check-in early. Overall very pleased. This was my first trip to both New Zealand and The Yellow Bach. And I will come back again, to both, but with my wife, the next time.

Lovely little house to stay in, perfect for my sister & I. Would happily stay again. Bed super comfy, loved sitting in bed looking at the water. The only problem we had was we could not get the hobs to work! probably something silly we were doing, but the microwave worked so all good. Stunning outlook. Really nice place and would happily go again. Thank you for sharing with us.

About the host

Hosted by David Pooch

Host profile image
We live on the North Shore and have five adult children and eight grand children. We have had enormous fun over the years at the bach with the kayaks, fishing, lawn cricket and so on.

Why they chose this property

We bought this place because it was right on the water, level for grand children to play and only an hour from home. We also like the fact that there is lots of bird life there. Tui, wood pigeon, oyster catchers, grey heron, owl and even kookaburra (true, they migrated from Kawau and you can hear them early morning and in the evening). We often hear kaka flying overhead too.

What makes this property unique

Just one hour from Auckand, quiet, on the beach, and a hotspot for bird life. 7 minutes drive to Matakana. Newly renovated, excelllent kitchen and dishwasher, cosy and warm. Children's playground very close by.
