About this property

KIWIANA BACH

Our Bach is nestled in the sand dunes and has unimpeded views to Mt Mania, Whangarei Heads, Hen and Chicken Islands and beyond. Enjoy the secluded sand dune aspect with Pohutukawa trees for shade and privacy.

Cook on the well-equipped BBQ or in the kitchen, dine indoors or out, its perfect summer or winter. Use the covered verandah to stay out of the sun or rain, we've thought of everything so that you don't have to.

If you love beach walks, playing in the sand or swimming in the surf the white sandy surf beach is only a 2-minute walk away. If fishing is your thing there is a new marina boat ramp at One Tree Point (a 5-minute drive) or book a fishing charter with our neighbour. For shoppers there's local markets and bargains in the surrounding towns of Waipu and Whangarei. And there's a dairy or supermarket for your day to day needs just minutes away.

The property is big enough for all of your needs, bring the boat, tent and your dog for a complete family holiday. BOOK EARLY TO SECURE YOUR DATES!
Special conditions:
Long weekends three night stay minimum. Larger groups by negotiation.
The peak summer period, Christmas to Auckland anniversary weekend has a minimum rental period of 7 nights, Saturday to Saturday.

NOTE: 4-night stay minimum over the EASTER period.

peace and quiet with a beautiful view
A great 3 day stay with a group of old friends. The Kiwiana Bach was perfect, with 2 toilets and easy access bathroom. We are older couples and enjoyed the quiet area with beautiful view of Bream Head and Manaia. Maxine communicated well and we felt very welcomed, we will definitely be back.

Relaxing kiwi Bach beside the dunes with awesome views
Perfect spot to relax and recharge. Loved the kiwi Bach vibe and decor. Has everything you need, in a great central location. Loved the beach walks with the dogs, enjoyed the surf, the local beach cafe or the French Kitchen coffee cart for some great coffee/ breakfast. A short drive to Waipu village for dinner out at McClouds or a spot of browsing at the Black shed. We enjoyed evening bbqs by candlelight on the deck, rigged up with some warm blankets under the stars. A perfect little getaway - we will def be back. Thanks Maxine and Ruakaka.
