About this property

Beach Front Bach Beauty

This great kiwiana bach is on the only street at Blachead Beach, 1 of 7 beach front bachs. From the deck enjoy uninterrupted views of the beach. Just step of the deck, walk onto the large front lawn, out through the sand dunes and onto the beach. A gorgeous sweeping beach which includes the Te Angiangi Marine reserve and shoal bay is only a 20 minute stroll up the beach. Blackhead beach offers diving, fishing and surfing with a great right hand point break, that works well on a south easterly swell.

The bach is set up for the classic Kiwi beach holiday. There is a wing with 3 bedrooms and a toilet/laundry that open up onto the deck area plus inside the bach is 2 more bedrooms, a shower and seperate toilet and backdoor/storage area. The open plan living space has a large dining table and a comfy sitting area and a kitchen with a view to die for. The living area also opens up onto the deck, making the house an L shape that all leads out onto a very large deck space. The back area of the bach has a concrete paved area & Pergola, with a comfy seating area & outdoor dinning table, perfect for catching the lovely evening sun. The front lawn area is a fabulous large flat space to play family cricket, badminton or whatever you enjoy!

Blackhead itself is a very safe beach and street, with children playing happily, riding their bikes, scooter etc and hanging out in the sand dunes (visible from the bach deck!)

Just down the country gravel road (25km) is Porangahau village which boasts a country pub with great food, a local diary for basic supplies and also a good hang out for the sports person with a river to water ski on, a golf course and public tennis courts.

Note: There is now mobile phone access at the beach & wifi.

Extras: Cleaning Fee
(NZ$70.00 per stay)

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

This is the second time we have stayed as a family, and we have had the most amazing time! The location is amazing and we absolutely love the classic kiwi batch vibe at the house. Communication with the owns was so easy. We cannot fault this place and will hopefully be back again next year.

Relaxing Mini Break
We had a lovely relaxing time. So peaceful being that close to the sea in such a perfect NZ bach. We were all comfortable and we loved the rooms off the deck, especially in the morning. Thanks Ginny.

Fantastic New Year trip
Lovely house in a brilliant location. Had all the necessaries in the kitchen (could do with a bread knife though!), and had two fridges and a freezer so plenty of space for food. Only one indoor shower (plus one outside which was good for showering after a day at the beach) so thought we’d struggle but even though there were 8 of us, we managed fine. Deck was a great spot to chill. Cell phone coverage but no wifi so kids had to hotspot to watch a movie but nice to be forced off the gadgets. Would happily book again

Great setup for a family
We loved our stay! Good options for seating for a large family group. 2 toilets was great. The favourite spot was the seating area at the back in the sunshine. There are a good amount of bedrooms. The only negative was the amount of flies. Take some flyspray we couldn’t find any in the house. And it is a kiwi batch so we found the people before hadn’t washed the dishes very well. But overall it’s a fantastic spot and great place to chill by the beach.

Rainy hibernation
It was a very wet weekend, but despite the weather it was a super cosy spot to stay! Plenty of room for a young family and dog, everything we needed and nothing short of comforts. 200m from the beach with sprawling beach line and rock pools at low tide - great location! Would love to visit again on a warm weekend! Ginny was a great communicator, everything was easy and straight forward, making for a lovely weekend away!

Blackhead
Just as stated on information page. Great location for a summer holiday. I was thankful that I had read reviews as we took 2 extra heaters. Outside rooms needed this.Shower / toilet area is only just adequate as door doesn’t lock. Necessary for large crowd I feel. Very grateful that we could take the dog.

Beautiful rural beach bach
This classic bach is almost on the waters edge, you can hear the waves crashing and smell the salty air. It's a beautiful spot to chill out away from the city and reconnect with yourself and nature.

Beautiful Blackhead
My family chose this wonderful Bach to meet and share in a celebration for Christmas. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and with 5 separate bedrooms all nicely decorated, we were well catered for. Everything is there to make it easy &fun (games books magazines etc )and the indoor outdoor flow from all the rooms is really super. A huge well mown lawn for outdoor games, a large deck and wonderful big table for our mealtimes, were the standouts. One minute down a mown path to the beautiful Blackhead beach too. I certainly recommend this fabulous place for a big crew or even a couple.
