About this property

Wintle93 - Sunny, pet-friendly kiwi bach with stunning views, walk to the estuary and surf beach

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
This kiwi bach is great for family groups and small groups of mature adults.
Stunning views await you from the living areas and sunny deck of this iconic kiwi bach. There are 2 separate self-contained units on two separate levels meeting the holiday needs for the extended family or use only upstairs for a smaller family. Each level has extensive views of the estuary, dunes beyond.
The upper level has open plan living, dining full kitchen as well as a bathroom and two bedrooms. There are decks both front rear with the front deck having spectacular views and the rear deck BBQ outdoor eating facilities.
The lower level includes another lounge, bedroom, second shower toilet with limited cooking facilities and a washing machine/dryer. There are additional double over-nighters for extra beds in the lounge on each level.
A short level walk to the surf beach avoids any parking issues during busy periods. While for the more active its an easy stroll through the camping areas along the estuary to the shops.
There is also now a Nespresso machine, BYO pods
Notes:
1. If you would like to bring your pet, please check with us first and please be aware that the property is not fully fenced.
2. If you have a low vehicle the angle from the driveway to the road may cause the underneath of the bumper to scrape as you enter or exit the drive. Please contact us if you need further information in regard to this.
3. There is no internal access between the 2 levels.
4. The upstairs deck is not suitable for young children as it was built before current building compliance codes for decks.
LINEN: Please note that other than pillows, duvets and duvet covers, linen is not included in the tariffs but can be rented for $25 per person, further details are provided in the 'Rooms and beds' section of the listing. If you wish to add linen, please add a note to your booking with what beds you wish to use so they can be made up. We have linen as an optional extra to make a more affordable holiday for those who wish to bring their own.
BOOKING PAYMENT: Although Bookabach/VRBO take your credit card details, all booking payments are made to Bach Stay NZ Limited who manage this property for the owners. Once your booking is approved, we will send you a payment email with a choice of credit card payment (a 3% surcharge applies) or bank transfer (no charges). Please note the amount stated as 'Deposit Paid at Property' on the Bookabach/VRBO quote is actually a refundable bond that will be collected as part of the accommodation payment, it is not collected at the property as the wording suggests.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and both times have really enjoyed our stay here. It is very suitable for us and I will certainly be booking this bach again. Just wondering if you would be able to hook up the TV downstairs - Sky do multi rooms for a small extra fee per month. This is the only fault with this property, otherwise it is perfect. Thank you.

The house was comfy and as described wonderful views from the deck and lounge!! We were very relaxed and so happy our dog was able to come too. Location was excellent. The only downside was the driveway -bit steep and needed to turn in from the right so as not to scrape especially with busy road !! A pleasing stay though thanks.

Views are the best...but
The Pros : 1. Classic Kiwi bach with excellent views 2. Great location; very close to the beach, reserve and not far from the town centre. 3. Has all the basic amenities and choice of indoor entertainment for a holiday eg: books, board games, TV The CONS 1. Mice in upper level. Seen several times walking around on the benches and also nibbled on food stored in carton (left on kitchen benchtop). 2. Lower level musty and smelling of mould, including supplied linen. The area needs to be ventilated. 3. Water definitely not good/potable. 6 of 7 of us went down with bad stomachs. 4. House not at all pet friendly. To be so it would need to be fenced. Plus it slopes right onto to a blind corner in the road. 5. Lawns not mowed and overgrown each side of the drive - grass about 400mm high. 6. Staircase on the outiside. Must go outside to go between lower and upper levels. 7. Upper level deck balustrade not compliant. No small children/toddlers should be allowed on the deck. Danger of falling between the balustrades is very high. An accident waiting to occur. 8. Sharp change of levels at drive - road junction. Car grounds every time.

A great stay with pets
The property owners have thought of absolutely everything! We had five adults and two dogs on our stay. Upstairs has amazing views and a covered deck area where pets can be contained. Downstairs has pet-friendly tile floors. All the beds were really comfy, a great location with lots of space for a family group.

Best view in Mangawhai for sure!
The property, although not very modern has a stunning outlook. The outdoor entertaining areas provide sunshine and privacy or incredible views. The kitchen is well equipped and living area looks out to the stunning estuary and ocean. Great to holiday with dogs, though not fully fenced. It would be good if there was a gate across the stairs- especially with having dogs. The access and proximity to numerous beach and hill walks made this an excellent location. The downstairs flat had plenty of room and basic cooking facilities for our needs. This is a great place for two families or individuals as we were to stay.

Excellent views from top level
We all enjoyed our stay in Wintle 93 with great summer weather for the whole four days. Location was perfect for both surf beach and estuary. Views from main bedroom and lounge and, of course, the verandah were great. Inside very clean but a few cobwebs on outside. Room layout very good for a mixed family - Nan and Pa stayed downstairs and were able to get an early morning cup of tea from the kitchenette down there. Mum, dad and the two boys (12 and 16) slept upstairs. It was easy for us to join them by the external stairs but not so good had it been raining.

Peaceful and Picturesque
This rustic bach had everything we needed. A good kitchen, strong shower, comfortable bed and great view. The position is excellent with an easy walk, both to the surf beach and estuary.Dave the manager was, friendly flexible and helpful. The only down sides were that in mid winter the property itself receives limited sun and the drive is quite steep.
