FABULOUS BACH STAY BESIDE THE BEACH AT OCEANS.
Our family fitted nicely into this one-bedroom, spacious lounge upstairs with bathroom and the ensuite and 1 bedroom below in the garage plus a sleep out across the yard. I always pack the kitchen sink whenever our family travels, a pleasant surprise. The Bach was well stocked with anything you would need on holiday, a home away from home. AAA rating we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, a big thanks also for the gift inside the fridge on our arrival :).

Back for more and still love it
This is our second time staying at this property and we once again loved it. We love Ocean Beach at Whangarei heads and this bach puts you close to the beach. It is only a few minutes walk along a private right away to have you on the beach. This bach comes very well equipped compared to others we have stayed in with a great selection of cookware in the kitchen but there are also games, books, sun lounges, outdoor fire and pizza oven and so much more. This was a great place for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary alone but then had our 3 adult kids join us along with two grandchildren 3 and under ( there are games, books and toys for kids). We thoroughly recommend this property but do read the description carefully as the layout is something to be aware of. In the upper level is the kitchen and living areas with a side master bedroom area ( not enclosed) which now has a bathroom and toilet ensuite. There are twp pull out bed sofas in the living area. Downstairs which can only be accessed by an external staircase is another bedroom with a queen bed a full bathroom and the garage/rumpus room. There is also another separate sleep out with a double single bunk. We will be back again.

Great kiwi beach holiday
We loved this bach - modern, clean, well stocked - we felt very at home. Glad to get some sunshine so we could enjoy the awesome big deck, and enjoyed using the fireplace one night and toasting marshmallows! Easy beach access through the back of the property too. Thanks for having us.

Such a great spot with the beach in walking distance. We had two little kiddos with us as well and there were tons of toys and games to play with, and a bunk bed. Great outside area and everything felt comfortable and easy. Would highly recommend this stay and would definitely come back. Thanks!

Such a lovely, extremely accommodating host! Very clean house and sleepout and a great place to hang out with friends and family. Plus, a really quick walk to an incredible beach. And loads of games if it's not a beach day!

Good, prompt communications with kind and generous owner. Beautiful setting, close to beach, just as pictured, we enjoyed our brief stay very much. Sadly, we had to cut our stay short, due to an impending major weather event (Cyclone Gabrielle) so we could journey home safely. Perhaps one day, we'll be fortunate enough to visit again.

Perfect loacation for a beach weekend
Property was perfect for a relaxed weekend away with mates. Was clean, tidy and as advertised with the exception of one bathroom that had a shower under renovation which we didn't know about. Did not effect our enjoyment of our stay though! Cheers Mason

The bach is a short walk from a superb ocean beach. It did rain solidly for 2 days, where it would have been nice to have an indoor table to sit at. Overall we enjoyed our stay, thanks Mason

Absolutely Stunning
This place was amazing, it's a 5-minute walk to a beautiful beach. The pizza oven and outdoor open fire are fabulous to relax by at the end of exploring the area for the day. The rooms/beds are comfortable and the place is super warm. There were plenty of toys for our 3-year-old to play with, and games and puzzles for the adults. We didn't want to leave and would love to return again.
