About this property

Stunning Little Harbourfront Bach - Great Views!!

This modern family bach is ideally positioned to take advantage of everything the historic Whangarei Heads area has to offer - swimming in the Harbour or Pacific Ocean; fishing from boat or shore; any number of wonderful walks and longer tramps right from the gate, and handy for local cafes and shops.

Set on over an acre of land, the family-friendly Bach offers plenty of parking for cars and boats; a huge deck to enjoy the sun and views; and space and privacy to really relax away from the stress of the modern lifestyle. Great outdoor shower for after a swim!

The main bedroom offers a double bed, the second has two bunks. Hot water is gas heated ; the kitchen includes a dishwasher, stove etc, or you can cook and entertain out on the deck with the gas barbeque. Freeview TV and a DVD collection are also available. Wifi.

The Pukeko Pad is ideal for a weekend away for a couple, or bring the kids for a great relaxing holiday at the beach for the family.

Please note - the Bach is small and only suitable for a couple or a couple with small children.
The Bach gets a bit cold in winter please make sure you bring enough bedding.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the bach and do the dishes before you leave, please leave it as you would expect to find it; Bring your own linen (Towels/Bedding etc) There is a washing machine, cleaning products, bin bags, vacuum etc for you to use. This helps us keep the costs down for you with no cleaning fees.

Overpriced and underwhelming.
We stayed for three nights and this property was not cheap, we got: - one roll of toilet paper - no hot water until we worked out how to change the gas bottle - a very uncomfortable mattress - no linen (not even a bath mat) - a property that supposedly didn't have wifi (it did, they just don't give guests the code) - the expectation for us to clean the property and remove our own rubbish. And on our final day a tractor turned up at 8.30 in the morning to mow the grass without warning. The view was amazing though.

Working Holiday
Sent two workers up to Whangarei for a few days this accomodation was available just outside, was sent video of them fishing at the beach after work having a great time and sunset pictures over the harbour from the deck. They thought the property was great!!

Beautiful view, and phone box on site!
My kids particulary loved the phone box as one of them is a Dr Who enthusiast. Bach had everything we needed, though the trampoline has been removed since the photos for the listing were taken. View was lovely. We got a bit stressed out at the check-in because the padlock didn't seem to work for the gate so it would be good to note that the numbers need to align at the top, not in the middle (unlike the lock for the key where they align in the middle). Communication from Jeremy was very friendly and helpful.

Gorgeous, low maintenance bach perfect for a couple's get away. Short stroll to beach with crystal clear waters. The BEST hard-pressured shower for the end of day. Views are amazing and sun sets are gorgeous. Thanks so much!

Short get-away
A true kiwi style bach. The range of DVDs, board game’s & trampoline well used while travelling with a 10 year old :) A great view while relaxing on the deck … even when the weather didn’t play too nice.

Thank you for letting us rent out your property great location . However we feel like we should point out that the couches could do with a deep clean they were kind of unpleasent to sit on Everything else was good. Will come back for sure.

Lovely wee bach, views for days!
We spent a relaxing few days soaking up the views, snorkeling in the nearby marine reserve and enjoying all the local walks. The bach is as listed, comfy and well positioned with everything you need for a great family break!

Great Escape!
We had a great stay at the Bach, it was everything we anticipated and more! It was super clean and had all the feels a bach should have. The outdoor space was incredible with plenty of space for the kids to play and the gardens were beautifully manicured. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoyed the space! We’ll definitely be back with the boat….

Quiet sanctuary with beautiful view of harbour.
The bach is in a fabulous location, with easy access, quiet surroundings, amazing view of the harbour and lots of good things to do nearby, if you're into walking and/or beach/water activities. It's a pleasant, easy drive from town (about 40 mins). The house is very comfortable and well set up with everything you need for a great stay.
