TUI PONGO Bach / Holiday House

TUI PONGO

This Kiwi Bach has a great location, right in the centre of Ocean Beach Rd, and has easy access to the ocean beach only a two minute walk, whilst enjoying a completely private setting.
Sun filled morning and afternoon decks give the bach a superb indoor outdoor flow.
The native bird sanctuary that has a tidal steam flowing behind the property makes it a paradice for the bird life, imparticular our native Tui. Kayaks are available at the bach so you can explore the creek, right out to the harbour.
Well kept gardens are fantastic for children and the pohutakwa tree is idyllically positioned to appreciate.
Within a few minutes drive is Saliors Grave Beach and Otara Bay. Further on to the famous Hot Water Beach/Cathederal Cove, only a 20 minute drive.
Endless activities for all visitors.
Tairua has wonderful walking tracks which include beach, bush and mountain tracks.
Special conditions:
No Smoking. Pets allowed with prior approval.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Family Holiday
Loved the location the beach is a 5 minute or less walk. Loved the home. Everything was wonderful. Only suggestion would be to get a few new pans. They are pretty bad but that is the only negative thing I can say. Loved staying there.

Perfect stay!
The Bach was just what our family needed for a few days to unwind after travelling from Australia. We loved the beach just across the road, the yard was a big hit with the kids too. The Fire place was lovely to take the chill off the air. The place was comfortable and homely and great location to explore the Coromandel. Thanks for the great stay!

A true NZ bach, with most of the essentials and in a lovely location, a short hop to the beach. It was comfortable, and our wee dog loved cooling off in the stream out back.

Paradise in Tairua
A absolute gem of a bach in Tairua, great location, right by the main beach, and also backs on to a stream that flows into the main harbour, (Kayaks provided) Tidy, clean and has everything you need and more for the quintessential kiwi beach experiance.... loved it.

Lovely kiwi bach close to the beach
Thank you for a lovely stay. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest to enjoy the amazing locality to the beach, which was such a close walk. The house had everything we needed and more! Would love to stay again in nicer weather :) Thanks again Rosemary

Absolutely magic
This was the perfect spot for our weekend away. Loved the peace and quiet, the easy access to the beach and the spot of solitude in the evening sun by the river. Best of all worlds. Had forgotten how magical Tairua is. Two nights was not long enough! Thsnks!

Gorgeous classic Kiwi bach stay
A peaceful and restorative break close to nature. The bach was ideally located close by the beach and we loved taking the kayaks along the creek at the back of the property. Rosemary very thoughtfully got in touch to offer extra instructions as there was unseasonably cool weather. A very special holiday home and I'm sure has many very happy memories attached to it!

Classic bach very close to beach
The bach is tidy and well equipped, but lacks wifi which wasn’t a problem for us. The fireplace was much appreciated as the mornings and evenings were a little cool in September. Beautiful Tairua Ocean Beach is only a couple of minutes walk away.

A Restful Retreat
We had a lovely quiet few days in a great location, close to the ocean beach and listening to the birds. The bach is as described and was very clean and tidy. Comfortable and warm beds, the fireplace and heater were good with the cold weather. Suited our family and dog well. Thanks

Family weekend away
The bach was lovely and had everything we needed. It was in a great location with easy access to the beach and the outdoor deck at the back of the property was so nice and peaceful. My son loved the rope swing and we loved that our puppy could come along for her first family trip. Rosemary was very helpful and we will definitely return in the summer. Thank you!

Weekend with friends and family
We had a wonderful stay at the bach. Plenty of room for all the family. We enjoyed the peace and privacy, while the children enjoyed the great pohutukawa tree with rope swing, and lots of open space in the backyard for running around. Easy beautiful access to the stream, where the children and dogs had fun in the water, and we made use of the kayaks on site. The fire kept us warm and cozy at night. The bach had everything we needed, and we are very grateful for our stay. Thank you.

Real kiwi bach
Don’t expect any more than a kiwi bach , it’s all abit dated . Abit surprised by the hosts instructions to bring all of our own linen and then the expectation that we would clean it to the same standard as we found it . I think the place was abit pricey for what it was & to be honest the couches needed a good clean . Having said all that it was cute and very handy to the beach .
