About this property

Ocean Beach Hideaway + Chalet

Say hello to a stunning private property with rural, ocean, and native bush views. Come and discover tranquil spaces for entertaining enhanced by the beautiful backdrop of evening birdsong from the reserve. Whether you're after a quiet getaway at the beach, or a weekend away with friends to enjoy local fishing, hiking, diving, or surfing you're in the right place!

The entire property is yours for the duration of your stay. All bookings have access to the main house. Bookings of five or more have access to the chalet in addition to the main house.

You will have the entire property to yourself for your stay, however if you do need anything your hosts managers are in the area. We are happy to point you in the direction of the many sights and activities Whangarei heads has to offer, and can even act as your local guides if you would like.
Special conditions:
Please respect the property and leave it as you find it. We're on tank water and you need to be frugal with the water as its like liquid gold especially through the summer droughts that we are experiencing now. We are also on septic tanks, please NO baby wipes, sanitary items or condoms can be flushed down the toilets as this blocks the system and can break the pump. This is expensive to fix and very unpleasant for everyone. No cooking fat down the sink please. Fire bans are often in place due to the reserve. Please don't light any fires. For your information security cameras are on the property.
Neighbours may come on to the property to water the garden or to do pest control for the reserve.

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);

Lovely Bach vibes
Really lovely back to basics Bach. We stayed here and did the Te Whara track over the heads and it was lovely to come back to after a long day of walking. If you are thinking you could use this to do a little WFH getaway they do not have unlimited WiFi so please note this. Also if you run cold be sure to bring some extra blankets, the house is very warm in the sun but couldn’t find a heater for the chalet. We’d definitely recommend for anyone wanting that classic Bach experience with room enough for a group.

Wonderful stay!
We had a lovely time at your beautiful bach with our two children and a friend who slept on the couch. Great walking distance to the beach (about 10 mins with children). Wonderful views over the countryside towards the beach. It has such a well-equipped kitchen and we enjoyed the limoncello on arrival. Beds were very comfortable and the spacious grounds were perfect for an Easter egg hunt. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for being great hosts!

Stunning views
We had a great time at this beautiful spot in Whangārei heads. House was in a very quiet area with amazing views. A fully equipped kitchen and lots of games for the kids as well. Would recommend adding a fan as house can be a bit warm on hot days

Rural coastal retreat
We stayed at Maria’s house for 4 nights with our adult daughter, son in law and 2 young children end of Dec 2022. Perfect for our situation as we stayed in main house and family were in the chalet. Views to die for over rural valley to the ocean. A very well equiped house suitable for family gatherings. Beds very comfy and wonderful outdoor living spaces. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic Fun
The property certainly lived up to the photos and listings. It was a great mix of rural and an easy walk to the beach. Very happy to have lifeguards at the beach and us Southerners loved the warmer water temperature. Lee the property manager had always been helpful and responsive. Would love to stay there again if we are allowed LOL

Spectacular retreat
Epic gem of a getaway. A well loved Bach which looks as it has been in a family for many years. It has all the amenities you could want, it’s quiet and is spacious. It’s 15mins walk / 2min drive to Ocean Beach which has some great wave action. We had a very relaxing time there and would definitely come back again. With the second dwelling I could imagine it would be an ideal stay for two families. Thanks Lee for hosting us!

Idyllic Stay with Beautiful Views
We had a magical stay at this beautiful property in an idyllic countryside and seaview setting. Oceans beach is within 5 minutes walking or 1 minute driving distance - we walked and surfed there each day. Other coastal beaches of Whangarei Heads are nearby, and walking up Mt Manaia was well worth the effort!! There is something for everyone to do here whether that is pure relaxation looking at the gorgeous view and a good book, or activities.

Amazing view and beautiful property
Perfectly perched on top of a little hill over lookin rolling meadows down to the coast. Lots of birds and plants. You can spend the whole day on the deck just relaxing and admiring the view. Amenities in the house and chalet are modern and well looked after. Very friendly property manager and great communication. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for having us.

We loved it, Beautiful property, great view, everything we needed.
The property was everything we needed and wanted and more. It is set on a large site with great gardens, we enjoyed the Feijoas and Guavas that were ripe. The gardens attract alot of birds. The main house is well equipped and has a definite beach/bach feel and look. The table out on the decking was an amazing place to sit and have breakfast or enjoy the sun and views. We were using the Chalet and the rooms have large ranch slider windows onto a deck that give amazing views down the valley and to the beach. This is not a beach front bach, it is a 1 min drive or a 4 - 5 min walk down a hill to the beach. Note there is no footpath so you are walking on the side of the road.

A little tricky to find but well worth it.
A little tricky to find but well worth it. The property and the location is gorgeous with a white sand beach only a short walk away. The view is amazing but the property is quite a drive from Whangarei. There was no microwave which made reheating food a bit tricky.
