About this property

The classic Kiwi Bach, love the lifestyle !

"“ Full refund offered for cancellations due to covid travel restriction”

This character filled, much loved family Bach is perfectly positioned for those looking for a fabulous holiday or just a change of pace. Great access to a variety of outstanding beaches on the coast whether by car, cycling, walking or even cross the road for a daily swim or paddle in a kayack. The section is large, flat and fully fenced so ideal for children and pets.
The original Bach is compact but has provided a wonderful space for a family of 6 for many years . With spacious, sunny entertaining decks both front and back giving you options depending if you want to relax and watch the world go by with a glass of wine or desire some quiet time .
There are views of the estuary from most rooms and the sunroom is a great reading space or as an extra bedroom as it has a couch which can fold out to a bed. There is a relaxed open plan lounge and kitchen. The central bathroom has a good sized shower plus a separate toilet. There is also an older useable toilet outside but does not have hot water.
Light and bright throughout, tidy and well presented with a real holiday feel. There are no real modern conveniences but has everything you need.
We hope you will love it as much as we do!

Special conditions:
There is the option for extra sleeping arrangements but please call or email to discuss. Ideally sleeps 4-5 adults.
There is another Bach ( new build) at the back of the property which is not used if people are staying in the original front Bach, but the area around it can be enjoyed by guests.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$90.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Ngunguru relaxation
We have stayed before and were happy to stay again. Everything we needed is there. We had some issues with the smart TV buffering/having internet problems which was a little disappointing, but location is great. The house has a café next door on one side and only a couple of steps on the other side to the dairy and two takeaway/dining options, while being straight across the road from the inlet.

Cool house in a cool village
We all loved this cosy house. The weather didn’t always co-operate so the homely and comforting feel was the perfect fit. The set up was excellent - great beds and the perfect location. The only issue was the fluctuation of the wifi. Even so, we would happily stay here again.

A quintessential kiwi batch right next to the estuary and all the amenities Ngunguru has to offer. Plenty of room off the road to park our two boats. Will probably book again.

Fantastic spot right next door to the cafe and two doors down to the dairy and fish and chip shop. Plenty of heating for mid winter and a great central location looking over the road to the estuary. As a bonus this is dog friendly. Will definitely be back some day soon.

Sheer heaven
Loved this property! Photos actually don't do it justice. Loved sitting in the front room having a hot cup of coffee looking at the water - awesome views. Great location in Ngunguru between cafe and diary - close to Tutukaka Coast and other gorgeous bays! Awesome views of the Ngunguru River across the road from the bach. We took our jet-skis with us - property had plenty of room for parking. Loved that we could take our dogs to this location too. House had all the required items. Actually no recommendations for improvement - LOVE THIS HOME!!

Wonderful
This genuine old school bach has been refreshed with welcoming interiors, is spotlessly clean and well stocked with modern conveniences. We loved the choice of the front or back decks, and the proximity to and sounds of the estuary. Our family of 5 and dog loved it!

Great location!
Perfect location for exploring the beautiful Tutukaka coast! Bach is well appointed with everything you need and is conveniently located between a cafe and the local dairy/fish & chip shop. Across the road from the beach and just s short drive from other beautiful beaches in the region. The garden is perfect for a summer getaway with lots of sunny spots to relax in.

Relaxing break away
Great place and location. A classic kiwi bach with little luxuries that make the stay homely like nice bedding, air con, multiple places to relax inside and out. Amazing location with a short nip across the road to cool down in the clear waters of Ngunguru estuary and so close to some postcard beaches. We also found the dairy and cafe location made life easy on those days when we just couldn't be bothered to cook. Great hosts with good communication.

What makes this property unique

Restaurants and cafes just steps away. Short drive to nearby Tutukaka for diving and scenic trips. Ideal for those who love to cycle and there is a new skateboard ramp just a short walk away.
