About this property

Unique Bach in a quiet setting

This unique bach is located in the small township of Opoutama. The bach itself is made up of three cabins which are all connected by a deck. Two cabins are sleeping quarters. Both cabins have a queen size bed with bathroom. The third cabin is a kitchen with an enclosed dining/lounge area.

There is also a double garage which has a room with a two single beds which can be pushed together to make a king size bed.

There is plenty of grounds for the kids to run around on and an outdoor fire pit which can be used for cooking.

Dogs are allowed by please note the section is not fenced and dogs can access the neighboring properties so will need to be tied up.

Rate is for 6 people. If you would like additional people to stay, please contact the owner and we can discuss further.

This is a true Bach and is probably not suitable for our older whanau.

Extras: Linen and towels are NOT included, you must bring your own.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave.

We liked the quiet
Has everything you need. Real beachy bach feel. Liked the main kitchen living bach. Some improvements which hopefully are helpful, Airing out the cabins, wipiing ledges and clearing cobwebs would make it just that little bit more fresh. Instructions for the washing machine, Kay was really great bbut I still couldn't get it working. Despite these we enjoyed our stay, the TV, the cards, the board games were well used.

Rustical
The property suited my purpose which was somewhere to stay while working in the area. Had obviously not been used for a while as smelt a bit musty, and the cold water in the kitchen ran yellow. Comfortable beds and great heating for the cold evening.

Mahia beach bach
Our party was myself, my wife , our 2 daughters , 2grand children and 2 dogs, when viewing the property online it showed 1 room with a double bed and some bunks , it turns out the room shown is one of the ones with a bathroom , this was not the case when we arrived, the bunks had been moved out to the “ garage” room which has no bathroom . The bunks were not in the same room as the double bed, We intended to have our daughter and her 2 children sleep in the room shown, sadly we had to put them in the garage so they could be together, ( well almost) not ideal with no toilet . The property is advertised as pet friendly which it is but not fenced , one of our dogs wandered next door (did no harm ) but we faced an angry lady next door who in her words “ was sick of having dogs next door as her cat was terrified and had taken off” . Again not ideal as we had only been there about an hour , needless to say we were on dog alert for the rest of our stay. The kitchen is a bit tired , the fire extinguisher looks like it was last tested in 2008 ? The garage room has no smoke detector. On the good side the location was good, the section was a good size for the kids to play and the nearby beach was excellent , the weather was kind and we managed to see a rocket launch

Fabulous
We had a fabulous stay with fabulous weather, a lovely beach which we had to ourselves most of the time. Just be aware that the property is not fully fence for dogs as they can get underneath in parts and the new our didn’t appreciate our dog visiting her chickens. She did share some fresh beans out of her garden with us so was ok.

Return visit
Lovely to return and find carpet and curtains have been upgraded and the outside furniture newly painted. We love staying at this property. Lots of space for kids and dog to run around and quiet. Beautiful view out lounge window over a reserve. Def will be back - we call it the 'Bolthole' as so relaxing. Tips - Best in summer/spring/autumn as the lounge cabin is unlined and would be a bit chilly in winter. This time we took our own water in as have found the local water to be a bit brackish. Little shop at the petrol station is great - well stocked and very reasonable prices. Takes the pressure of trying to remember to take everything.
