Great beach house. Quiet location, next to lagoon and beach, fully-equipped and recently renovated.
We love it, but also make it available to guests for 6-8 weeks a year, when we can't be there ourselves.
Note that after it's been booked for 8 weeks we don't take any more bookings. Sorry.
The house can comfortably sleep 8 (including 4 children on the bunks). Plus 3 or 4 on sofa beds.
2 double bedrooms upstairs. Large 'family' room downstairs (double futon, 2 bunks (for 4 children)).
Bathroom & separate WC upstairs. WC / sink downstairs. Outside shower (enclosed, with hot water).
Fully equipped kitchen: oven, hob, dishwasher, breakfast bar, Italian coffee machine & grinder. ‘Drinks’ fridge in storage area under house.
Sitting area & TV upstairs. Glass doors slide completely open (in sitting / living area & in kitchen). WiFi.
TV in downstairs bedroom.
Fully-equipped laundry: W-M, dryer.
Heat pump for winter. AC for summer (but obviously better just to open all the windows …)
Deck overlooks beach / lagoon / reserve. Weber Barbecue, heater, & lighting on the deck.
Double & single kayak. Bike/s also available. Tennis courts also in the village (we have a key to the courts).
Whiritoa is a beautiful, quiet, friendly village. The surf club & dairy (ie shop) are 2 minutes up the road. Dairy does essentials plus ice-cream & some food.
Supermarket (& large-ish town) 12 minutes drive in Whangamata. Waihi (Karangahake gorge etc) in other direction.
We don’t make it available very much. We just ask that guests treat the place well.
It's a kiwi bach, not a hotel. We leave some of our stuff there - books, spreads & condiments in fridge, cooking ingredients, perhaps some stuff in freezer, cleaning stuff, some stuff in bathroom/s etc - but there's plenty of room for your stuff. We ask that guests replace anything they use.
There are towels & linen there, but there will be an additional cost for that (to cover cleaning costs etc). We charge $25 pp.
The listing price assumes only 1 family is staying. If there's another family staying, we charge a further 50% of the cost to cover additional use, wear & tear etc.
We charge a cleaning fee at the end.
Any questions, please get in touch.
