About this property

Little River Bach Kenilworth

What is a Bach... (note Airconditioning to keep you warm or cool)

A "bach" also called a crib in the southern half of the South Island on New Zealand, is a small, often very modest holiday home or beach house.

Little River Bach is a modest yet comfortable holiday cottage for couples or small families, located adjacent to our sister property - River Oaks on the Mary - yet sufficiently removed to offer privacy. It overlooks the green fields of the neighbouring dairy farm, Kenilworth Bluff and fronts the Mary River (100m from the door).
The cottage is a rustically restored farm shed and furnished in country farm house style, with 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, lounge | dining | kitchenette and a deck with private garden. We have a small number of internal stairs, so not ideal for those who have difficulty with mobility, however the shower is an easy step in.
The Little River Bach makes for a great base to explore the Mary Valley, enjoy water pursuits on the river, visit the rainforests, waterfalls and Kenilworth Village.

The local area has much to offer and provides well for the bush walker with idyllic picnic spots, great opportunities for kayaking, horse riding, cycling and fishing.

Peaceful country getaway
This is a great little spot for taking time to slow down and unwind. The house is very clean and equipped with everything you need for a short stay. The dogs loved paddling in the creek and chasing their frisbee in the wide open spaces. Very accommodating owners who responded quickly to our enquires. A convenient distance from the nearest town to top up on necessities. 2 days wasn’t long enough ! We will definitely be back.

Rural Getaway
Rustic, rural property. Comfortable, quirky, under renovations. Steps could pose a problem for people with disabilities or the aged as the small bathroom, attached to the kitchen is upstairs, while the bedrooms are down. We did miss the presence of a full length mirror. No wardrobe available in second bedroom. These comments represent teething problems. There were lots of positives. Great beds. Huge TV. Lovely lounge suite and other furniture. Beautiful views, garden, peace and quiet. Close to town of Kenilworth.

Very Quiet and Relaxing
We loved our stay at The Bach, so relaxing. Our young boys loved exploring the garden and the short walk down to the river was an adventure. The fact they could swim and play in the river was a bonus!!

A lovely little cottage in a beautiful setting
Very relaxing. We spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying the winter sun and looking out at the rolling countryside. It's a fabulous place to go to leave the cares of the world behind, and Kenilworth is a gorgeous little town. Elin was terrific to deal with too. I highly recommend Little River Bach. (and the dog had a great time too!)

Cosy Property Ideal for Short Stays
We enjoyed our stay at Little River Bach. The dogs loved walking to the river each day & the yard is fully enclosed. Short drive to Kenilworth. Lovely quiet spot, the house is small but great for a short stay.
