About this property

Overlooking stunning Opahi Bay in Mahurangi West, this cute bach is set in beautiful bush setting and just a few minutes walk from the beach and boat ramp – ideal for a family or group weekend away. Opahi Bay is a calm and child friendly beach with fantastic rocks to explore and a lovely swimming beach when the tide is in. Everyone falls in love with the native birdlife surrounding this bach.

The bach is a two level house, with queen bedroom and en-suite on the upper level and two more bedrooms and family bathroom on the lower level (note: the queen room accesses the bathroom via the bedroom with 1 double and 2 single beds, so best for families), all with comfortable beds and quality linen.

The bach itself is well equipped with everything you need, including a BBQ, outdoor furniture and a heat pump for cosy winter getaways, has relaxed furnishings and WiFi.

The Mahurangi West area has so much to offer with beautiful nearby walks and beach exploring at Te Muri Beach, Sullivans Bay and Mita Bay and only 15 minutes drive to the Puhoi General Store and historic Puhoi Pub. Matakana is around 30 minutes drive, offering wineries, farmers markets and shopping.

Thankyou for sharing your home with us Rachel. Homely bach, has everything you need, lovely garden, beautiful views. Short walk to the beach. A lovely area to explore. We parked at the top to avoid reversing down the steep driveway.

Peaceful paradise

We loved our stay at Rachel's bach in Mahurangi West! The house was super clean, comfy beds, and perfect layout for our group; the teenagers were able to have their own space downstairs while my partner and I had the upstairs. Even our 8 year had his own space. Very handy having a tv on each floor too! The view is beautiful and even though neighbours are close by, it does feel very peaceful and private thanks to all the bush that surrounds the area. The driveway is very steep and definitely worth backing down if you can to enable an easier exit later as there is no space to turn around. All in all this property is a hidden gem and I can definitely recommend it to all!

Perfect

What an amazing find just 30minutes from home on the North Shore of Auckland but felt like we were miles away and to quote my 12 year old - “so quiet”. We enjoyed the views, birdsong and night sky. Even the crazy wind couldn’t dampen the experience of sitting and looking at the view. A wonderful little spot to celebrate 3 family birthdays and enjoy each others company away from the busyness of life

Lovely classic Bach

A lovely classic bach, with beautiful sea views. The place was clean and tidy and excellent communication. Would stay here again. Just to note the property is down a long driveway and there is very steep stairs between the two levels.

Great stay

We stayed for 2night at this beautiful bach and enjoyed the sea views from the sunny lounge. Everything we wanted was there and the house was very tidy. It was a short walk to the beach. Rachel was quick with communicating and sorted an issue we had very promptly. We'd love to stay again if we get a chance. Thank you!

Beautiful batch - Opahi Bay in Mahurangi West

Definitely a well looked after batch with all the amenities you need. Overlooking Opahi bay it was an absolute treat staying here. Close to local attractions and set in a very peaceful environment. Family enjoyed it tremendously and less than a hour’s drive from Auckland. Highly recommended for a quick break-away weekend stay or longer if you have the time. :-)

We had a relaxing visit - great views out to the bay & we loved the bush setting and birdlife. Everything you need is at the bach - just bring a fishing rod! Sullivan's Bay, a few minutes drive away, is also beautiful with some good walks and amazing views.

Beautiful view from the house and plenty of space for the four of us with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. Rachel replied promptly and it was helpful to know about the steep driveway and local walks before we arrived. Peaceful location.
