About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beachfront, rustic, sunny 3 bdrm house, with birdlife.

Leave your worries behind...bring your fishing line or contiki and fish off the beach or sit in the peaceful garden to the sound of bird life and residential Tuis. You can also slide open the bi-fold doors for the sea breeze, and relax with a cold beverage or a book.
If you prefer to be active, then one of NZ top mountain bike tracks is on your doorstep. Also nearby are some great walking tracks and fantastic waterfall only 10 minutes drive away.
If your preference is wineries, then Eskdale wineries is only a stones throw away.
If this isn't enough then jump in the car and only 10-15 minutes to restaurants, bars, Marine Parade attractions and town centre.

Great location peaceful with a wonderful view and easy access to Napier

We (5 adults 2 dogs) stayed for 4 nights during the Hawkes Bay Marathon. Loved the house, the view, the sea across the road and the sunny outside areas front and back with wonderful bird song. Everything we needed, great fire with piles of logs and kindling for the evenings, comfy beds, safe area for dogs and our lovely host Michelle very accessible for any queries. Perfect for us.

4 old ladies on the road

Magnificent location, cosy and welcoming place oozing old fashioned Bach vibe but with all mod cons. Feels Ng safe and secure even with strong winds and rough seas ahead. Our overseas travellers loved it.

Perfect spot - so relaxing listening to the sea. Great woodburner which was handy for the unseasonable weather that we were having when we arrived. Easy drive into Napier City. Just lovely - thank you

Bach at the beach

We had a great stay despite the chill weather. The wood stove helped keep everything comfortable. View of the bay is great, and it’s just across the road to the beach. The master bedroom was large, the two queen bedrooms were tight. The description of rustic is appropriate. Just a short drive to Napier where the selection of restaurants is overwhelming but wonderful.

Short stay

Although this place is described as rustic it could do with some TLC. Looks very tired but the bedding was clean. Outside doesn't appear to of had attention for a while also. Removed battery from smoke alarm as it was going off at 4am -needs replacing. We were just there to sleep so worked ok for us

Quaint, beautiful home right across from the water

This was an absolutely beautiful property looking over the sea. The beds are super comfy. It has everything you need, even a washing machine outside. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor and a lounge and then a lovely bedroom upstairs. And a lovely fireplace with wood provided. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you so much!

Quick getaway

Was really nice to head to a fairly local place to have some time out as a family: no interruptions etc. Beautiful rustic bach the way they should be: Awesome to have our dogs with us and the brazier in the back garden that was enclosed. Bring your marsh mallows and sticks. Fridge ran a bit warm so chucked some foods out I would normally keep as daughter pregnant but not an issue for two days: Would stay again

Loved it

Overall it suited our needs and it reminded me of beach houses from my childhood in Onrus, South Africa. I don't really want spotless perfection as I don't want to stress. We came of a cricket tournament. Kids had a great time on the beach after each hard day and we bbq-ed and used the beach (safely of course). Felt good about supporting this area as well as the nearest winery. So awesome to hear the waves the whole time.

Eskdale

It was a little bit more of a Bach and pricey for the location. A loud dog barked a lot next door which was a pain early am. Also one toilet only in the bathroom which is not ideal for a family and no large cooking pots. Otherwise fine.

Well Worn Rustic Beach Bach

Caution, pictures are from a few years ago and do not reflect the current condition of the house. Yes, it is three bedrooms, but it is very rustic, dated, damaged and poorly maintained. Holes in doors, dropping ceiling tiles, filthy windows and threadbare carpets. By the time the host got back to us after numerous texts and calls, we had booked another location to stay. They have also refused to refund our money, offering us only to refund the cleaning fee if we stayed there. Be forewarned, stay clear unless you want to stay at a dirty, smelly and very Rustic Beach Bach.
