Enjoy the sound of the birds among the trees

Five minutes walk to the centre of town, this charming fully-furnished family home is set among trees in a quiet location across the road from Gleeson Park. This reserve is mainly lawn and trees with a small playground for children, and is suitable for family games and picnics ... bring your badminton net!
Designed and built by an architect in the 1960s, the quirky home has many interesting features including a narrow sky-view strip that runs the length of the roof. Very little has been modified over the years, apart from the original balcony. This was completely rebuilt (2017) to comply with modern building-safety standards.
The master bedroom upstairs has a small bridge that leads across to an elevated private garden with fruit trees.
While the main bathroom has a shower, toilet and bath, upstairs there's a second toilet with hand basin.
Being a chalet style with open stairs, our holiday home is not ideally suited for wee toddlers or the infirm.
Off street parking is available for up to three vehicles.
Special conditions:
Minimum stay 2 nights.
$190 per night for 2 adults, plus $10 per night per extra person.

Smoking allowed outside only.

Extras: Linen (included); Free Wifi (included);Sky TV. (included)
NOTE: Under Kiwi Bach tradition you are expected to leave the Bach in a tidy condition.

My partner and I were so pleased with the location. We especially loved the large living room, kitchen and dining area. It was a short walk to the City Center, beach, grocery stores and many restaurants. The Hawke's Bay Trail System is spectacular for walking/running and biking. It was such a pleasure to have Ron as our host.

Overall a very unique and cute place to stay. Perfect for Art Deco lovers. Lovely views from all around the house and can feel like you’re in the trees. Cleanliness improvements would be the shower, uncleaned oven trays and general dusting. The host is right nextdoor which I feel should be noted but he is lovely and gives you your space to enjoy the property. Overall would happily stay again.

The ideal house for an extended family. Room for everyone without feeling cluttered. Handy to CBD and Marine Parade meant we didn't need multiple vehicles. Friendly helpful host without being intrusive. Great outdoor spaces for summer stays. Quiet street.
