    About this property

    Entire place

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

    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.

    Home away from home
    We loved staying here, it was so comfortable and cosy, just like being at home. We were a sports group of 6 people, and the home catered for all our needs and then some. We would definitely book here again for our next trip.

    A relaxing place to be
    A quirky home which was a pleasure to stay in. Suitable for those who can cope with stairs as there are two long flights of stairs. A large open plan kitchen/dining/lounge which was well used during our stay. Everything we needed, and more, was provided making this the perfect place to stay for our two day minibreak. We did not park in the driveway as it looked a bit tricky to reverse out of and instead chose to park on the side of the road.

    Spacious welcoming home
    Was perfect for us, big place with everything you need. Bit rough around the edges but a pleasant stay and well priced. Ron was helpful and friendly, great to deal with. Would not be suitable for young kids due to gaps in the railing around the stairs.

    Unique architecture
    Unique architecture; everything you need; helpful host; Art Deco buildings, downtown close by. Lots of stairs and on a hill, so those with mobility issues should be mindful. Nice stay.
