Classic family bach experience, one minute to the beach

A New Zealand classic bach designed for families, built in the 1970s, set in a fully fenced quarter acre section with beautiful trees and room to play cricket. On a back section, protected from the wind and quiet but only one minute's walk down the drive to the safe surf beach. Bring your kayaks as we are only ten minutes walk to Ohiwa Harbour which offers wonderful kayaking.

Please note it is a very comfortable bach but suits people who want to experience the bach rather than holiday home experience.

Safe for toddlers or dogs as it is fully fenced. Open plan living with two bedrooms in the bach and two more bedrooms in a recently built sleepout. Only one bathroom but cleverly designed with two showers (one outdoors) and two toilets.

Fully equipped with washing machine, microwave, highchair and portable cot. Although we ask you to bring your own linen there are plenty of duvets and blankets. Although it sleeps 9 it is really only suitable for 6 adults. The other beds are more suitable for children as they are divans.

There is a pizza oven that you can use. However you cannot use driftwood so there is a smalll supply of wood available. If you want to use it please let us know and we will send some instructions and suggestions about where to get suitable wood.

To complete the bach experience there is a range of family board games and an interesting range of books to read.

Please note there is a cleaning fee. So treat yourself as this means you do not have to do any cleaning when you leave. We just ask you leave the bach tidy with the dishes done.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only.
Please keep dogs off the furniture.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$70.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

The location is great, loved the batch. Everything we needed except we felt that the cleanliness of some areas was not the best. Eg some of the cooking utensils and the skirting boards. Great place for a family holiday.

Ideal Bach For Families
My family had an incredible time. The place was very spacious, well-equipped, and private with a lot of outdoor space. We had fun with the pizza oven and spending time on the beach, which is just steps from the house. Would have stayed much longer if we could.
