The outdoor area feels wonderfully secluded, surrounded by greenery with wide views across the sparkling water.



If you’re looking for a simple, beautiful, and peaceful coastal escape, this bach offers all the charm of classic Kiwi holidaying with a view you’ll never want to leave.



The Neighborhood:

Onekaka is one of Golden Bay’s hidden gems — peaceful, scenic, and wonderfully unspoilt. Nestled between Takaka and Collingwood, this small coastal community is known for its relaxed atmosphere, big open skies, and beautiful natural surroundings. Life moves gently here, with the tides, the birds, and the changing colours of the estuary setting the rhythm of the day.



From the bach, you’re just moments from the water, where you can stroll along the shoreline, watch wading birds feeding in the shallows, or enjoy the soft glow of sunrise across the estuary. The area is perfect for those who love nature, photography, or simply unwinding somewhere quiet and beautiful.



Onekaka is also home to a small, friendly community with a creative streak. A short drive brings you to the iconic Mussel Inn — a Golden Bay favourite for its craft beers, delicious food, and live music nights. You’re also within easy reach of Collingwood village, with its cafés, general store, estuary walkway, and access to Farewell Spit. Takaka is just a little further along the road, offering shops, supermarkets, galleries, and great dining options.



Whether you’re here for a peaceful retreat, coastal exploring, or a romantic break, Onekaka offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience, with some of the region’s best beaches and walking tracks only a short drive away.
