Barefoot Bach - Steps from the Beach!
Classic Kiwiana Family Beach Escape. Unwind in a quiet, sun-soaked spot just steps from a wide, uncrowded beach. Hear the waves from the front porch as you relax, or grab the surfboard or kayaks for a paddle. Evenings toasting marshmallows, watching Netflix or Disney, or enjoy the games provided.
Enjoy our own family's holiday home, a getaway for guests who appreciate the imperfect, easygoing, nostalgic bach experience.
Come for the beach, stay for the simplicity. Your coastal escape awaits.
Kick off your day with a freshly brewed coffee from the coffee machine (BYO favourite grind!) and use the fully equipped kitchen to put together a cook up for the family.
The home is suitable for Summer or winter, with a heat pump for year-round temperature control, open fire, and outdoor areas for alfresco meals. Settle in for the evening with a Netflix movie or enjoy the grange of indoor and outdoor games on site.
Three bedrooms for your comfort, each appointed with comfy beds, make this holiday home the ideal destination for a relaxed friends retreat or a beach friendly family getaway.
Please note our home is on a very quiet street, with young families, and retired residents, so this is not a party house, we welcome guests who will be respectful of both our home and our lovely neighbours.
From this amazing location you can take a short 2 minute walk to Ruakaka Beach at the end of the road. A long stretch of white sand and waves crashing on the shore, to allow you to make use of the surfboards, boogie boards and kayaks on site.
The bach is just a two-minute drive from the local store and restaurants if you need supplies or feel like venturing out for a meal. Or check out beautiful and historic Waipu nearby.
Other things to note: Beds to sleep 6, with 2 airbeds on site for extra children which fit in the twin bedroom. Linen is available on request.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year.
