The Blue House - loads of Kiwi bach character just 30 seconds to the beach

Welcome to The Blue House! It is less than 100m from the door to beautiful Whangamata beach with no roads to cross.

The Blue House is full of NZ bach character, but has modern extras to help you enjoy your holiday (including a dishwasher, instant hot water and fibre internet).

Upstairs there are ocean glimpses from the lounge and the long, wrap around deck. Upstairs, in addition to the large lounge, there is separate kitchen / dining, two bedrooms (a queen and a double) and a bathroom with new, modern shower.

Downstairs there is a games room, complete with table tennis, darts board and TV. Plus another queen bedroom, the bunk room with lots of space for the kids and the second bach style bathroom combined with the laundry.

With this much space, the house works really well for two families. You can relax on the deck and watch the kids enjoy the large, flat backyard.

The fibre internet connection and individual spaces also makes it possible for any working adults to get their work done and then join in the fun.

When you arrive on the beach you will be at Clark Island which is beautiful to visit by wading across at low tide. Turn left and you will be walking towards the Surf Club, swimming flags and bigger surf. Turn right and you'll be in the quieter, generally calmer, end of the beach. A 5 minute drive or easy, flat bike ride will get you to the Estuary, Harbour or town.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$130.00 per stay); NOTE: As per Kiwi-bach tradition you generally bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels); Linen service is available but there is an additional charge of NZ$15 per person for this.

Beach Hop 2025 Holiday

Great location close to everywhere we needed to be. Perfect bed arrangements for 2 small families including kids and teens. House was clean. Host was lovely and friendly to deal with.

A 70’s dream getaway

We rented “the blue house” for Beach Hop 2024 and we absolutely loved the place. The location was just off a main road and a stones throw from iconic Clark Island. This kiwi bach has all the throw back 1970s charm but with plenty of modern touches to enjoy too. We had ample space inside and off street parking. Heaps of fun things to do and enjoy inside and out. Comfortable beds, clean home, yum coffee and a well resourced kitchen. Thanks for being a kind an awesome host, and for sharing your home with us, we’re definitely keen to rent it again.
