Unplug and reconnect at a kiwiana bach - 2020 finalist Bach of the year awards

Only 2 minutes walk from the estuary, this is a traditional family bach has all the basics for a great time away!

With a good sized and fully-fenced section your animals are welcome to a mini-break with you. We were even a finalist in the Bach of the year awards

It's a real unplug and reconnect Kiwi holiday - enjoy the peace with no TV or phone to interrupt your board games, swimming, walks and reading time.

The bach is very family-friendly, with books, magazines, board games and toys all available to use. Playgrounds, Four Square, dairy and fish and chip shops are all in easy walking distance.

This is also a wonderful spot for a couple wanting some time to reconnect with walks along the beach, a coffee at the local cafe and some serious downtime from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The bach has space for 10 people - two sets of bunks (one with a double), a queen-size bed, one single bed and two fold out couches.

The house is only 90sqm so while it can sleep that many, it's best for those who are happy with intimacy with their family and friends :)

Special conditions:
This bach is a basic kiwi Bach that will take you back in time but please don't expect perfection! We'd hate for you to be disappointed.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house throughly and do the dishes before you leave, wash all bedding and towels and take all your rubbish with you.
