About this property

Just a short stroll to the water or into town

For the weekend getaway you can't beat this little bach which has just been renovated and comes with all you might need for just a couple of nights, or a week long stay!

Our bach is privately owned and the comforts of your own home have been replicated here.

On your arrival just be prepared to just relaxing as everything will be taken care of for you. This bach is all inclusive with linen, towels and extra bedding if you wanted a couple of extras on futons in the living area.

A short stroll to the closest beach of only 150 meters and a walk over the hill to the town of Paihia and ferry crossing to Russell.

The bach has an outdoor area (decking) and grassed area (that over time will be landscaped). There is also car parking.

No need to pack ample of clothing for the extra long stays as there is a washing machine within the bach. For those rainy days, indulge in a wide range of dvds available for your use.
Special conditions:
Some pets accepted. Message for further details and information.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$65.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Cute but musty

The bungalow was cute and clean inside with modern décor, but unfortunately there was a terrible smell of musty almost like a moldy smell. We did have doors and windows open to air out, but as soon as it was shut up, the odor came back. We also found the bed quite uncomfortable. We were unsure about the parking, as the space we assumed was ours to use next to the bungalow and in front of the fence designating the back yard was used by some others when we had gone out on a couple of occassions.

newly done up, everything you need

We stayed here during dreadful weather, rain, wind and flooding. The house was great; we had everything we needed. When the weather finally improved, we loved the outdoor area. Will stay again.

Great stay in a little bay

A cute cottage,It is packed alongside similar cottages, so while you have a standard high fence it does leave some privacy to be desired. House was spotless with everything we needed. Great place would go again

Restful

A lovely little cottage where all our needs were catered for except for wifi…we could not receive or send any communication with family as our phones only work overseas if we have wifi. Unfortunately the house had a very musty smell every time we came home after being out. Overall we enjoyed our stay…loved being close to the water.

A very nice place

A lovely stay if you’re traveling with a plus-one. A quirky yet comfortable environment that naturally encourages you to relax. Definitely most appropriate for short stays, with a nice location close to local food places + activities.

Fantastic weekend

It was such a cool place to stay, nice and close to the gateway to the bay of islands. We both loved all the very cool personal touches which were cleverly placed all over the house. The property was very clean and tidy and well looked after. And everything was well laid out and communicated to us by the property owner well in advance of our stay. Thanks for an awesome stay.

We enjoyed 5 days here and we were very comfortable. It was a short walk to Paihia along the beach if the tide was low enough. The bach was well equipped and we cooked meals on a couple of occasions.

Lovely place

The batch is lovely, easy to find and to access. Nice walk up and down the hill to Paihia center. The place has all the commodities needed and a very nice interior design touch. The only downside was the proximity with neighbours who like to play loud music in the morning.
