About this property
Okiwi Bay beach front bach
Fully furnished iconic kiwi bach. Perfect location with beach right across the road. Great for children. Only one hour’s drive from Nelson and Blenheim, Okiwi Bay is an idyllic spot to get away from it all, with some of the best fishing in the region right on your doorstep. If fishing's not your thing these are plenty of other activities to do in the bay including, swimming, bush walks, kayaking, a children's playground or just relaxing. Large flat section with plenty of room for boats and vehicles.
