About this property

Pohutakawa Getaway Whiritoa

Private, renovated bach only 200m walk from the beach.

Situated at the southern end of Whiritoa you are only minutes walk from the beach and only a short stroll down to the lagoon, shop, kids playground, tennis courts, skate park and surf club (open summer only)

Large new wraparound deck and bifold doors from the lounge, spacious living area (with comfortable seating for 10) and dining area (normally seats 8 but can extend to seat10 with spare chairs available). Plenty of room in the back garden which is very private. Section is fully fenced - great for keeping dogs and kids in!

The bach is really well equipped and has a nice balance between a retro bach feel with lots of kiwiana art, but with all the modern comforts.

Well equipped kitchen, heat pump, 4 burner hooded BBQ and gas column heatersfor bedrooms.

Heaps of games and books to keep the family occupied, plus an extensive range of DVDs in case the weather turns.

2 brms (1 with king, 1 with a double/single bunk), and 1 cabin with ensuite (queen + king single)

Bring your Sky set top box as there is a Sky dish (Freeview and Netflix supplied)

Whiritoa is a lovely place to get away from it all, with only a shop and the surf club, but Waihi or Whangamata only a 15 min drive away.

Note this back is hired on a self clean basis. Guests are required to clean the bach prior to checking out.

If you're looking for a nice relaxing holiday, Whiritoa is your place!

Special conditions:
Linen is available but must be washed and dried before check out (there is a dryer)

Pets are most welcome - the section is fully fenced

Smokers also welcome as long as you smoke outside on the deck and ensure butts are put in the rubbish

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

Winter stay

We had a lovely few days mid winter. The beach was a very short walk away and perfect to walk the dog. The bach worked well for us with the kids in the cabin and as it was fully fenced the dog could wander around the garden but be safe (it’s only a fairly low wire fence so not suitable for dogs actively looking to get out!)

Stunning Whiritoa

Thank you for sharing your home and allowing pets to join. It's a special thing to be able to take them with you and this home was relaxing and spacious for us. The fence was adequate for our greyhound as he's too much of a sook to jump it but our bitzer would have bounded over it easily if we left her alone. But, it was family time and the point of taking them with us was to be together so it didn't matter. We would love to stay again.

Great batch in great location.

Lots of space inside and out. Everything you need and more. Close to beach in a very quiet attractive village in a good location especially to visit Waihi and Whangamata or wider Coromandel area.

Home away from home

This was the perfect home away from home. A place where our fur babies got to run around with gates surrounding the property, they had everything we needed for our holiday and much more. We made use of the fishing equipment and bbq which was well equipped. The bean bags became a favourite for us to relax on the large deck in the sun & there was alot of games both indoor and outdoors to entertain the kids. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely be back again.

Beautiful house in a beautiful town

Really enjoyed our stay. Super tidy and beautifully renovated house. Property is fully fenced with a gate so is safe for little ones. Enjoyed a big deck and a nice lawn at the back. Would recommend to everyone.

Awesome kiwi bach in a beautiful quiet setting

Absolutely loved our stay, the photos don’t do the property justice. So nice to be close enough to Beach Hop to enjoy the mayhem, but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. Fully stocked with everything we needed.

Beautiful getaway

Our whole family had big smiles from when we arrived to when we left. Not even 5 minute walk to the beach, we were there twice a day. Was just what we needed and definitely want to come back. Great communication with host. Hot water wasn't working, she got someone over immediately and problem was solved :) Happy smiles all round :)

Happy family gathering

This bach was a perfect base for our family get together. The weather was not fantastic so we were inside a little more than we had intended but the bach was very comfortable and very warm. We felt like we had tons of space. Location was great and the area is really nice. We took a trip to Whangamata which is 15 mins away. So easy. Our stay was great. Thank you for sharing your holiday space.

Serene and dog-friendly!

A really lovely stay in a peaceful neighbourhood. Bach was fully equipped and beautifully decorated. Our dog loved exploring outside, watching the seagulls next door, and managed to find two old balls in the bush to play with! The beach was also nice and seemed only locals were around so not crowded. It also allowed dogs to be off-leash between 3pm-10am which was another doggy bonus. We appreciated the early check-in time and would definitely stay again!
