About this property

Perfect old world bach

This two bedroom cottage is a short stroll (approx 4 minutes) to Riversdale Beach, which is patrolled during the summer. The cottage is situated between the 9 hole golf course, which welcomes visitors, and the local store where you can get coffee and takeaways.
An additional bonus for readers is the fact that you will be dining on Denis Glover's kitchen table. There are two lovely decks front and back of the property to make the most of morning and afternoon sun. In the morning the sun streams in for a sunny breakfast on the deck.
Real privacy around the back of the section with ample room for kids to run around on the grass lawn, or to laze under the fruit trees.
Great walking, golfing, swimming, boating, fishing, diving, lazing around break away to be had.
Special conditions:
2 nights minimum rental.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: clean the house and leave the cottage presentable for the next guests. You need to bring your own linen. (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Great little bach
Loved our stay at the bach it was exactly as described and great value for money only comment would be that we had to clean the shower when we arrived before we could use it but other than that everything was great and kelvin was very communicative and helpful

Great getaway cottage
The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend. The wood fire was cosy and beautifully warmed the whole house. Only a short walk to the beach and was great to take the kids for a walk even though it was a bit windy. Definitely recommend it to anyone who just wants to zone out and put their feet up.
