About this property

Beachfront bach Piha

Just cross the road and you're standing on the beach about 100m north of Lion Rock. It is also right between the flags of a frequently surf patrolled area in the high season.
Our beautiful, rugged, iron-sand beach is perfect for a holiday - surf, swim, walk - enjoy the beach, the bush, the awesome views and magical sunsets.
This typical Kiwi bach has a warm and sunny north west aspect and is set on a large level site.
The layout is perfect for relaxed holidays with its large open plan living area and huge entertaining decks. You can lie in bed and look at Lion Rock from the master bedroom while the other rooms offer a restful garden view.
It is only a 5 min walk to the local shop, cafe, library and tennis court.

Cute retro bach opposite the beach

Everything was as described. Some of the pillows were past their “use by” date, but we always take our own, so no problem. Lovely little spot for a get away.

Another wonderful stay

This was our second visit to this cute little bach, and again, we had a lovely stay. We were warm & snug, enjoying the winter sun. The bach had everything we needed, and as always, Piha delivered that west-coast wild goodness that nourishes the soul.

Best things never change.

Piha is one of New Zealand's special destinations, and Sharon's property is well up to standard for allowing visitors to appreciate its unique features. The surf beach and Lion Rock are very short walks away, and the bush walk to Piha's waterfall is a very short drive away. Previously our family owned a bach at North Piha of similar design to Sharon's, so we appreciated the sensible design features of Sharon's summer home. They brought back happy memories. The mustard coloured bach just south of Sharon's one was (I believe) owned by mother about 1945. This brought back further memories! Best of luck for future visitors.

Whole family loved it

This bach had everything we needed, right down to a kitchen full of handy utensils (I even baked a cake while we were there) We just loved being straight across the road from the beach, we loved the big lawn & deck, there was plenty of room for everyone. Thanks for a great stay

Awesome location, retro bach . Plenty of space around property for the kids to run around, let alone the beach just across the road. Carpets pretty old and wood on deck a bit splintery.

Host profile image
Greg and I live on Auckland's North Shore and have been married 37 years - we used to go to Piha when we were dating! We have 3 adult kids, and a couple of grandchildren and all of us have enjoyed many years of holidays at Piha.

What makes this property unique

Relaxed, easy care holiday home. A truly kiwi bach that we have loved for many years, and created awesome memories in. We have really enjoyed sharing it with others too. Our tradition is to watch the sun go down each evening, from the dunes.
