About this property

The Yellow Bach on Campbells Beach; kayaks wifi sky sport Netflix sleeps 4

Welcome to the Yellow Bach!

Four people can enjoy a sandy, safe and tidal beach just 80 metres across the grass. Front row position. Lovely sea and summer sunset views from the dining table. Seaside children's playground is close by.
There are some really nice and safe paddles within the bay, up two mangrove creeks as well as around the coast.

A little under an hour north of Auckland, Campbells makes for a great escape place.
By car, Matakana is 7 minutes, Tawharanui Regional Park and Sandspit both 15 minutes and Warkworth supermarket 20 minutes.

Campbells Beach is a hotspot for birdlife. Listen to the kaka, bellbirds and tuis in the day time, kookaburras (true) at dawn and dusk and an owl at night.

Great break. Great coffee machine
We spent a lovely week here. Best coffee maker we've struck in a rental property. Everything we needed was there. Owner was great to deal with. Close to Matakana and great swimming beaches, though Campbell's Bay itself is very tidal

We were spending time in the area to potentially look at buying a bach. Loved the greater area so much we’re in the process of buying a larger property and moving. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the yellow bach as ideal for a break away or holiday

Great. But.
The location sells it: quiet shady beach 50M away. Enjoyed sitting out on deck. Great tv, internet, coffee maker, stove, air conditioning. We knew to take towels & sheets; other bedding is old, stained. BBQ in photo isn’t there, only one with an old cylinder that cant be filled or swapped. No paper or cleaning products, unless left by previous guests. For a couple of days, the location compensates for the shortcomings. Nearest shopping is Matakana.

About the host

Hosted by David Pooch

Host profile image
We live on the North Shore and have five adult children and eight grand children. We have had enormous fun over the years at the bach with the kayaks, fishing, lawn cricket and so on.

Why they chose this property

We bought this place because it was right on the water, level for grand children to play and only an hour from home. We also like the fact that there is lots of bird life there. Tui, wood pigeon, oyster catchers, grey heron, owl and even kookaburra (true, they migrated from Kawau and you can hear them early morning and in the evening). We often hear kaka flying overhead too.

What makes this property unique

Just one hour from Auckand, quiet, on the beach, and a hotspot for bird life. 7 minutes drive to Matakana. Newly renovated, excelllent kitchen and dishwasher, cosy and warm. Children's playground very close by.
