About this property

Private Headland, Coastal, Waterfront

Orongo Point is a privately owned headland surrounded by the untouched waters of the Kaipara.

Situated 20 mins from Wellsford SH1 or if you prefer the scenic SH16 drive from Auckland through Kaukapakapa, only 1 hour 10 mins.

Orongo Point offers the ultimate getaway experience with 200 acres of private farmland and 3 kms of pristine forested coastline to explore, with access to its own private and magnificent white sandy beach.

----------------------

From picking lemons at the century old lemon tree on the edge of the famous Lemon Tree Bay to watching the sun set over Pouto and South Head from back beach.

From kayaking the coast to lazing the afternoon away in paddocks with breathtaking views.

Experience, explore and soak up the magic of Orongo Point.

----------------------

Orongo Point bach provides simple kiwi style bach accommodation and is the perfect base to explore this amazing part of New Zealand.

The bach is a rustic-styled, 2 bedroom timber hut with adjoining outdoor deck to enjoy the views of Lemon Tree Bay. Inside there is a master bedroom - with a luxurious queen size bed. The second bedroom offers bunk accommodation with two single beds. The kitchen is modern and well appointed with plenty of fridge space.

Timber lining gives the bach a rustic, natural charm which is surrounded by a mature garden and fruit orchard. The interior decor is cosy, but contemporary.

-------------------------

Pets are welcome. We get a lot of visitors bringing their dogs with them. They love the freedom and space to run around too.

There is plenty of room around the bach to put tents up too.

Please remember to bring your own linen and towels. We have plenty of duvets, blankets and throws to keep you warm and cosy.

We love our special part of New Zealand and encourage you to take your rubbish with you.

A great little escape!
Linda's a fantastic host. The little property was absolutely perfect and was everything we'd hoped for. Peaceful and quiet & surrounded by farm life with a little view of the ocean. The property had everything we needed and was lovely and tidy! My partner & I got engaged on the 'Back Beach'. We'll definitely be back again.

I was looking for a private space where my dog could roam around and I could write. This was the perfect fit. We both also really enjoyed the beach.

Tapora and oysters on the beaches
the property is large with free range over the farm. the bach itself is small to accommodate more than 2 if forced to stay inside. the deck and tables / chairs are just perfect when the weather is nice. lots of oysters - small rock variety - so a bit of work to collect enough for a feed. Beware the sucky mud when walking on some areas of the beaches. Gran and Gandad for a week great. Mum Dad and two preschoolers for a night = ok. plenty of toys and games.

Peaceful location
We had a enjoyable time staying at the Tapora Bach, the Bach was cozy and was very well equipped! The back beach was beautiful and secluded, a great place to sit and ponder. The farmers were very friendly and we liked watching the goings on around the farm, as we were ex dairy farmers! Just the relaxing break we needed! Many thanks! 😊

Enjoyable Stay
My stay was for work purposes so was looking for a comfortable place to rest at the end of each day. This worked out really well, extremely peaceful and all the necessary ammenities available. Easy check in, and communication from Linda was great throughout. A picturesque area with very friendly locals. For these reasons I would highly recommend to anyone.

Something/ somewhere different! Access to the beach although a wee bit of walk was well worth it, private with lovely warm water, nice and shallow for the kids. We all enjoyed our stay including the pooch.

We enjoyed our stay. The kids loved fishing, kayaking seeing the cows get milked. .
It was a nice stay. The break was greatly needed. Staff were friendly, farmer was accomodating. Im exhausted from walking down the back paddock twice a day. But kids loved all the activities. Greatly for tip about boat shoes. Otherwise a great stay thanks.
