About this property

Family Bach with space to play and close to surf

This house will especially suit families with young children as has easy access to outdoors. Apart from the local superb surf and safe harbour beaches, there are many attractive walks and bicycle ways - cobbled footpaths wind their way around the up market Pios subdivision and a walkway borders the sand dunes for an easy stroll adjoining many of the impressive beach residences.

Relax at the local cafe or within a few minutes drive or active cycle, is the Waihi Beach township with its boutique shopping, bakeries, and restaurants. A further short drive away are the historical sites of the Karangahake Gorge and the gold mining township of Waihi - and for the children there is the vintage train ride through the gorge - for the adults as well there are extensive developed walk or cycle ways that meander alongside the river and through the abandoned train tunnel - a must do which will be always remembered!

Else just take the easy option and relax with a book under the umbrella in the courtyard and make the most of your escape from the usual daily pressures!

A final nice touch is a hot water outside shower in a private setting!
Special conditions:
Families preferred - no groups of young persons. Please respect the neighbours.

Smoking allowed outside only (do not leave your butts!)

While the house best suits maximum of 6 adults, there is sleeping for more with prior arrangement depending on number of children etc - a large caravan with utility (shower, toilet, kitchenette) is available on negotiated terms.

Extra arrangements possible for tents on the extensive grass area subject to additional payment.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Perfect Escape

The communication with the Graham, the owner of this property, was outstanding! From arrival to departure, our holiday was amazing. Booking was easy and Graham kept in contact and no question was too silly. Everything was provided, including cute extras that just made our holiday. The location could not have been any better with Anzac Bay and Waihi Beach both within walking distance. We will definitely be booking again. Couldn't have been happier.

Bowentown Beauty

A wonderful, modern house with everything one would need for a truly relaxing holiday. Two inside living areas would make this suitable for families with older children - Netflix available. Great indoor/outdoor flow - plenty of outdoor furniture- sun umbrellas - large flat section - if we had wanted, access to bikes, boggy boards .... A most relaxing place - close to beach - quick walk over the sand dunes to surf beach or you can walk to Anzac Bay for a more sheltered spot. Comfy beds! We much appreciated the bottle of vino left for us and the offer of a free nights accommodation due to weather not been the best! Highly recommend this property. We would love to return for another break.

Perfect Holiday Location for Families

The house is ideal for a family holiday. The section is a great size for the kids to run around, it is so close to the beach and the playground up the street has a great variety for the kids to play on.

Lovely quiet location, just a two minute walk to the beach.

Lovely quiet location, just a two minute walk to the beach. The property is very modern with great facilities and amenities. Nice back yard behind the house with BBQ and sun umbrellas gives it an extra living space. Overall a very nice holiday house to stay in.

Fantastic! We've just come back from this property (for the second time) and had another great holiday in a lovely, comfortable home. Everything is clean and tidy and the outside (warm) shower is a real bonus. We are hoping to go back again next January.

Location was perfect, two minute drive to the Bowentown holiday park, a minute walk to the beach, you can hear the waves from the property. Very clean, everything my little family needed and could ask for when leaving the big smoke for a holiday away! Thank you so much!
