About this property

Kiwi Bach by the Beach

If beach holiday fits your lifestyle then this is the place for you. A comfortable but classic Kiwi bach for your family or friends to enjoy New Zealand’s special wild coastal charm. You can be active diving for paua or crayfish, or relax on the beach while you wait for a fish to hook up. The Mataikona coast is full of opportunities for those who simply enjoy walking and fossicking. Suitable for all year round, you can sit in the sun and watch the hypnotic surf from the deck with a nice, refreshing drink or stay inside playing darts and keeping warm by the woodburner. Head down the road to the Whakataki pub or the golf course, or visit the spectacular cliffs and views at Castlepoint.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only. Please note the bach is on tank water so conserving water is appreciated.

Excellent location, typical kiwi batch

Excellent amazing location, typical kiwi batch, had everything we needed, our Mum is in the last months of her life, we asked her what she wanted, all she wanted is to sit by the sea, so she took her walker down to the beach, and sat there, it was the perfect location, cell coverage was amazing, we were able to stream the rugby for Mum, highly recommend this place just on location, loved it, thank you

Nice secluded bach by the beach

We had a lovely stay, and enjoyed several walks on the beach just over the road. Felt like we were staying in a family bach. Beds were clean and comfortable and we particularly enjoyed the view of the sea from the master bedroom. Guests may wish to note that the stairs are quite steep, they were tricky but manageable for the toddler and grandparents in our party.

great location

great spot, everything was great bar the amount of mice sightings (no less than 10 sightings) and my companion finding mice droppings on her bedding... it took two of us to open the front gate and very disappointed we couldn't use the washing machine as I am constantly on the road and planned to do laundry here as we were going to be in a house... all this aside you will want for nothing at this property... thank you for having us

Cute Bach with great view

cute little A-frame with a great view of the beach. The beach itself was pretty wild, and the sea had lots of big logs floating in it, so we opted to drive to Castle Point Beach, only 5 minute's drive away, for our swimming. Bach had everything you need, but the outdoor pizza oven needs a little tlc to be usable, Definitely a great spot for a weekend away from it all.
