About this property

Beachfront, rustic, sunny 3 bdrm house, with birdlife.

Leave your worries behind...bring your fishing line or contiki and fish off the beach or sit in the peaceful garden to the sound of bird life and residential Tuis. You can also slide open the bi-fold doors for the sea breeze, and relax with a cold beverage or a book.
If you prefer to be active, then one of NZ top mountain bike tracks is on your doorstep. Also nearby are some great walking tracks and fantastic waterfall only 10 minutes drive away.
If your preference is wineries, then Eskdale wineries is only a stones throw away.
If this isn't enough then jump in the car and only 10-15 minutes to restaurants, bars, Marine Parade attractions and town centre.

Magnificent location, cosy and welcoming place oozing old fashioned Bach vibe but with all mod cons. Feels Ng safe and secure even with strong winds and rough seas ahead. Our overseas travellers loved it.

Short stay
Although this place is described as rustic it could do with some TLC. Looks very tired but the bedding was clean. Outside doesn't appear to of had attention for a while also. Removed battery from smoke alarm as it was going off at 4am -needs replacing. We were just there to sleep so worked ok for us

Nice old beach cottage
Relaxed homely place right on the beach with a lovely outlook to the sea and Bluff Hill in the distance. Handy to everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay.

Bach at the beach
We had a great stay despite the chill weather. The wood stove helped keep everything comfortable. View of the bay is great, and it’s just across the road to the beach. The master bedroom was large, the two queen bedrooms were tight. The description of rustic is appropriate. Just a short drive to Napier where the selection of restaurants is overwhelming but wonderful.

Winter dog retreat
Lovely week away with our dogs! Bach is old so be prepared to feel cold.. fireplace works magic! Thank you for the firewood 👍!! Outer Napier … so great location for feeling away but close to city amenities! We loved exploring Hawke’s Bay and found it very dog friendly 🐶🙌🙏!

Had a wonderful stay in this rustic beachside cottage. Great location!
Appreciated the ability to bring along our furry travel companion. Great proximity to town but away from the hustle and bustle. And can’t beat the sound of the ocean in your ears all day!

Cosy, Rustic Relaxing Beach House
My partner and I so enjoyed our stay, not long enough. Cosy, Rustic, Quiet, Beautiful views. We had the holiday we were hoping for, relaxing, coffee & wine on the sand, steps away from house watching the sunset was just what we needed, lovely area. We enjoyed meeting the manager and she was ever so accommodating. We will definitely make this our secret getaway.

Quaint, beautiful home right across from the water
This was an absolutely beautiful property looking over the sea. The beds are super comfy. It has everything you need, even a washing machine outside. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor and a lounge and then a lovely bedroom upstairs. And a lovely fireplace with wood provided. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you so much!

Quick getaway
Was really nice to head to a fairly local place to have some time out as a family: no interruptions etc. Beautiful rustic bach the way they should be: Awesome to have our dogs with us and the brazier in the back garden that was enclosed. Bring your marsh mallows and sticks. Fridge ran a bit warm so chucked some foods out I would normally keep as daughter pregnant but not an issue for two days: Would stay again

Welcoming and wow views
Quant property in a relaxing, friendly location. We loved the nice linens and the ‘feel’ of this cozy holiday home. Noted the compact living area allows for only couch or outside dinning and the shower is a little slower than some ... However, the lovely spacious area upstairs offers stunning views. We thank you for the friendly communication and making our family pup welcome.

Loved it
Overall it suited our needs and it reminded me of beach houses from my childhood in Onrus, South Africa. I don't really want spotless perfection as I don't want to stress. We came of a cricket tournament. Kids had a great time on the beach after each hard day and we bbq-ed and used the beach (safely of course). Felt good about supporting this area as well as the nearest winery. So awesome to hear the waves the whole time.

It was a little bit more of a Bach and pricey for the location. A loud dog barked a lot next door which was a pain early am. Also one toilet only in the bathroom which is not ideal for a family and no large cooking pots. Otherwise fine.

Simple rustic bachy get away
We had a lovely week at this property. Great location, overlooking the beach, beautiful sunrises. As others have noted, it is a rustic, no frills bach, but was clean and tidy, very comfortable beds and nice crisp linen, duvets, blankets. Being open and right across from the beach it would be great in summer - though the beach is rough for swimming. The house is compact, so in cold/windy weather it was quite tight downstairs for a group of six plus a dog - but the sunny upstairs room overlooking the ocean is spacious and sunny. In winter the house is quite cold, but if you get the fire going and keep it stoked up when you go to bed, it is quite cosy. Owner was responsive and helpful.

Well Worn Rustic Beach Bach
Caution, pictures are from a few years ago and do not reflect the current condition of the house. Yes, it is three bedrooms, but it is very rustic, dated, damaged and poorly maintained. Holes in doors, dropping ceiling tiles, filthy windows and threadbare carpets. By the time the host got back to us after numerous texts and calls, we had booked another location to stay. They have also refused to refund our money, offering us only to refund the cleaning fee if we stayed there. Be forewarned, stay clear unless you want to stay at a dirty, smelly and very Rustic Beach Bach.
