About this property

A Bach in the heart of Oakura Village

Close to the beautiful Oakura beach, only 5 min walk away.
The local shops and great pub are only a 2 min walk away.
Oakura is a top summer holiday destination. With a beautiful beach, mountain walks, great surf spots, children's playgrounds, local shops and tennis courts at your doorstep what more could you want. This small village has so much to offer. The house is north west facing so you get loads of sun from morning till night.
There are some beautiful walk tracks around and only a 10 minute drive in to New Plymouth to make the most of the Coastal Walkway, Pukekura Park and the Brooklands Zoo. Also on in Pukekura Park is the Festival of Lights which provides a light show and entertainment most nights in Pukekura Park from mid Dec - late Jan all for free. This is such a spectacle it is not to be missed.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, Linen (included);

Fabulous set up & location
We were staying for a wedding at Ahuahu Villas. This was a superbly well resourced home with plenty of kitchen effects, supplies and good coffee. The iron & board was well used too. Quiet spot and easy access to main road shops. Thanks Howie for a great stay & dropping the jacket to me later, too.

Amazing stay
We really enjoyed our stay here in Oakura. Lovely clean and tidy house. Had a great feel for our summer holiday. Loved the outdoor seated area. Close to shops (little walkway way at end of street) and beach. Was great to have a fenced section for our little dog that she couldn’t escape from. Plenty of back garden area for her to explore. Would love to return again!

A hidden gem
This is an absolutely fantastic property with a beautiful enclosed garden that’s perfect for your dog. Close to the shops, the pub and the beach. What more could you ask? The host Howie is a really nice guy who makes you feel very welcome. We came at Christmas and really appreciated the bottle of bubbles, chocolates and mince pies in the fridge. Top marks from us and would highly recommend.

Great location to chill in Oakura
We had a great time staying at Howie's place - large fully fenced yard was good for the dog, and plenty of space to relax inside and outside on the spacious deck. Nice 10 min walk to the beach through the forest too. Our second time staying there, and we'll be keen to stay again in future

a beautiful holiday oasis
Our holiday at Howie's was absolutely amazing. His holiday home was equip with all that a family could wish for. A great kitchen with all that you will need for your holiday, a spacious lounge to unwind and relax, comfortable beds, beautiful shower, and a wonderful deck to sit back and enjoy the sun. The section was fully fenced which gave us peace of mind for our wee dog. We definitely left Howie's feeling relaxed, just as a holiday should be. Thankyou so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home Howie. I would highly recommend Howie's holiday home. 10/10.

Great stay in Oakura
We loved our stay in the Bach in Oakura. Howie was very responsive and helpful. The house had everything we needed. The beds were really comfortable. The backyard was spacious and well fenced and we loved the deck. We walked into Oakura using the walkway at the end of the street.

Central Oakura
Tidy, clean and well presented 2 bedroom house on large, private rear section. Open plan dining and lounge opens onto well furnished deck. Easy walk to shops, cafe and pub and approx' 500m to beach. House was perfect in providing easy access to the beach for swims and walks, yet only 15 minutes from central New Plymouth.
