About this property
Sunny bach, walk to beach, golf course & shop. Perfect for a large family or two
Very sunny private backyard, the morning sun streams in for a sunny breakfast on the deck. Loads of room in the backyard. It is important to us that all surfaces are cleaned thoroughly after each visit.
Perfect location, being only a few minutes walk to the beach, golf course, tennis courts & shop.
Great for 1 or 2 large families, with separate areas for both, or put the teenagers in the sleepout.
Plenty of room for cricket, volleyball or a game of soccer on the huge lawn.
The house has three bedrooms and the sleep-out has a queen bed and two singles, including its own bathroom, with toilet and shower.
The house is still in the 1950's original style, so don't expect modern.
Welly McClellys Beach Bach is ideal for children with the reserve next door which has a skate ramp, basketball hoops, cricket pitch & swings .
Relax and enjoy the taste of the good ol’ days!
Walk to the beach, 9 hole golf course, shop, reserve with playground and tennis court. It is a great beach to explore, swim, surf, fish, and to collect paua and crayfish.
What’s available at the house?
· Golf clubs
· Tennis rackets
· Two volley rackets
· One bike - great biking at Riversdale
· kids boogie boards
· Games, books and puzzles
· CD’s – movies for families
· Barbecue
Riversdale Beach is an idyllic holiday location located approximately 2 hours from Wellington and Palmerston North. Riversdale Beach has an unenviable climate with generally warm temperatures and vast amounts of sun.
No teenage groups or parties at this property.
Under Kiwi bach traditions you are expected to clean the house and do the dishes before you leave, ready for other guest to enjoy.
Reminder please bring your own linen (tea towels, sheets, duvet covers, pillow cases & towels).
