About this property

Remarkable Isthmus Beachfront Bach

Located in beautiful Bland bay, our bach sits in a prime beachfront location with reserves on three sides and full views of the bay. An ideal location for fishing, swimming, walking, and relaxing. Not only do you have easy access to Bland bay but across the road is Whangaruru Harbour. The bach is at the hub of activities in Bland bay with the Family Fun Day on the reserve directly in front of the bach. There is a large deck and BBQ to soak up the sun and enjoy evenings with family and friends. Inside, there are two double bedrooms and a bunk room for 6. There are two toilets and both bore and tank water.

Bland Bay
Good property. Nice and clean. Great views from the deck. Fully fenced and secure. Bland Bay itself is nice but it's a long way from shops and petrol for the boat.

Summer getaway
Superb location and really well equipped for two families. Loved the commute to the beach, maybe 20 steps maximum. As with other reviews take everything you need from a groceries perspective, it is not a short or straight drive to get to a shop to reprovision. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect spot with kids by the beach
We had a very comfortable stay over summer in Spencer’s batch. Fenced section and a safe and quick walk to a fabulous beach. Great batch for kids.

What a perfect location!! Property worked really well for two families of 4.
Amazing spot and well equipped house. A great assortment of kitchen utensils/pots etc and plenty of crockery/cutlery. Lots of board games and books available too. Hosts were a pleasure to plan our holiday with.

Great view and beautiful location
We really enjoyed our stay. The view and the outside seating was truly relaxing. Spencer was very accommodating to our needs and went out of his way to make sure we were happy guests. We had our wedding in Bland Bay and needed a home base and this house worked really well for us. We had all the bedding and kitchenware that we needed to stay there for the week. We wanted somewhere with close access to the beach for our kids and this was it. The outdoor shower just before you come into the house is really helpful with sandy kids! They also have tons of games and puzzles that we used. The broken outdoor clothes rack was unfortunate but they did have some indoor clothesline options. Hopefully they can fix in time for next guests. Bland Bay is a really special location and this house worked well for our family of four!!! Don't forget to buy all of your groceries before coming to the area. You can buy all of your groceries and liquor in Russell or Whangarei before arriving in Bland Bay.
