Fantastic Family Holiday Accomodation
Thanks so much for great holiday accommodation. It was perfect for our combined family holiday, especially with the sleep out for the kids. The location is fantastic for easy access to town and the beach. The yard was a great size for kicking the ball around, and general family fun. We had a great holiday and look forward to booking with you again.

Classic kiwi bach better suited for summer stays
Full of character kiwi bach close to Whanga vibe, however better suited for summer stays. Insufficient heating provided (gas bottle heater) and some windows had curtains. Owner needed to be chased on arrival to provide lockbox details. We bailed early due to heavy rain and uncomfortable beds.

About the host

Hosted by Craig Waugh

Host profile image
Hi. The kids and I live on Auckland's North-shore, we are your traditional Kiwi family who enjoy the outdoors and particularly the beach. Have a love of all water sports and enjoy spending time on the water. Any chance we get we escape Auckland for Whangamata and other wonderful places that NZ offers

Why they chose this property

The 'Whanga Bach' as the kids have called it since they were born is our special place. Some wonderful memories that will never leave us.

We have tried to keep the Bach simple, whilst on a large piece of land we have had opportunities to build a bigger place. But it is always a big NOOOOOO. We like that it is small, easy and very beachy. Not to mention the space to play cricket, touch and for friends to pitch tents. It is about relaxing and getting away, not having to maintain a large flash home.

We hope you enjoy our place like we do and can relax, unwind and have some quality time with family and friends.

What makes this property unique

Easy, relaxing, ability to walk or bike to everything. No need to use a car.
