About this property

You can't get closer to the water if you tried

This bach is right on the water, and it's possible to catch fish from the deck! You can put the whitebait net out (in season), or just simply relax and look at the water. View from lounge is panoramic, from ocean around and up the river. A few minutes walk up beach for surf casting, kayak up river or if you are that inclined out to sea. West coast fishing at its best. 45 min from Waitomo caves, 15 min from Marokopa falls, Natural Bridge and bush walks.

Special conditions:
Smoking outside only. All butts to be removed, do not throw butts out on to the lawn.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/tea towels/sheets etc) and toiletries, and take your rubbish when you leave.

Minimum stay 2 nights for this property. Price includes first four people, additional people at $30/person/night, up to the maximum of six.

A view while cooking dinner
We loved our stay. My elderly mum enjoyed the view of the beach from the comfort of the couch. I thoroughly enjoyed the view while cooking food. Kitchen has everything you need. Teenagers enjoyed being out in and on the water. And we all enjoyed abit of fishing at the beach and from the deck. Will book again.

Fabulous location, views were magnificent and changed through the day. Easy walks on the beach and around the village and a perfect “ out of the way” base to explore the area from.

Take me back
Always great family time at this bach - we come here couple times a year and enjoy every stay, its our home away from home. Best spot in marakopa, everything you need and the view and sunset is amazing. Great that the kids can just just down straight onto the sand and play in the water, while you are on the deck and can throw the rods straight off the deck at high tide. Communication is good and quick and Grant is always so easy and great to deal with.

Thanks again for sharing your fantastic bach with us. This is our 4th time and we loved it. Bach has everything you need and more with kayaks etc... but the best part is the view to wake up to everyday. Thanks again.

Amazing place to take our South African friends to showcase the beautiful nature we have here in New Zealand. The location was perfect for such an occasion. We will definitely be booking back next year. Longer this time. Thanks kind regards.
