About this property

The Green Bach opposite beach- quirky and great for groups and families

Quintessential kiwi bach located across the road from a beautiful stretch of Omāpere beach, with a track opposite the house leading directly to the shore.
The two upstairs bedrooms have stunning views of the sea and dunes. Downstairs you will find the original 1960’s kitchen, a double bedroom, as well as open plan living and dining. There is also a small playroom and large chalkboard for the kids. This quirky bach was formerly a home, cafe, backpackers and windsurfing school and perfect for large groups and extended family holidays.
The large, fenced, partly covered deck is perfect for drinks or a BBQ on a balmy summer's evening.
The house is the perfect base for exploring the beautiful and historic Hokianga, with plenty of walking, water sports and sightseeing on your doorstep.
Please note: Linen hire is available on request for an additional fee (duvets, pillows and blankets are provided)

This was our second stay at Green Bach, and although it's nothing flash, there have been so many improvements since our last visit in 2018. Great place to stay with plenty of room and a very sweet cat.

Great NZ Batch Experience!
This is a great little batch in Omapere. Perfect for a batch-holiday getaway. Great location with a short walk to the beach and a 2 min drive to a 4-Square in Opononi. It's basic, but very livable. Be prepared that there is only really stand-up showers outside - but they are fine. The one issue we had was linens aren't included so you have to bring your own or rent. Renting was a little difficult as we were coming from overseas and the landlord would only accept a bank-transfer. Overall though, great place to stay!

Quintessential kiwi Bach
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Bach had everything we needed, and was in a lovely quiet spot with lots of privacy. The only thing lacking was the WiFi and mobile network connectivity, but when you’re on holiday that’s not a bad thing!

Kia ora, It was a pleasure staying here. Sacha was great on communication and polite and friendly. The house was plenty big enough for two couples, a kuia and a pēpi. Check-in and check-out were seamless and it was the perfect location, right next to the breach. It’ll be dreamy staying here in summer and we hope to be back! Ngā mihi

Awesome stay for our family. Kids loved the playroom with all the toys provided. Kitchen had everything you would need, spacious bedrooms & parking spaces. Lounge and dining area was great for our family of 8. Enjoyed the outdoor showers after the beach. The kids also loved to help out feeding the friendly cat. We look forward to booking again in the future!

All round amazing
Bigger than we expected, absolutely loved the stay. Nice vintage home great for families. The owner in particular was accommodating, due to un-forseen circumstance we weren't able to make it on the date we booked for until a later date. She honoured our booking and allowed us to stay. 10/10 will definitely recomend to our family and friends. Would love to book again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Sacha Hickman

Host profile image
The Green Bach has been in our family for 20 years. We've had great holidays in the north and wanted to open the house for others to enjoy. Guests are able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Hokianga and have a true kiwi bach experience.

Why they chose this property

The Hokianga is spiritual and stunningly beautiful.

What makes this property unique

When you enter the Green Bach you feel like you are 'away from home'. The house is comfortable and clean, but we have been careful not to overly modernise it. We want guests to have an authentic kiwi bach experience, complete with outdoor showers, 1950's kitchen and vintage crockery.
