About this property

Opoutere - Nat's Place

Nat's Place started life as a basic little Kiwi bach in 1959. Since then it has been extended and modernised several times and now comprises a kitchen area, living room, lounge, bathroom, four bedrooms and two decks. A complete new kitchen has recently been installed and the dining room and living room furniture upgraded.
Just ten minutes drive from Whangamata. Parking right at the door. Relax on the deck and enjoy the stunning views of the estuary - the views change with the weather, time and tide. Go swimming straight out in front of the bach or walk or drive down to the surf beach. Climb School Hill for spectacular views out to Slipper Island and beyond. Enjoy boating on the estuary - the bach is directly opposite the boat ramp - or try fishing from the little jetty.
Special conditions:
The price listed is for 2 adults. There is an additional charge of $20 per day for each extra adult and $15 per day for school-aged children. Pre-schoolers are free.

Extras:
Linen: Optional, for a $15 per person flat fee. Contact us after your booking has been confirmed if you would like to have linen provided.
Cleaning: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to clean the house and do the dishes before you leave. But in response to recent requests, we now offer the option of having the bach cleaned after you leave, for a fee of $70. Contact us after your booking has been confirmed if you would like to take up this offer.

A little gem in paradise.

We had such a restful and relaxing stay at Nats Place....for a second time. Nats Place is a stereotypical, good old fashioned kiwi beach bach with a mesmerising view over the Wharekawa Harbour. It has everthing needed to make your holiday comfortable. The stunning Opoutere beach is a leisurely walk away, or drive, and offers a 5km walk from one end to the other, or just stretch out and relax in the sun. Whangamata offers everything you could need on holiday and is only a 10 minute drive away.

Beautiful location

Lovely location and cute little bach with stunning views. Not the cleanest unfortunately with the bedding covers needing washing and the house generally not clean. The carport area had recycling and various bins with rubbish sitting around and in the way of car access. Not having curtains made it feel a little uncomfortable, especially when staying alone. This detracted from the stay.

Beautiful, relaxing stay!

A wonderful stay at Nats place. The Bach is super clean, kitchen is so well equipped with lots of bench space. Views to die for. Only used the main bedroom, bed was very comfy. We swam in estuary, did walks and collected pine cones for our winter fire. Wine on the deck in the evening watching the sunset…perfect. Would highly recommend!

A Wonderful Piece Of Kiwi Paradise

My wife and I stayed here for our summer holiday and would have loved to have stayed here longer. We couldn't stop taking in the tranquility of the area....getting the dishes done while looking at the view takes longer than it should. The bach has everything you could want for a holiday and we had excellent weather but could have happily nestled in reading a book if the weather had have bad. The owners seem like lovely people and very easy to communicate with. We have found our perfect summer holiday destination!

Rough start remedied quickly

The first people who arrived on Friday evening were surprised to see dirty items on the bench, on the floor, and the place unkempt as if people were still there. Thank you for your prompt response, and it was good to meet your cleaner and hear her apology face to face. Thank you for arranging a remedy so quickly. After the rough start we enjoyed our stay. Every person in our party of 9 slept well both nights, and we enjoyed our meals and the bathroom facilities. We played board games during the wet weather. This enabled us to attend an event nearby which was fabulous too. So thank you very much for a lovely stay. We would like to return sometime and check out Opoutere beach in better weather.
