About this property

The Gem in Ohiwa within the Bay of Plenty

A small and pleasantly basic kiwi bach. 36 square meters, plus an old school caravan in a lovely private beach estuary environment.

The perfect winter`s hide-a-way to recharge body and mind. And for the summer simply brilliant!

Very peaceful and quiet location right on the edge of Ohiwa Harbour close to the main channel. Fishing, shell fish, kayaking, surf beach, bush walks, sailing, kite surfing, glow worms and more all at your door step, everything you could ask for in a tranquil beach side location. Further enhanced by the ever changing moods of the tidal harbour lapping at the property boundary. Watch the bird life come and go, feeding with the changing tides.

A compact bach with fully equipped kitchen, sleeping is upstairs on the mezzanine floor. The mezzanine floor is accessed by a ladder staircase and contains a Queen bed and two single beds (one rolls under the other when not in use). This area has a very low ceiling height due to the steep roof pitch. Approx 1.6 meters at top of ladder up to 2 meters at the window. The second bedroom is a caravan which is accessed from the deck at the back of bach with queen sized bed and complete with plumbing, power (for fridge kettle, heater). The large wrap-around deck with table and chairs provides for outdoor living with relaxation the name of the game.

Smoking is outside only please.

25min drive from Ohope, 30min drive from Whakatane.

10min drive from Opotiki where there is a very good New World supermarket for all your supplies.

Special conditions:
A $40 surcharge applies to one night stays.

Smoking allowed outside only please.

A perfect isolation location!
This is the perfect Bach for us! Such friendly and helpful communication, and being right on the spit meant that we were out in the water all the time! My elderly mother loved watching us from the deck, and loved the bed in the caravan! We will be back.....
