About this property

The Yellow Bach on Campbells Beach; kayaks wifi sky sport Netflix sleeps 4

Welcome to the Yellow Bach!

Four people can enjoy a sandy, safe and tidal beach just 80 metres across the grass. Front row position. Lovely sea and summer sunset views from the dining table. Seaside children's playground is close by.
There are some really nice and safe paddles within the bay, up two mangrove creeks as well as around the coast.

A little under an hour north of Auckland, Campbells makes for a great escape place.
By car, Matakana is 7 minutes, Tawharanui Regional Park and Sandspit both 15 minutes and Warkworth supermarket 20 minutes.

Campbells Beach is a hotspot for birdlife. Listen to the kaka, bellbirds and tuis in the day time, kookaburras (true) at dawn and dusk and an owl at night.

I’d book again

Modern facility’s. Comfortable beds. Still felt like a family bach even though it had the comfort of being in a home away from home. The playground across the road is such a great bonus for the kids. Great location. Loads of friendly native birds. Was cosy for a winter stay,

We were spending time in the area to potentially look at buying a bach. Loved the greater area so much we’re in the process of buying a larger property and moving. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the yellow bach as ideal for a break away or holiday

We had a wonderful few days at the Yellow Bach. It is well equipped with a wonderful view of the water. Everything was clean and tidy. We enjoyed some mandarins from the abundant fruit trees and even found a few cherry tomatoes to add to our salad. Thanks so much!

Paradise

Fantastic spot for doing nothing but relaxing with the view. Only thing is it says sleeps 5 but there are two queen beds and a leather couch so in reality sleeps 4, not suitable for a group of 4 people unless couples. However we loved it.

About the host

Hosted by David Pooch

Host profile image
We live on the North Shore and have five adult children and eight grand children. We have had enormous fun over the years at the bach with the kayaks, fishing, lawn cricket and so on.

Why they chose this property

We bought this place because it was right on the water, level for grand children to play and only an hour from home. We also like the fact that there is lots of bird life there. Tui, wood pigeon, oyster catchers, grey heron, owl and even kookaburra (true, they migrated from Kawau and you can hear them early morning and in the evening). We often hear kaka flying overhead too.

What makes this property unique

Just one hour from Auckand, quiet, on the beach, and a hotspot for bird life. 7 minutes drive to Matakana. Newly renovated, excelllent kitchen and dishwasher, cosy and warm. Children's playground very close by.
