Perfect accommodation in a great location

The quintessential kiwi bach experience. Great location, close to the beach. A welcoming and comfortable home for the weekend, we appreciated the extras like games, use of a BBQ, selection of DVD's, and comfy chairs on the deck to admire the view.Only negative was the shower draining very slowly - no issue once a backlog of hair had been removed.We had a fabulous weekend, thank you for sharing your bach.

Why they chose this property

Dad built this holiday home 30 years ago when his parents use to live next door. Many decades of memories with dad camping at Kaiaua as a kid and visiting the local mechanic where the neighbours big black shed is now
