About this property

Within 25 minutes of leaving the CBD, you can be sitting on the bach verandah, gazing at the beautiful wild Cook Strait with only you, the seals and gulls for company. The bach is situated on the South Coast in a bay entirely by itself, nestling at the foot of a Karaka Tree grove. Exellent diving and fishing, enjoy walks along the shoreline or take in the view from the farm tracks above the bay. The Bach is totally off grid, it has solar lighting, gas for cooking and hot water, there is no fridge so please bring ice for the chillybin. Please don’t bring anything that needs plugging in!
The Bach has great views, amazing night skies and an abundance of fresh air so pack a jacket!

5 star!

The owners of abigail bay Bach went above and beyond to ensure I had a nice relaxing weekend away. They were very accomodating and helpful - even meet me at the gate to open it when I struggled with the keypad due to my eyesight. Will definitely return 😊

Just the ticket!

2nd visit. Amazing view, comfy bed, fabulous shower....stars were amazing....saw a whale rear out of the sea and crashed down with such force....so exciting. Loved watching the ships passing at night all lit up. We will be back.

Beautiful bach/fantastic location

We got really lucky with beautiful still weather and visiting during a time that the beach road was closed to anyone but residents. The bach was comfortable and so nicely decorated. We thought it was a little on the expensive side considering you had to clean and pack out your rubbish at the end of the stay, but the hosts were lovely. They came down to help immediately when there was a problem with the water flow and sorted it without any fuss. Brilliant stay, we will be back!
