About this property

Absolute beachfront, this is a classic sunny beach bach with most mod cons and all the essentials, yet it retains the relaxing character of days gone by. This bach is situated in the very best part of Raumati Beach, accessed by an easy 2 minute walk from your car park. The trade off for your short walk is an unsurpassed level of privacy with generous deck areas providing sheltered sunbathing opportunities even on a windy day. Nothing to carry in but food, drink and clothing as everything else is there in abundance. Located on popular Wharemauku Road only a minute from Raumati Beach township with its cafes, restaurants, great shops, children's park and Marine Garden.
It also has a separate outside bedroom with bunks on the back deck. Whilst this means there is ample space for 2 adults and 3 children, we don't recommend the bach for a 4 adult stay.
If you are looking for a 5-star stay in Raumati, this bach is not for you. However if you are looking for the traditional Kiwi beachfront bach experience, then the Wharemauku Retreat is highly recommended.

Relaxing break listening to the waves crashing

This is the third time we have stayed at this cozy bach. It is the perfect weekend getaway within touching distance of the beach, which can be spied from the main bedroom and deck. The weather was great - the icing on the cake. Would happily stay again.

Lovely & private bach close to Wellington

The bach is very private and offers a lovely view out onto the sea. Views of the neighbours are blocked out by bush/trees including 4 large Norfolk pines on the right hand side. It was a great place to stay for 3 nights with good walks in both directions down the beach. Would stay again. There’s a mini-oven and microwave but no full sized oven, so cooking pizzas or a roast is out of the question. We used the gas bbq for most meals. There’s a partially covered deck at the front and to one side and the bbq worked well - but we couldn’t get it to light when there was strong wind. Access is via a U shaped track that goes down towards the beach then across and then up a wooden boardwalk. There were lights on the boardwalk but we couldn’t get them to turn on, so (as the owner recommends) take a torch if you’re going to be coming/going in the dark. Only criticism was re cleaning - it would be good to have a list on site as to what the owners expect as I suspect some people miss the bit about guests needing to clean. The previous occupants to us hadn’t vacuumed - there was bits of pie pastry all over the floor/bench/bedroom and their dirty sheets/towels were still on the beds. They’d left to the bbq dirty and mini-oven covered in fat too. Was a bit annoying having to clean up their mess then ours as well.
