Kiwi Classic - Matapouri Bay

Step back into your memories of old-school summers at the beach. This one is truly a Kiwi Classic.
 Room for the whole family, you'll be cosy but well set in this spot. Ample backyard for cricket or space to park the boat. 
You won't know you've lost the car keys for days as everything is within walking distance, - the beach just two minutes out the gate and the general store with everything you need, coffee, milk, ice cream and cold beer for the BBQ -= the stunning Matapouri Bay, one of the most beautiful white sandy beaches on the Tutukaka Coast is moments away.

Open plan living with 3 bedrooms that comfortably sleep 7. The main bedroom has 1 x Queen bed.  Bedrooms 2 and 3 are off the main kitchen dining area with curtained privacy - set up with bunks - one double bunk on the bottom, single on top, and the other bedroom with 1 x single bunk.
This charming bach has full kitchen facilities,  and extras such as games and puzzles to keep everyone entertained in the evenings. Cook a feast on the BBQ and lounge on the outdoor furniture in the private, sunny backyard. This is a great place to bring your children and the family dog (pet fees apply).  Smart TV and stereo in the lounge to keep those backyard BBQ tunes playing.

Daughters Wedding!
We had a lovely stay in this lovely NZ bach. It had everything we needed for out vacation, but was kept in a really kiwi style. We opted for hiring linen and getting it cleaned afterwards, so it made it a very relaxing holiday. Thanku

Traditional kiwi batch
We had a great time. Matapouri is an awesome place. Batch was a bit tight for 6 adults- teenagers, but still enjoyed it. Very close to beach and big garden for doggies to run around.

Watch out for hidden fees
While the house was a simple character kiwi bach as expected and we enjoyed our stay, it was really disappointing when I received a $145 receipt for linen after having paid the advertised price. Be careful of dishonest hidden fees, I was told this fee was “mandatory for health and safety reasons” which obviously makes no sense, and I got no response when I asked for an explanation. Would not use bookabach again.
