Spectacular views of the Mercury Islands and on a clear day you can see as far as Great Barrier Island. January 2022 we were watching dolphins from our deck - pretty special views if I do say so myself! Our house sits at the front of our 2 acres - so very little traffic goes by as you have farm land all around you - however, it is still only a 5 minute walk to the beach!
Kuaotunu is a well kept secret - a small village on the seaside between Matarangi and Otama/Opito bays and just 16km from Whitianga.
Our bach is a great spot to just spend hours sitting on the deck listening to the tui and the bellbirds or get enthusiastic and go down to the beach for a walk. The boat ramp is a 2 minute drive and can be easily seen from the deck.
Locally we have a 7 day a week store that sells pretty much everything, a cafe that sells great coffee and a pizza place that makes mouth watering pizzas. Oh yes, and a fire station - and that's it! Not very many tourists come our way - but if you want a trip to somewhere a little more lively, Whitianga has a huge New World/Countdown, The Warehouse, Movie theatre and cafes galore. Special conditions: Pets may be possible. Outside dogs will be considered favourably.
House is ideal for families.
Plenty of water available for showers and washing down the boat.
Extras: Linen optionally hire - = NZ$20.00 per person; NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave however if you want someone to do your cleaning for you, please ask and I will see if one of our locals is available.

The pictures on this listing just do not do the listing justice! The views are amazing and the host was super easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay again!
Lovely property in a lovely spot. It was the perfect base to enjoy the local beaches and walks and then relax in comfort at the end of the day. We had a wonderful break and hope to stay here again.
Loved the place. Beautiful scenery, Well kept property,Great communication. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful house.Two suggestions. Missed the need to switch on hot water in the main house. Thought when we switched on the hot water in sleeep out it will take care of the house as wellHeat pump might warm the house quicker.
We had a lovely stay and loved the beautiful views from the deck. Perfect spot to explore the surrounding beaches. Quiet, peaceful and relaxing....thanks so much :)
This property was so lovely, the view from ghe deck was incredible, having the beach so close was lovely. All the amenities needed were there, Christine the owner was so helpful and quick to reply. Would love to stay there again!
Highly recommend this batch which is more like a cosy, warm inviting home with all the necessities.
Magnificent views, quiet surroundings, fresh air and peaceful atmosphere.
This was the perfect end to our travels. The views were spectacular, better than the pics. Beach was so close and the area was very peaceful and quiet. House was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Christine was very responsive and checked in on us to make sure we were all set. We absolutely loved our stay.
This beautiful home has breath taking views and is close to lovely beaches and great restaurants.Thank you for our wonderful stay. It was an amazing way to end our holiday in NZ. Thanks Christine for all your wonderful recommendations. We highly recommended this gem.
Had a wonderful time! Walked down to the beach every morning with coffees in hand, and wines on the balcony overlooking the ocean in the evening. Short drive to Luke's Kitchen and the cafe next door to it, which is just excellent. Also a short drive to new chums and Martarangi. Great place to stay while exploring the coromandel.
A beautiful property in pristine condition. The house was as described with lots of extras.
The views are sublime, beautiful sunny position with gorgeous well kept gardens.
Easy checkin, and everything was where it was said to be. Would definitely book again. Thanks Chris.
A lesser known beach, but well worth travelling the windy roads to get there. The house is located in a perfect spot, on the rise with impressive sea views. The house was clean and tidy and has everything you need to stay snug and warm. Lots to do exploring beaches - with endless white sand, bush walks and afterwards plenty of time to read books, board games and making Lego technics. Our host was excellent to deal with and all instructions were clear and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our break away.
A very comfortable and homely place to spend a week. Incredible views and a lovely local area with beautiful beach. Everything you need is there. The outside bedroom with shower/toilet is great for privacy. The one main downside is there is no hanging space in any of the rooms apart from 4 hooks in main bedroom.

About the host
Hosted by chrill450
We live in Hamilton and love to get to our bach as often as we can to relax, chase snapper and spend time on the deck just watching the sea. We also love to share our bach with others when we can’t get there - so if you want to stay somewhere that feels like home away from home - this could be it!
Why they chose this property
Although our bach is small and cosy, the deck and outstanding views made it a ‘must buy’ when we were looking for a ‘bolt hole’ in the Coromandel.
What makes this property unique
Short down hill walk to golden sandy beach with rocks at either end for climbing.
