'Time Out' Beach Front getaway with amazing sea views
Located in a small, peaceful East Coast beach settlement, our beach front bach is the ultimate place to stay. The house is purpose- built for the view. It is well set up and comfortably decorated, with lovely macrocarpa flooring and features. It is ideal for two couples or a large family, or even better for a romantic weekend getaway. There are three bedrooms, two with sliding doors opening on to the front deck that have queen beds. The back room has a double bed and a single bed. The well-equipped kitchen will allow you to cook with ease, or fire up the webber bbq. The dining table seats eight and the lounge area caters for all. There is a Metro, free-standing log-fire to cosy up to on winter nights with plenty of wood supplied to keep it stoked up. The Wifi and Smart TV caters for those who can’t go without it, but there are plenty of books and games to entertain the young and old. The large bathroom / laundry consists of a shower, toilet and vanity, with a tub, washing machine and dryer. Spend time on the sheltered 60 sq metre deck with uninterrupted sea views or play cricket on the lawn of the half acre, fully fenced section. From here it is a quick stroll out a private gate onto the beach reserve. You can choose to swim, kayak and play in the stream -ideal for small children, or head on to the safe swimming beach within the bay. When you have finished, rinse off under the hot outdoor shower. For the hunters and gatherers, Whangaehu has an abundance of paua and crayfish. The natural reef makes a perfect launching site for boats. It is a well known area for catching terakihi, blue cod and groper for the more adventurous. At low tide you can walk for miles, exploring the rugged coastline in both directions.

Such a beautiful spot. Absolutely loved it. Was perfect for all ages. Safe swimming spot for our 4 year old. There was always something to do. Will definitely go again!
Lovely well stocked little bach with everything we needed, our kids (boys 5 and 7) loved all the toys, books and outdoor play things - thank you. Loved the easy access to the beach.
Very well-equipped, comfortable and warm bach with excellent check-in instructions. Dogs loved the property and beach - thanks for allowing them to stay. Although the property is fully fenced as described, it’s worth knowing dogs can easily get out (and the neighbours can get in). Great place to relax and get away from it all
Lovely batch with absolutely everything you need, beach only a few mins walk away, beautiful views, so quiet and peaceful, will definitely be back again.
We came and stayed here for just 2 nights but we came away feeling so relaxed and content.
We loved seeing the ocean from the kitchen table and taking the 1min walk to the beach.
The house.had everything we needed and it felt like our home too.
Cant wait to come back 😊

Beautiful escape and memories
We absolutely loved our stay. What an amazing spot and view. The house was so comfortable and full of everything you could possibly need for a great holiday.
Beautiful spot view of the sea from the house was amazing. The house had everything we needed and really comfortable beds. We normally go camping but this was so must more less stressful. Thanks again hope to stay again soon.
A great bach in a beautiful location. It had everything we needed - a fireplace, pet friendly, a great view and nice wintry weather. Very quiet - so we had a lovely few days away.
Great place to visit. Quiet and isolated which was just what we wanted.
Great time playing board games, and sitting by the fire.
Excellent bach. Would happily stay here again in future.
Super relaxing spot to stay. The bach has everything you need. Amazing outlook over the bay. Great place to take some "time out" from our busy lives & reconnect.
Lovely Holiday home with big fenced garden and backing onto beach.Views are beautiful as are the nearby beaches and farmland..It is so wonderful to be able to take your dog along....
What a fantastic Bach - so quiet and peaceful and direct access to a lovely beach. So nice to be able to take our dogs too, there’s even a kennel. The Bach is very well equipped, has comfy beds and sofas and there is a 2nd bathroom in a separate cabin. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Time_Out
We purchased this section when our first child was a baby. It was a bare block of land that we slowly planted and developed. The bach was a labour of love, with the floor alone taking a year to lay and the house taking nearly 3 years to be habitable and another 5 to be completed fully.
