About this property
Just a short stroll to the water or into town
For the weekend getaway you can't beat this little bach which has just been renovated and comes with all you might need for just a couple of nights, or a week long stay!
Our bach is privately owned and the comforts of your own home have been replicated here.
On your arrival just be prepared to just relaxing as everything will be taken care of for you. This bach is all inclusive with linen, towels and extra bedding if you wanted a couple of extras on futons in the living area.
A short stroll to the closest beach of only 150 meters and a walk over the hill to the town of Paihia and ferry crossing to Russell.
The bach has an outdoor area (decking) and grassed area (that over time will be landscaped). There is also car parking.
No need to pack ample of clothing for the extra long stays as there is a washing machine within the bach. For those rainy days, indulge in a wide range of dvds available for your use.
Special conditions:
Some pets accepted. Message for further details and information.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$65.00 per stay); Linen (included);
