About this property

BBBach-Biggest Beach Bach Sleeps 28 + Squash Court. Price is for 10 guests

Sleeps 28.
Amazing views over the lake in 1 direction, and over to the mountain in the other.
BBBach is great if it rains as there is plenty of space to play inside. The Squash court doubles as a badminton or sports area.
BBQ on the deck overlooking the lake.
Peaceful walks around the lake.
Close to lots of surf breaks, with Surf Highway 45 and some of the world’s top surf spots very near. Some of these are just at the end of the road.
Boat ramps close by.
Mt Taranaki for snowboarding, skiing, or tramping.
BBBach is accessible with a wet area shower, accessible bathroom, kitchen, and deck.
Family groups and clubs often want to holiday together, and BBBach with its great spaces is ideal, there is still plenty of privacy if you want it. There is only one group booking at a time.
There is a peaceful walk around the lake, and Opuanke Beach is just 2 minutes down the road or across the reserve. Plus it's only a short stroll into town where there are is a good collection of shops, restaurants and cafes, 2 supermarkets and even a movie theatre. Opunake is a nice friendly farming community, well worth exploring.

Amazing destination for a large group

We loved everything about our trip! We enjoyed the proximity to the beach, the lake and to the reserves! We really enjoyed the facility, it enabled space for different groups to find space as well as enough space for everyone to gather and enjoy a meal together. We had families from Wellington, Auckland and Northland and everyone loved it!

Great, fun place

This place was amazing. We were 14 adults and 6 children. There were plenty of things to entertain not only the kids but also the adults. Not to mention the large kitchen and dining table, making it easy to cook for such a large group. The host was also very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

Excellent for large groups

We had a brilliant time at this property, with 14 people staying and room for quite a few more. The bach is furnished more than adequately, especially in the kitchen with everything you need. Sports equipment and squash court was brilliant, and the bach would be great with kids.

Great spot for large groups

The space at BBBach was awesome for our group of 5 families. Everyone was well entertained with the squash court, huge dining room table and plenty of toys & puzzles. Kitchen also well supported our large group with the three fridges, 2 ovens and dishwashers. Also pressure in the showers was amazing.

Girls weekend

This was our second winter girls weekend at this venue, and again it was absolutely fantastic. Beth is a wonderful host and everything was so easy. Communication was great. The bach is so well equipped, it had everything we needed and more. Having multiple fridges, ovens, and cooking equipment makes life so much easier with a large group.

Perfect for family/large groups

Group of 15, ages 1yr - 77yrs. 5 kids. Perfect place. Baby gates to keep kids safe. Seperation between living and sleeping spaces to allow for naps. So much to do, games, puzzles, bikes w/helmets, wet suits even! Beach so close. Lake closer. 3 fridge freezers, 2 dishwashers, loads of crockery and kitchen additions. We will be back! With less of our own stuff because it's all there already!

Something for absolutely everyone whatever the weather!

THE MOST AMAZING ACCOMMODATION EVER! This property had everything we could imagine for every age group. Our family group ranged from 15 to 83. The squash court kept us amused till all hours of the night. We could all play according to our ability (or lack of)! There were all sorts of games and toys. The kitchen had everything we could wish for and the lounge had enough comfortable seating for us to all to sit together and commune. Also being able to take our pets was a massive bonus. Our family had an amazing time and we will definitely be back. Thanks so much.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a mix of beach, lake, bush, and quiet areas. Having the squash court sealed the deal for us, with having a very active and squash loving family.

What makes this property unique

Located inside the property is squash, badminton, table tennis and more. A huge collection of board games and Wasgij jigsaws. Quiet lakeside location.
