About this property

This is the one, pristine kiwi bach by the water!

Only steps to the water, safe for all water activities, this property has amazing views across to the dunes or to the night lights in Opononi, a short five minute drive away. Set on 1/2 acre of flat land with nice easy care gardens with a large deck, your options are endless. Fishing at the point, a 10 minute walk away is a local spot for catching dinner, kayaking right in front of the bach, numerous bushwalks, reading books, watching sunset/sunrises, looking out for seals, orcas, collecting pippi's, cockels or scallops when the tide is out or simple crab hunting to name a few. Koutu Point Boulders are an attraction that most visitors to the area see, learn about Opo the Dolphin who attracted thousands of visitors in the 1950's, visit the monthly Saturday local market, cross the harbour to the Sand Dunes to spend the day sliding down the banks or cross the bar into big game fishing territory! With only one neighbour this property is very quiet with plenty of car parking space too. You will not be disappointed. A Four Square, Bar, Restaurant, Cafe, Information Shop, Garage, RSA, Ice Cream, Fish and Chips Shop and the Copthorne Hotel all close by to cater to every need.

Amazing location, watching the birds on the tidal flat, and the beautiful landscape. Cabin is very rustic, but we enjoyed our stay and had a very relaxing holiday.

Weekend visit

Instructions for location, turning on water pump and gas were very easy to follow. Lovely private, quiet place, nothing fancy but everything needed was there. Loved the outside area and would be a great place for families with children. Excellent place to relax and would really like to spend the whole weekend just staying in. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Rustic Kiwi Bach in a stunning location

We absolutely LOVED this little bach. It has everything we needed and the location was absolutely perfect. Its basic, yes, but it was cozy with the fire during a cold rainy day and Opononi township is a few minutes drive for a hot meal or icecream. Safe swimming, fishing and floundering. The kids loved it and so did we. Linda was a great host with fast responses to questions and was always available if we needed anything. It was the best 4 day break on the coast we've had in years. We would love to come back.

The location is absolutely beautiful. The bach itself could do with a good spruce up. But the spot is so gorgeous that most of the time you don't notice the living space.
