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.

Smoking allowed outside only

Beautiful View

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.

Kiwi bach

Great spot bach as advertised had all the bits and pieces - along with the cobwebs !!!- needs some tlc but comfortable enough. Only gripe would be bed linen was not very nice - my sheets looked dirty and i changed them, and pillows need renewing.. we could not access the kayak as none of the keys seemed to fit,
