About this property

Great views at the Point

Please note we do not supply linen, see below for further details.

Welcome to our clean and comfy family bach. One Tree Point is an attractive holiday location less than 2 hours from Auckland and 20 minutes from Whangarei.

With just a short stroll to the beach it is a great area for water activities such as swimming, boating, kayaking and fishing. The bach is a few minutes walk (100m) to a safe swimming beach and has lovely views of Whangarei Harbour and Mt Manaia.

The property is flat with off street parking for plenty of cars or your boat. We are centrally positioned, with "all tide" boat ramps located within 5 minutes on either side of the bach.

The facilities at Marsden Cove Marina include a fuel jetty and a free electric vehicle charging station. This is less than 2km away, has a fabulous café restaurant with great views of boats at their moorings and a selection of services and shops.

A 10 minute drive will take you to Ruakaka Town Centre where there is a small range of shops including: supermarkets, food retailers, medical services and personal care facilities. Should you desire a larger choice of restaurants, retail therapy, pampering, bar hopping or a movie night, then Whangarei City is a 30 minute drive. En route to Whangarei is Longview Estate (wine tastings at the right time of year may include 'White Diamonds', which has a cult following).

Special Conditions:
- Smoking is allowed outside only.
- Pets are welcome (with prior approval) if you clean up after them in every respect and ensure they keep off the furniture so the bach stays nice for all to enjoy, there are no fences.
- Deck has netting along the sides but small children should be supervised at all times.
- Duvets and blankets are provided and you are expected to bring your own linen such as sheets, towels and tea towels.
- Caravans and tents need prior approval, please email first.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to do the dishes, take your trash with you and bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels).

Great little bach with outstanding views, host was very contactable and obliging, very comfortable 2 bedroom accommodation, with everything you could wish for in the kitchen. Lovely sunny property. So close to everything, sea, convenience store, the cove and 4 square, best being the view looking out over the harbour.

Good position and amenities though could have benefitted from a fan and mossie repellent plug in. A very hot place in mid summer.

It was mainly good and well supplied though we were a little surprised about the hot water cupboard and believe that needs some attention.
