Our slice of family paradise is located at Mahanga which only has 60 baches. It is 10 minutes from Mahia, 40 minutes from Wairoa and 1 hour from Gisborne.

Beach front bach with views over the ocean and at the back of the bach there are views out over the hills that contain protected native forests.

Fantastic sandy beach for both swimming and surfing.

Pot belly stove upstairs to keep you warm along with heaters for winter. Lovely walks from the house up over native bush which is suitable in summer and winter.

Walk around the rocks to go diving for paua and crayfish or walk the other direction along the beach to the water mouth to hunt pippies, cockles and tuatauas. (7km each way).

There are loads for games and puzzles to play as there is no TV or internet, which we love! As it really is the simplicity of life! But if you need access just drive around to Mahia. Or you can get intermittent coverage from the beach.

There is also a local horse down the road to visit! Or hots pools 20 mins away.

Please note that we only accept week long stays.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels).
NOTE: We have a min of 5 days stay over summer time
