About this property

Set in native bush our bach is a fabulous place to get together working well for either 2 families (not suitable for under 5's) or couples. Both the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms have a bathroom, one with shower and the other with a bath so you each have your privacy.
The bunk room downstairs however is accessed via the queen bedroom so something to bear in mind.
It is drenched in sun with stunning water views over the bay. The north facing deck is sheltered and captures the last of the sunshine making it an ideal spot for outdoor dining. The enclave of glow worms at the end of our driveway is a must see at night.
A private bush track takes you to the secluded beach below which is safe for swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding. There is a mooring and 10 foot dingy provided and boat launching is just a 10 minute drive away.
There is a waterski lane in the bay if you wish to ski, biscuit or wakeboard.
The Te Mahia Lodge shop is a short meander down the private road and you can book fishing trips here.
The Queen Charlotte Track offers access to many other bays and there are several shorter walks off the main track. The Te Mahia to Anikiwa section is open to mountain biking year round.
Note: the private drive in to our bach is quite narrow so not suitable for towing in large boats

Extras: Cleaning NZ$100.00 per stay

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels) and leave our house tidy on your departure

Superb bach in a beautiful bay

We came here for some peace and quiet, and this bach was perfect. It's very well equipped with 4 bedrooms, space for 9 people. The open plan living room and kitchen is above the trees facing west, overlooking a sheltered bay. There's a private beach and a kayak and dinghy are provided. Whilst we could have stayed in every day and just enjoyed the peace and quiet, the bach is close to Queen Charlotte Track and we made a walk to Onahau Lookout with epic views across both Queen Charlotte Sound and Kenepuru/Pelorus Sounds. The next day we walked to Mistletoe Bay. Coffee was enjoyed at Te Mahia resort and Mistletoe Bay. There's no wifi at the bach but there's some 4G cellphone signal. Overall we really enjoyed staying here and will definitely come back if the opportunity arises!
