About this property

Great Getaway near The Estuary

This 3 bedroomed home which had a major make over in 2013, is the ideal holiday spot for people who love the options a huge private deck can give you when in holiday mode! The living space attaches to the sun filled deck with large bifolding doors giving great indoor outdoor flow, ideal for alfresco dining etc etc. There is plenty of off street parking available, perfect for those with a boat. ALL linen is provided in the base cost, with beds all made up prior to arrival.

You get a great location in the Robinson Rd area, where you'll find natural surroundings, peace & quiet, and an easy walk just around the corner to the estuary and all that it offers.

A flat easy 2km walk along the picturesque estuary takes you into town to all the shops, cafes, and restaurants as well as the ferry that can take you across to Ferry Landing. Also our Bach is situated very closely to the recently revamped Robinson Road boat ramps and trailer park, so no distance at all if you’re keen to take your boat or kayak out. Or just take a nice walk along the estuary; Mum, Dad, and the kids will love this area. A great walking track, where when the tide is out, offers a tyre swing out over the water (our young grandchildren love this!). Another huge green area is just 1 house away as well, making it an ideal spot for the kids to run round in. The open air Community Swimming Pool is also nearby at the local school.

This house has a heat pump and great insulation (all windows double glazed) which keeps the house warm and cozy during the winter months.

Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only.
Section is not completely fenced, may not be suitable for young children.

Extras: Cleaning Required, NZ$100.00 per stay.
Please note ALL Linen is included in our price, a reflection of our cleaning fee. This includes sheets, and towels. This is especially helpful when travelling by plane, and luggage is limited.

Fantastic holiday house

We had a fantastic time in the house. Whitianga is a super charming town, close to many beautiful beaches, and the cottage is in a great location within walking distance of the town center. It was clean, and everything was provided. Lovely garden and cozy seating areas. Excellent value for money. We enjoyed it so much, thank you!

Whitianga mini break

Had a lovely stay at the bach. Was a really lovely place and quite central to everything. Our only minor negative comment would be the mattresses in a couple of the bedrooms were really uncomfortable and more games or kayaks would be a great addition. Thank you. We really recommend the bach.

Fantastic Week In Whitianga

We have just had the best week stay at this bach, in fact it’s more like a home away from home, everything you would need is there and it is immaculately clean and tidy. We have a boat and there was ample off street parking for our boat and ute. Robinson Road Boat Ramp is just around the corner probably a one minute drive which made launching so easy. The owner Alison has been so friendly and accommodating that we are already planning our next holiday, thank you again for a wonderful week.
