About this property
In the heart of the park
Perfect place to get away from it all, the small township of Torrent Bay has around 45 permanent dwellings most of which are empty through the year. The bay livens up in the summer when most of the properties are used which gives a friendly atmosphere. Kid safe beaches and lagoon, lots of bush walks on your doorstep. Enjoy the feeling of settling down to a refreshing drink while the day trippers are rushing off to board a water taxi. There are 2 homes side be side so larger groups can be catered for. Due to being off grid there is no power available in the units, with the exception of lighting and the fridge freezer. Mobile reception is also patchy, but can usually be found on the front beach, with vodaphone network being better that spark. There is a pay phone in the shed by the jetty with free local calls. Starlink is now available at both properties.
Sunday Star Times had an good article, on Torrent Bay, on the stuff web site back in February which can still be searched. "Heavenly, despite the sandy togs"
Extras: Linen (Optional, NZ$40.00 per person);
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;
