About this property

Kairakau Hideaway close to beach!

Kairakau Beach, fifty minutes from Hastings, thirty-five minutes to local shops and twenty minutes to the country pub. This is the ultimate getaway. Small sandy beach, suited to families, with a stunning backdrop of rocky hills. The community tennis court, estuary, and safe streets make it perfect for kids to do their own thing. Bring the boat and fishing rods. Plenty of native bush to encourage bird song and a sense of getting away from it all.

Special conditions:
Minimum stay 2 nights
- Bring your own linen and towels, duvets provided.
please vacate property by 10.30am .


NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave. Please bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels).
