About this property
Absolute beachfront at Pataua South
Our bach is simple but has everything you need for a fantastic, peaceful beach holiday.
Perfect for kids and families, with a stunning location right on the water.
You can even bring your dog!
Spacious section: Plenty of parking on the huge backyard – or set up for a game of cricket.
Unbeatable location: Two surf beaches within walking distance and a safe tidal estuary for swimming right outside the front door.
Convenient amenities: Less than 10 minutes to the supermarket, bakery, café and liquor store, and only 20 minutes’ drive to Whangarei City.
Boaties welcome: Just 100m from the local boat ramp – bring the boat and make the most of the coast.
This is a much-loved kiwi bach – nothing fancy, just the essentials in an incredible setting for making lasting family memories.
No wi-fi, no TV, no phone (but awesome coverage with One NZ or Spark if you want to hook up yourself).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle Brown
I’m from Auckland, married with two children and two gorgeous puppies. We all enjoy our family holidays at Pataua, and have fabulous memories over the 25 years we have owned the bach.
Why they chose this property
We love the location, that we can step off our deck onto the sand. Hearing the tide… so peaceful. Crystal clear water, beautiful walks and close enough to everything else you may need.
What makes this property unique
It’s like going back in time with all the home comforts. Love our Pataua South holidays!
