About this property
Water Front Magic On Maraetai Bay 4min drive to Sunset Beach
Classic Kiwi Bach
Situated in Maraetai Bay, Port Waikato—known for its stunning sunsets and relaxed beach lifestyle.
• Waterfront position ( steps from the water) with views over the reserve which includes a great playground and public electric BBQ
• Ideal for families and holidaymakers seeking stunning views and an everchanging vista.
Our much-loved family bach — owned for over 60 years and full of character, comfort, and coastal charm. Come and enjoy the ever changing views & Coastal Fun. Lots of activities happening at the Port over Xmas/ New Year. Look out for the notice board as you drive down Maunsell Road.
🛏️ Bach 1 bedroom 1 bed
The main bach has been renovated and features a large queen bedroom.
Optional Extra ( need more beds)
Just across the deck, the separate bunkroom offers a double bed, a set of bunks, and a king single — perfect for families or groups which is available at a per person per night rate. 4 beds sleeps 5
🍽️ Open-Plan Living with a View
The modern kitchen includes a full oven, cooktop, microwave, and air fryer. The open-plan lounge and dining area flows onto a large sun-drenched deck with sweeping river views — the perfect spot to relax while people watching, dine, or watch the kids play in the nearby playground.
🎣 Adventure at Your Doorstep
Whether it’s fishing, kayaking, swimming, or skimboarding, the river is just steps away. Or simply unwind on the deck and soak up the sun. There is never a dull moment. Kids (and grown-ups) will love flying kites or perhaps capturing drone footage over the dunes.
🏄 Explore the Coast
Sunset Beach — known for its surf and stunning sunsets — is less than 2km away, with world class lifeguards on duty to keep you safe between the flags and plenty of rockpools and shells to explore. There’s also a flying fox and playground near the local tennis court (bring your racquets!).
🚶 Walks & Wildlife
Enjoy scenic walks over the dunes or along the cliff tops, with plenty of photo opportunities. A boat ramp, local dairy, and takeaway shop are nearby, and Tuakau and Pukekohe are just a 35-minute drive for supplies. Rainbows End and Manukau city approximately an hours drive away
🎲 Rainy Day Ready
A great selection of board games ensures fun for all ages, whatever the weather.
