About this property

Classic Kiwi Bach in Pohara

This cosy kiwi bach is situated in the heart of Pohara. A stones throw from one of the safest swimming beaches in New Zealand. A general store, cafes and restaurants all within a few minutes walk and a great place to base yourself if you are looking to trip around the Abel Tasman and 10 minutes drive from the Takaka township.

The bach itself is compact open plan living that comfortably sleeps 4 adults and 2 children.
Bed 1 with a Double bed and bunks
Bed 2 with a Queen bed
There is also a porta cot and high chair

The large section is fully fenced with a sun deck out the back and a deck off the front and plenty of room for parking and a boat. The boat ramp is a 5 minute drive away if you want to head out for some snapper or dolphin watching!

There is a seperate bathroom/laundry, no bath. The bach runs off rain water so no drinking the tap water and be mindful of excessive water use. Other than that the place has everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable kiwi summer holiday.

Plenty of outdoor furniture, bean bags, BBQ etc.

Fantastic Batch

Wonderful property in Pohara. We stayed for 6 nights and loved it. Very well equipped with an amazing outdoor area that can be opened up or closed in depending on the weather. Beach is just across the road and down a little allyway and there are a number of bars/restaurants within a couple of minutes walk. Overall one of the best places we have stayed.

A little gem

Such a perfect for our weekend away! Everything we needed was there. The house was well presented, tidy, and clean! Warm and cosy during the cooler evenings. Big garden for the kids to run around. Just perfect - we didn’t want to leave.

Good for couples.

Nice clean compact house. We liked the outside covered deck. The onlt disadvantage is the traffic noise. Beds ok but a bit too soft.. great bathroom and kichen.can take your wTer bottles tp the campground to fill at the kitchen there. Not too far from Tata Beach forgood swimming.

Great kiwi Bach experience

Short walk to lovely Pohara beach and quick drive to Tata beach. Both great places to swim which we did daily sometimes twice. Long beach walks in the morning and evening, glorious sunsets and some wonderful meals - home cooked, local venues and in nearby Takaka. Well appointed home with good linen and staple supplies. Obviously a well loved treasured family Bach.
