About the host
Hosted by Lynley Webb
Welcome to our family bach. Before buying our bach at Hampton Rd our family had been holidaying in Whangamata for 15+ years. We have three children and a very boisterous dog. There is so much to do here you will never get bored. Secret beaches, swimming holes, mountain biking, golf, awesome shopping and cafes - even a movie theatre!
Why they chose this property
We love the outdoors so this little spot right next to the river with a peaceful, beautiful setting is perfect. Kayaking or paddle boarding is so easy directly off the jetty. We enjoy a day at the busy main beach and then look forward tocoming home for a quick outdoor shower and a soak in the spa to relax. If you love birds then you will enjoy sitting on the jetty watching them all. If you would like a place to entertain your friends then our 70m2 deck with outdoor furnitue and bean bags will be perfect for you. Just no loud parties please because we like our neighbours :)
