About this property
The Heart of Oakura Shops & 5-10 min walk to beach & river (cleaning incl)
Tucked away down a drive in the heart of Oakura, lies this old style Hansel and Gretel house. All you need is to stroll up the drive and you have all the funky little cafes, restaurants, bars and 4 square at your finger tips. Or just a 5- 10 minute stroll down the road, you can soak up the beach vibes, sitting at a popular restaurant on the beach called Black Sands, sipping a cold wine or beer while watching the children play on the sand or watching the sunset. If the beach is not where you are at, you can walk a short walk and you will be at the river. Which ever takes your fancy, it is all accessible. If you are up for the surf, just down the road on state highway 45 are all the popular surf breaks.
When you walk into this Hansel and Gretel style house you will feel like its your home away from home. It is not the brand spanking new home that makes you feel like you cannot relax, It is a home that allows you to be you and have the sense of relaxation while on holiday.

About the host
Hosted by Mel
Hi everyone welcome to our family home located in the heart of the village shops, Oakura.
We are a family of 5. My name is Mel and I am your host.
A bit about us. We have had our home on book a bach for the last few years and thoroughly enjoyed sharing it with you all. We live in it every other week and love spending time at the beach with the kids.
But over the last 18 months I have been going through an extremely hard cancer journey and have had to put book a bach on hold.
I am now strong enough to open up our beautiful home once again to share with you all.
Oakura is a beautiful place to live and holiday. The people here are super friendly, and the beach and the river is a short 5-10 minute walk.
We can't wait to share our cosy family home with you. Looking forward to having you stay. The house is cleaned and disinfected by myself, so I know it's done properly.
Warmest Regards
Mel and family
