Great to have your feedback, very much appreciated. We are preparing the Bach for late 2021 to be able to rent the upper floors separately or combined with the apartment. This would add three queen beds to this listing and be a great set up for multiple families or generations.
Great spot close to harbour for swimming and walking dog. Easy checkin process and quick and fast communication with owner. Modern apartment with everything you need.

Thanks for the feedback and review. Very much appreciated.
Nice location short walk to the Estuary and quiet street.We could also take our wee dog.Lucky for us the house upstairs was empty so no banging through the ceiling but unfortunately our stay was not quiet….the house close behind was building and huge trucks were coming an going non stop and using the beach house land for all the vehicles (though plenty of room for our car) nobody’s fault the neighbours were lovelyJust doing major renovations before selling their property.

Thanks for your review, and apologies again for the noise during your stay. We’d chatted about this earlier in the year via the booking platform, but I wanted to close the loop here as well.
Sorry the neighbour’s renovation work disrupted the peace. As you mentioned, it was outside anyone’s control, and we really appreciate how understanding you were and taking it in your stride.
Thanks again for staying with us.
For guests in early 2026, the talented team at Edward White Architects have designed a new home across the road, which is now in its final construction phase, with interior work and landscaping to complete. This house is quite some distance from BEACHHOUSE_Whangamata.
Bookabach seemed to force me to join up. When I tried to get the owner’s messages another way they said I didn’t have permission. So we were stuck outside till the neighbours came to our rescue - contacted owner and got us in. Owner was concerned to keep us warm on an exceptionally cold night. So aside from Bookabach an good experience.

Morning Ellen, thank you for your review.
We’re sorry to hear about the messaging app trouble.
I’m arranging for a contact phone number to be added to the door and a sign installed to help future guest who might be locked out of the messaging app.
All the best for 2022.
Thank you
A great property and walking distance to everything. Beach at the end of the road; shops and cafes a couple of blocks away. Compact with 2 adults and 3 teenagers but it works really well.
A delightful property that is clean, tidy, quiet and handy to the beach. Highly recommend!

Generally speaking, we enjoyed our stay. Staying during winter poses the risk of poor weather, which meant we stayed indoors more than we usually would for a trip away. This would be fine usually, but please be mindful that this accomodation is located underneath the main home and so if the host is staying there at the same time, it is loud above. Unfortunately, this tainted our stay a little as it was more difficult to relax.
The accomodation is located very close to town, within walking distance to the beach and water. This was excellent.
It is a well equipped home and the bed was very comfortable and shower pressure was ideal.
The host was very friendly, helpful and communication was easy.
Fantastic apartment, clean and had everything we needed. Great to have a full cooker and full size fridge. Shower excellent and very spacious. Bed very comfortable. Located in a great area and walking distance to beach and town. Will be back to stay again.

Brad and his family could not have been more helpful and kind. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable. The apartment was even better than we had hoped for. Everything was sparkling clean. We were close to the water and the shops. We can't wait to come back to stay.

Thanks for your review and kind words. We’re so pleased you had a great holiday and look forward to seeing you again.
Accomodation had everything we needed at an awesome location with Harbour views. Nice and tidy property that had a motel/hotel feel - a good bonus having linen and towels included.
My name is Brad, and with a team we manage the bookings, maintenance, cleaning and making improvements to the property, with the goal of making BEACH HOUSE_Whangamatā the ultimate beach get away for your family and ours.
Funds from paying guests are put back into the property to help fulfill this goal.
This beach house was built by my parents, Simon and Judy. We have holidayed in Whangamata for 45+ yrs and we want other families to enjoy this amazing holiday location as we do.
Why they chose this property
The location next to the harbour and between the marina and wharf
What makes this property unique
The flexibility of using the apartment on its own, or combining with the beach house for more sleeping configurations.
