About this property

Whangapoua - 2mins walk to beach

Our holiday home has had a fabulous renovation. It has a new kitchen, new bathroom, new laundry with second toilet, new carpet throughout, repainted in lounge, kitchen, bathroom and laundry, gas hot water and hob.

A newly refurbed three-bedroom bach on the child-friendly Opera Place, just 2 minutes walk from the beautiful white sands of Whangapoua beach. You can see the beach access from the deck and watch the children out playing on bikes and scooters on the road.

The house has three bedrooms, a bathroom with shower, basin and toilet, an additional toilet and vanity in the stylish new laundry and an open-plan kitchen/living/dining. The kitchen is brand new with a F&P double dishdrawer, F&P built in oven, F&P plumbed fridge freezer for chilled filtered water and ice, gas hob, microwave and everything else you'd expect to find. There is a very large deck with adjustable louvres, outdoor furniture and Weber bbq, along with a heated outdoor shower.

The garage has a large Viking double kayak you can use, along with some other beach toys. Please bring your own life jackets.

Fibre internet and 55" TV. Portable sound system on breakfast bar with bluetooth connectivity.

Linen is not provided as standard. If you need to hire linen, please make an enquiry and I'll see what I can do :)

Time Flies is about 100m from the beach access and 5 minutes walk to the Whangapoua store. We’re also about 5 minutes walk from the start of the Opera Point track to the idyllic bays on the harbour, complete with tree swing over the water. New Chums beach is accessed from the lagoon end of the beach and should not be missed – a fun walk over the rocks followed by a short bush walk takes you to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (it’s official!).

Quiet and relaxing

A well appointed property with everything needed for a relaxing break. The beach has to rate as one of the best on the Coromandel with the added bonus of the harbour and estuary. Plenty to do for the active relaxers among us or just chill and enjoy the peace.

Fantastic place and location with easy access to both beach and harbour. We enjoyed swimming and walking. A great big special thanks for the neighbourly kindness of fishing (Brian) and the kindness of letting us use your kayak. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Two night "Experience"

This property was a bit of a let down. I did not know until after I had booked and paid that no linen would be supplied. Even when I rechecked it was not mentioned. The beds were comfortable with good duvets and pillows supplied. We were on a trip around some of the Coromandel Peninsular so having to take bedding towels etc for three for only two nights was a nuisance. It was very cold in the house and we realised that no heater was supplied only a wood burning stove. I rang the owner who informed me that there was an axe in the garage so to go ahead and chop some wood! My husband is elderly and due to a back problem could not do this. We did find some chopped wood in chicken feed bags that did the trick and the first night the house warmed up. We were fortunate to have our son with us to chop some kindling. This house really needs an electric heater to use in the mornings as we would not have lit a fire then gone out after breakfast. The owner seemed "offhand" with me. I do realise that the price was lower than others we had stayed in but I would have happily paid extra to be more comfortable. There was good kitchen equipment and dishes but the mugs were so badly stained and need to be replaced. I think the summer would be more enjoyable to rent this little house.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2021
This is a disappointing review as the issues complained about are clearly described in the property listing. I suspect that these guests are not used to booking baches online as they were anxious from the moment of booking - I received many stressed messages and phone calls before and during their stay. Linen is not a standard item supplied in a bach - we do not supply it as standard as it is hard to organise laundering in Whangapoua, but can sometimes organise it with prior arrangement. The ad states that linen is not included, I mentioned it in my initial email to them when they booked and it is also stated in the information sheet. Unfortunately these guests didn’t read emails (or the listing) thoroughly. The same goes for the heating - we have an excellent wood burner, as clearly described in the listing. There is wood in the garage. When the guest called, I told her we had just had delivery of some chopped wood which would be in the garage in chook food bags. She was adamant there was none, so I chased up the person who provided the wood. It was definitely delivered. Eventually she actually listened to what I said and found the wood. There was also a large electric column heater in the garage which they couldn’t find (it’s there, I checked myself). It is frustrating when someone complains about your comfortable bach when it is exactly as described to them in the listing.

Cosy at Whangapoua

We arrived just as a wild storm was coming but the fire made the house very cosy and warm. Great location as only 2 minutes to walk to the beach. A beautiful area of the Coromandel. Would be nice to return in fine and sunny weather.

Why they chose this property

Time Flies is a newly renovated bach, well set up for families on a child-friendly street.
