About this property

Tahuna - Large, spacious and comfortable home with views of the ocean and estuary

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.

'Tahuna' means seaside in Maori and this large home on multiple levels has breath-taking ocean and estuary views and it is a short stroll to the surf beach and Picnic Bay. With multiple living areas and bathrooms, and decks on 2 levels, it is ideal for families or mature couples! Tucked up on a driveway off Wintle St, it offers close proximity to all the action whilst providing a quiet Oasis to retire to. With kayaks available to use in the estuary, a playhouse, table tennis table and a hammock in a shaded spot to chill with a book, this property ticks so many boxes. Enjoy soaking up the rays on the large deck or sit inside and you will still be able to enjoy the magnificent views from the kitchen, dining room and living room.

This is the perfect house for a large family or even 2 families to enjoy their time away together, sharing the same house but with enough space to not feel crammed in!

Notes:

1. The bedding configuration is now slightly different to the photos as there is an extra single in one room and the Sofa bed has been replaced by a Queen bed.

2. Please note that the spa and garage are not available for guests.

3. There is a fully secured gun safe in the garage that cannot be opened without the access code

LINEN: Please note that other than pillows, duvets and duvet covers, linen is not included in the tariffs but can be rented for $25 per person, further details are provided in the 'Rooms and beds' section of the listing. If you wish to add linen, please add a note to your booking with what beds you wish to use so they can be made up. We have linen as an optional extra to make a more affordable holiday for those who wish to bring their own.

BOOKING PAYMENT: Although Bookabach/VRBO take your credit card details, all booking payments are made to Bach Stay NZ Limited who manage this property for the owners. Once your booking is approved, we will send you a payment email with a choice of credit card payment (a 3% surcharge applies) or bank transfer (no charges).

Family getaway

The Bach is as portrayed on website - stunning views, excellent facilities and off street parking, Beds very comfortable and bathrooms large and clean. Our group had 3 couples and the extra privacy from their bedrooms onto small deck areas meant everyone could have their own spaces if they wished. We have rented multiple baches in Mangawhai heads and now only book through book a Bach as Dave and the Bachstay property staff are superb to deal with.

Perfect in Every Way

From the location to the views to the property itself, Tahuna is perfect in every way. We lived in the Caribbean for seven years and Tahuna was like stepping back to those days. Couldn't fault anything about the place!

Spacious, comfortable, easy

A wonderfully spacious home to relax and enjoy the company of friends, whilst admiring the beautiful view of the Heads and coastline. Great location as we were able to walk to the beach and clifftop walk. Recommend for any group of adults or families with school aged children - not for little ones as there are a lot of stairs and potential for falls. Quiet and peaceful, great decks. We also loved the birdsong. Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.

over all good

We had a great time house was more than adequate. Not enough crockery for amount of people that could stay. Plus lot of the crockery was chipped when we got there. We had a great time playing Ping Pong no winners. Beach was lovely weather not so much but we still got out and did things. Pity nobody can control the weather.
