Seaside Kiwiana Bach Private Beach Access

A seaside escape with a Kiwiana vibe that sits in a private corner of our unique harbourside property. All the advantages of a stay in nature with the comfort of nice beds, linen & stylish bathroom.

There is a beach at the boundary only 20 meters away via our rambling path in a native bush setting. Only 180 steps down to the beach.

The bach is recently renovated and has great indoor outdoor flow and links to a charming orchard.

The space:

Inside the suite consists of three spacious rooms: a bedroom with a queen bed, a bathroom and a living room with a kitchenette for food prep ready for the outdoor BBQ. A king single bed and a roll out single is sectioned off in the living room.
Step onto the covered veranda where you will find the outdoor kitchen and seating area (gas grill and electric induction hob).. The studio is newly renovated and has its own small hot water cylinder.

Guest access:

Enjoy the exclusive use of the guest studio. Take advantage of the households path to the beach and citrus orchard. However, the upper garden and main house are out of bounds. The onsite parking links to the suite with good lighting and level access. Feel free to come and go anytime but be mindful of noise at night.

Ocean Beach is a must. Perfect weekend getaway. The accomodation is 5*. The little touches are just above and beyond. Even a Nespresso coffee machine!We would love to stay again.My only suggestion for cleaning was dust, but the bathroom was spotless.

We really enjoyed the accomodation out of the hustle and bustle of town. A well set up self contained unit under main house with a decent amount of space to spread out inside and lovely garden surrounds. The hosts were great. It's only a short walk down to the coast through the forest.

Beautiful part of the country. Noisier than expected from children in the main house above. Slow to heat up. Easy access to walking tracks and beaches. Close to city with it's cafes and restaurants.

Views and relaxing
We had a wonderful week at this little batch. Our teen son enjoyed the space in the living room to claim as his own and we enjoyed the private large master bedroom with breathtaking views. I read another comment describing it as a basement flat and this was helpful as I knew it wasn’t detached and we were prepared for main house sounds (just the occasional walking up and down stairs). It was so peaceful, loved picking the fruit, walk to the beach or a quick drive to any of the other many stunning beaches. Full sized fridge so we stocked up in town and cooked up of a night and ate out on the deck. It’s the most relaxed I’ve ever seen our son (very much a home body) on holidays. Thanks so much for a wonderful week.

Great place to stay
Amazing location and Janice is a great host. The beach access takes you to a secluded section of beach, the path is pretty steep in places so it wouldn't be easy to navigate with mobility issues but otherwise it's not very far and very convenient. The accommodation itself was modern and tidy and the beds are comfortable. There is also a dog named Rosie who is very cute! Thanks for the great stay!

Amazing Lookout over the Bay
I travelled with my granddaughter and we stayed 10 days in Janice' wonderful and well-equipped apartment (1 separate bedroom. The unit sleeps for all in all). The kitchen was stuffed with almost everything necessary and it was a great experience to all cooking outside on the shaded veranda (induction cooker and gas grill).Janice and her family gave us a very warm welcome. She herself is very attentive. There is only 1 negative fact to mention: The very steep path down to the beach. For me, unfortunuately rather old and handicapped, it was undoable and I had to let the pleasure to go swimming in the bay to the younger ones Thank you Janice and Derek. Gregor and Johanna
