3 Bedroom Cottage in Rangitoto Island

Hi potential guests! The Rangitoto Island Historic Conservation Trust are setting up a new booking system on the Trademe site - Holiday houses, which will go live from the 1st of July 2025. A link to this new site has been added to the Trusts web page.

Until then, good luck booking here with VRBO

Bach 114 is located near Islington Bay on a promontory above the old tennis courts & stone pavilion. This bach is a 1 and a ½ hour walk along the road from Rangitoto Wharf towards Motutapu Island or a 2 and a ½ hour kayak from Auckland to Islington Bay.

Since the 1920s the baches on Rangitoto have been available to only a few lucky families but now you can join them. This bach has been lovingly restored by the Rangitoto Island Historic Conservation Trust (RIHCT) with the addition of modern bedding, cooking and toilet facilities.

Bach 114 is the larger of the three Bookabach baches available, with 2 bedrooms and 7 single beds. There is a large dining/sitting room and a light spacious sun-porch. Gas cooking and heating are installed and solar panels operate the lighting system and 12v chilly bin. The bach is totally ‘off grid’ complete with a cassette style toilet.

Getting there:
Bach 114 is located in mature Pohutukawa forest at Islington Bay, on the road junction to Islington Bay. The Bach is a 2 minute walk from Islington Bay Wharf along the road or an hour and a half walk from Rangitoto Wharf. There is a network of well-defined walking tracks on both islands giving access to the volcanic features of Rangitoto and the native bush restoration and archaeological sites on Motutapu. Both islands are pest free and you will see native birds and other native wildlife often absent on the mainland.

While the rocky shoreline of Rangitoto makes swimming difficult the sandy beaches of Motutapu are just a short walk away.

Summary: We turned back time in this charming offgrid bach just 5 mins from Islington Bay Wharf and Motutapu Causeway. So so quiet. A lovely place to unwind. Kind of like camping but with comfy chairs, quaint crockery and lovely light to watch the world go by from the conservatory. Would recommend!

Happy S. Nov 13, 2024 12:52:33 PM

Summary: We loved our stay in Bach 114. We thought we would be rushing around exploring the island, but arriving at this tranquil spot dropped us down into the slow and relaxed pace reminiscent of more simple times. We walked, swam, relaxed and made use of the games in the evening. Quincy was great - greeting us and welcoming us. So close to Auckland city but feels like decades away (in a good way! Can still hear the saddlebacks chirping.
