The layout includes a split-level design: the kitchen, dining and living areas are on the first level along with two bedrooms, each featuring a queen-size bed with storage drawers. Upstairs ( a short staircase of 5 steps) is the master bedroom, which offers a king-size bed and wardrobe along with the bathroom.
Simple furnishings complement the laid-back beach vibe, with a large deck and spacious lawn for outdoor lounging. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the hot outdoor shower. Enjoy easy meals with a fully equipped kitchen and BBQ on hand. On cooler nights, stay cozy inside with the heat pump and enjoy movie nights or board games from the collection provided.

Byron J. Feb 5, 2025 08:55:39 AM

Summary: We had an amazing stay. Located a stone's throw from the only cafe in Pukehina with beach access - not sure what more you could want for a Kiwi bach escape. Rach was really helpful and communicative as well.

Mitra P. Feb 3, 2025 10:33:08 AM

Summary: Great place and lots of towels!

Mandy W. Jan 16, 2025 02:34:10 PM

Summary: Stunning place, nothing but good to things to say!! 100% will be back to re visit!

Inyou C. Jan 13, 2025 05:23:26 AM

Summary: This small batch has everything you need for a holiday right in front of the beach. Definitely coming back again.

Aubrey M. Jan 7, 2025 09:23:16 AM

Summary: This bach has everything you need - all the mod cons- and a stunning view to boot. The host is really responsive to emails and gave us a run down of all the best places to eat. Everything is clean and tidy, and in good condition. Beds are comfy and the shower has great water pressure. There's lots for kids to do and it's pet friendly. If the host will have us, we definitely will be going back :)

Aleks R. Jan 6, 2025 03:45:45 AM

Summary: Loved the location and cleanliness of the property. Would def recommend for future stays

Jacques V. Dec 30, 2024 07:28:53 AM

Summary: Great location with the beer garden across the road and views to stair at all day!!! It is an older kiwi batch with a bit of a dated look when you first arrive. The house is clean and the backyard great. The garage is filled with spiderwebs

Alastair M. Dec 26, 2024 11:51:19 AM

Summary: Quirky bach with all the comforts while maintaining the bach atmosphere. A great place to take the kids and enjoy some time in the sun and surf.

Greg T. Oct 23, 2024 05:49:33 PM

Summary: Loved the place the only disappointment was not getting a reply from the manager and having to email the owner because I wasn’t told the tv was via the internet. Owner was more than helpful on all occasions

Amanda J. Oct 15, 2024 02:20:51 PM

Summary: Cool cozy Bach that had everything we needed for few days away to relax & catch some sun - our pooch also enjoyed sunbathing whilst taking in the beautiful ocean view 😊
