Fully fenced family and pet friendly iconic kiwi bach awaits

3 bedroom bach with spacious fully fenced section. Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac with large reserve to kick around a ball or play cricket and also direct entrance into mountain bike and walking tracks through forest.

Fantastic in the summer months and also very warm in winter with a log fire. A 10 minute walk through sand hills to Foxton Beach. Sheltered, quiet section with ample room for kids and dogs to run around. Off the kitchen is a sheltered launday/porch area for your pooch to snuggle up at night. An easy 10-minute walk to a large kids playground and skate park, cafe/restaurant. Not much further take a walk/bike ride up the stunning Estuary to enjoy the view and then munch down some good old kiwi fish n chips or pick up some supplies from the local four-square store.

Enjoy the evening by the fire, watching telly or with a game of darts or pool in the garage.

Base rate per night covers up to 4 guests. There is an additional guest fee of $20 per extra guest per night.

There is also unlimited WiFi at the property - @ $20 per stay.

Special conditions:
Two-night minimum stay
3 nights for long weekends
No smoking inside please.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to leave the bach as you wish to find it (full cleaning supplies provided), bring your own linen (towels/sheets). If you want us to take care of the cleaning for you then please advise at time of booking and we can add on a cleaning fee to your booking

Get away from it all!
We loved the quiet location with access to beach & forest. (Our dogs loved it too!) Nothing fancy about the house, but had everything we needed, and it felt like a well-loved Bach.

Lovely comfy bach, great location
Great location, a lovely comfy bach - great section and being fully fenced meant it was great for the dogs, who were able to sleep in the porch are (another bonus). I meet a few of the friendly locals on my walks through the dunes. Recommend for your next getaway - I certainly hope to return.

A very comfortable home with an enclosed garden as promised but not always realised! Thoughtful layout with space for dogs outside and in covered porch. Good layout, with space to eat as a group... not often provided.

Beach getaway
Very comfortable and quite roomy for even a large group. Everything needed in a normal home is supplied in good quantities and we were able to start our break straight away and replace supplies before we left. Really enjoyed the forest walks and would be great with a bike. Easy access to three great beaches (Foxton, Waitarere and Himatanga).

Family Reunion
This was a fantastic place for families as plenty of room outside and also the reserve and forest next door which the children just loved. If you need more accommodation then directly across the road is another bookabatch the we also used. So having two houses in walking distance was amazing.
