AQUA VISTA ON ARDEN SUPPORT LOCAL

Discover Aqua Vista, an enchanting beachside bach situated right by the pristine swimming beach in Oakura, a quaint beach community just a 10-minute scenic drive along Surf Highway 45 from New Plymouth.

Positioned in one of the most sought-after locations in Oakura, this property offers complete tranquility and the perfect opportunity to watch the waves roll in and soak up the refreshing sea air.

In front of the bach, you'll find a large recreational reserve area, perfect for children, featuring a playground, skate park and basketball area.

Aqua Vista has been cherished by the same family for twenty years, and its charm will make you fall in love and never want to leave. From the moment you step inside, the stresses of everyday life will melt away. The modern, quirky environment boasts WOW factor views that will take your breath away as you step out onto the deck.

The open-plan living area radiates a cool surfer vibe, with a high-quality, fully equipped kitchen and beach bach comfort. The master bedroom, located off the lounge, features a comfortable queen bed and stunning beach views. A well-appointed bathroom and laundry area are also conveniently situated off the living space.

The quirky and cool loft-style second level flows into a spacious area cleverly designed to create two large bedroom spaces. The queen room opens to a large deck with even more spectacular water views, while the twin room offers comfort for a good night's sleep. Unlimited Wi-Fi, plenty of off-street parking and a BBQ are added bonuses. Note that there is no TV, providing a true break from everyday distractions.

Spend your days at the beach, and in the evenings, enjoy dining at the Black Sand Pizzeria and Bistro. The village shops, including cafes and a 4 Square for supplies are a short ten-minute walk away through the reserve area.

Don't miss this great opportunity—book your holiday at Aqua Vista today and experience beachside bliss. You won't be disappointed.

A Little Disappointing
Overall we felt the cleanliness was not up to standard, the bathroom particularly. Broken toilet seat was not good given it was broken last time we stayed which was a couple of years ago. Lock on back door broke mid stay. Beds are very uncomfortable. Oven needs instructions included in the home manual - it’s very confusing to operate. Great location, and overall fine - just needs a little TLC to fix a few things up.

We loved the layout of the property. It was perfect for our family stay. Lovely, light and spacious rooms and everything was very well equipped. The location just across the road from the beach and next to a playground and skateboard park was fantastic.
