MESSENGER MAGIC A CLASSIC KIWI BACH

Unwind at this charming Kiwi-style beach bach in Oakura, one of the most coveted coastal spots. Nestled just steps from the beach and near the river's edge, this property boasts jaw-dropping 180-degree ocean views that will leave you breathless.

Gather your togs, sunblock, cricket set, and the entire family for an unforgettable holiday at Messenger Magic. This quirky 1960's bach, treasured by the same family for generations, sits on a rare, expansive north-facing plot that offers spectacular sunsets and sweeping ocean vistas.

The open-plan living area, with its large slider leading to the deck, invites you to relax and soak in the vintage charm of the original 1960s kitchen. The walls tell a story of cherished memories, adorned with local artist prints and treasures collected over the years.

Upstairs features three cozy bedrooms: a master with a super king bed, a second with a queen bed, and a third with a single rollaway. The basement, accessed from outside, is a teenager's dream, equipped with a foosball table, mini pool table, dart board, games, bunk beds, and single beds perfect for laughter-filled nights and midnight feasts.

With amenities like laundry facilities, unlimited Wi-Fi, Sky TV, ample parking, an outdoor shower, and a heat/air con pump, this bach is equipped for comfort. Plus, it comes stocked with essentials like coffee, tea, milk, and toiletries.

Good-hearted family bach in ideal location

Reviewer Comments: This is a spacious, bright and well-maintained, not to mention clearly much cherished older family bach: excellent location - views and quiet, but close to beach and everything else; great games area downstairs for rainy days; and good bedding, kitchen equipment and so on.

Good location and amazing view
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was good spacious place for us, very good views and convenient location. The only issue might be that one toilet and bathroom if you are staying with max pax capacity which is 11 or 12 I believe. There also could have been an internal access to the ground bedrooms from the first floor. Overall we all had fun in the bach with games and amazing beach view. Thanks for the hospitality

Great Family Escape
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here as a family of 4 with 2 very young children. It was the perfect base for us. We had everything we needed for our week long stay and could easily pop to the beach or the shops whenever we felt like it. There is an amazing yard for the kids to run around too. And the hot outdoor shower got a lot of use when returning from the beach each day.

Surf trip getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: An interesting kiwi Bach. We were 2 mums travelling with our kids for a surf trip. Not much privacy with the bathroom, make sure you know your housemates well. Also downstairs was a bit musty, kids couldn’t sleep in there for smell. Otherwise upstairs was lovely and a great location.
