Architecturally designed bach in a quiet cul de sac overlooking a bush reserve

Onemana is a small beach resort with lots of bush, birds and secluded spots. Our Nahoon Bach (sleeps 7) was designed by owner Paul (wannabe architect) with a vision of it being a unique beach abode rather than a suburban home. The living area is a two story void surrounded by double story windows making it light and airy with beautiful bush and sea views. All windows can slide open on hot summer days giving it a "tent-like" feel. Its curved corrugated iron roof (inside and out - insulated) and structure is reminiscent of the iconic Kiwi barn. Oneama has a beautiful white sand surf beach - although sometimes the sea is more is like a peaceful lake. There are lots of great bush walks to remote neighbouring beaches. If you want a bit more action, Whangamata is only 10 minutes drive away. Other Coromandel attractions like Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove are an hour's drive away. Onemana has free tennis courts if you can drag yourself away from the deck where you could sit for hours watching the Tuis and enjoying their songs from the bottle brush and Kauri or admire the Kingfisher sitting in the Punga. At night you can hear the Morepork calling and the crashing of the surf (when it's up). It's an idyllic retreat from city life. In winter there's a roaring log fire to add to the ambience and comfort. The house has all the mod cons and is furnished in an eclectic mix of Kiwi and African design and art.
Smoking outside only.
Downstairs suitable for toddlers and wheelchairs.
Enclosed/gated deck safe for toddlers and young children.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$100 per stay)

Designed for relaxation
An excellent place to stay with lots of spots to relax - soak up the sun or grab some shade to read a book. Great facilities for our family weekend including lots of fridge space for BBQ food and drinks. Onemana is a favorite spot to visit with pretty beach, community tennis court and great kids playground.

Beautiful & Tranquil
Was a beautiful relaxing weekend in a very well equipped home. The windows make the home so open and the bush outlook a sight to wake up to. We all enjoyed the stay however unfortunately there was a very old wrap left in the microwave that made the kitchen very smelly. As we didn’t use the mic we didn’t discover it until the day we checked out. Other than that 5 ⭐️stars

Beautiful place - thanks Jill !
Loved staying at the house in Onemana :) - such a great spot to unwind and also a great base to explore the local area. Everything top notch in the accommodation and the house is the perfect mix of casual bach and modern living. Will definitely be back if we are in the area ! Cheers.

We stayed a week at this lovely place and enjoyed it from the moment we arrived. The location, design, layout and furnishing of the batch has been done beautifully. We especially liked the ocean view out through the upper lounge windows from the upper main bedroom in the morning. And yes, the outdoor shower is a blessing! Especially on a clear night with view of the stars. It was well used by all of us. Thanks Jill and Paul.

All we wanted and more
Enjoyed a thoroughly relaxing week in this very well equipped bach. Unwound the moment we arrived with books, backgammon and dinner on the deck, bushwalks, beach time and brunches in Whangamata and Tirua. It was all we wanted and more with the added bonus of being dog friendly. Loved it!

Unfortunatley a local mowing company called Mowtivated mowed lawns, weedeated and blew leafs for 6 hours on the Saturday and started again at 8.15am on the Sunday morning. they were still at it when we left at 11.00am. Really ruined an otherwise idyllic weekend.

Beautiful house in beautiful quiet location.
Beautiful house in beautiful quiet location. Loved the bush, beach and birdsong. It would have been really useful to know before we arrived that there is no wifi at all and no phone reception for spark mobile. Tech free isn't always an option! Also could do with some fans on the very hot upper level and night and some more comfortable beds...not the best combo for sleeping!
