Just a short stroll to the water or into town

For the weekend getaway you can't beat this little bach which has just been renovated and comes with all you might need for just a couple of nights, or a week long stay!

Our bach is privately owned and the comforts of your own home have been replicated here.

On your arrival just be prepared to just relaxing as everything will be taken care of for you. This bach is all inclusive with linen, towels and extra bedding if you wanted a couple of extras on futons in the living area.

A short stroll to the closest beach of only 150 meters and a walk over the hill to the town of Paihia and ferry crossing to Russell.

The bach has an outdoor area (decking) and grassed area (that over time will be landscaped). There is also car parking.

No need to pack ample of clothing for the extra long stays as there is a washing machine within the bach. For those rainy days, indulge in a wide range of dvds available for your use.
Special conditions:
Some pets accepted. Message for further details and information.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$65.00 per stay); Linen (included);

A very nice place
A lovely stay if you’re traveling with a plus-one. A quirky yet comfortable environment that naturally encourages you to relax. Definitely most appropriate for short stays, with a nice location close to local food places + activities.

Beach Cottage getaway
A cozy little home base in the bay of islands! I will say to be aware if you don’t have a car, it’s quite a hike over a big hill to get into Paihia if you need food, internet, or to go on a tour. House was clean and well stocked!

Nice place to stay
Nice and cozy place for a solo or a couple. A car would be recommended as it is not walkable to many of the places you may wish to go, although taxis are easy to get and affordable. Very clean and I enjoyed the back deck.

We enjoyed 5 days here and we were very comfortable. It was a short walk to Paihia along the beach if the tide was low enough. The bach was well equipped and we cooked meals on a couple of occasions.

Fantastic weekend
It was such a cool place to stay, nice and close to the gateway to the bay of islands. We both loved all the very cool personal touches which were cleverly placed all over the house. The property was very clean and tidy and well looked after. And everything was well laid out and communicated to us by the property owner well in advance of our stay. Thanks for an awesome stay.
