About this house rental

A New Zealand classic bach designed for families, built in the 1970s, set in a fully fenced quarter acre section with beautiful trees and room to play cricket. On a back section, protected from the wind and quiet but only one minute's walk down the drive to the safe surf beach. Bring your kayaks as we are only ten minutes walk to Ohiwa Harbour which offers wonderful kayaking.

Please note it is a very comfortable bach but suits people who want to experience the bach rather than holiday home experience.

Safe for toddlers or dogs as it is fully fenced. Open plan living with two bedrooms in the bach and two more bedrooms in a recently built sleepout. Only one bathroom but cleverly designed with two showers (one outdoors) and two toilets.

Fully equipped with washing machine, microwave, highchair and portable cot. Although we ask you to bring your own linen there are plenty of duvets and blankets. Although it sleeps 9 it is really only suitable for 6 adults. The other beds are more suitable for children as they are divans.

There is a pizza oven that you can use. However you cannot use driftwood so there is a smalll supply of wood available. If you want to use it please let us know and we will send some instructions and suggestions about where to get suitable wood.

To complete the bach experience there is a range of family board games and an interesting range of books to read.

Please note there is a cleaning fee. So treat yourself as this means you do not have to do any cleaning when you leave. We just ask you leave the bach tidy with the dishes done.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only.
Please keep dogs off the furniture.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$70.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

The listing was for a old fashioned bach, which is what we were expecting, we arrived and the place smelled very musty and like there was a leak inside. The bach was very unclean inside and the gardens and trees down the ROW were also very untidy and overgrown. Im pretty sure we left it tidier than when we arrived that's for sure!!! Sorry guys if you are wanting to rent out your bach you really need to tidy it up a bit. The bach its self was very quaint and well equipped, it was nice hearing the ocean and the birds.
