About this house rental
Large 1970's Farm House on 10 acres. Kitchen/Dinning modern, rest of house is original including the bathrooms.
We recarpeted about 18 months ago. But please note this is not a modern house. While we love it and it is our weekend home, it is old. If you are looking for a modern place this is not for you.
When submitting a request please provide a bit of information on yourself. Many thanks.
A unique opportunity to rent a rural lifestyle property and enjoy the 'rural lifestyle' for a few days. We have sheep and a small avocado orchard. This is our weekend getaway from Auckland and is very peaceful. Our neighbours have cows and this is rural so occasional there are rural smells.
Very private but close to the beaches and to Whitianga, ideal for two families to share.
Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave.
Linen provided based on the number of people booked for.
Occupants
Please do not exceed the maximum number of occupants stated.
If the number of occupants is exceeded at any point the tenancy will be terminated forthwith without a refund. Having more people to stay than you state and pay for is fraud.
Camping
Camping in tents or caravans is not allowed, without prior written permission. Where permission is granted, guests who are camping will be charged the per person rate that applies at the time of the rental.
Pets
You may bring a pet provided it is clean and under control and you have asked us first. Please remember that we have sheep so a dog must be under control at all times. We will not allow more than two dogs.
Smoking
Outside only away from the house

Summary of reviewsLovely spacious property with comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen, and fantastic hosts. Plenty of room for large groups and kids to run around. Highly recommended!
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
Good for a large family group. Bathrooms are a bit dated, but the kitchen, dining, lounge area was good.
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
We stayed for just 2 nights with our extended family. The house was plenty big enough and had all the amenities we needed. The beds were firm and comfortable. The gardens were huge and beautiful. We spent a few hours chasing around with Nerf guns, with even the youngest, at 3, joining in. The only worry we had was the balconey, which seemed unstable and a bit around the back of the property which had a drop down to the next level. Overall, we had a great time. It was central to where we wanted to be and although some of it was a little dated, the kitchen was lovely and modern. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the place to stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
Ideal spot to see plenty of different places, owners very obliging and helpful with the set up we required.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2025
Plenty of space with five bedrooms, lounge, dining and sunroom, and a front lawn and garden area. Good kitchen area, oven, expresso machine, amenities, etc, instructions avail for everything. BBQ needed a good clean prior to use, outdoor furniture lacking, some deck areas unavailable and/or required work. Good, easy communication with owner, quick answers to any queries.
