It's a real unplug and reconnect Kiwi holiday - enjoy the peace with no TV or phone to interrupt your board games, swimming, walks and reading time.

The bach is very family-friendly, with books, magazines, board games and toys all available to use. Playgrounds, Four Square, dairy and fish and chip shops are all in easy walking distance.

This is also a wonderful spot for a couple wanting some time to reconnect with walks along the beach, a coffee at the local cafe and some serious downtime from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The bach has space for 10 people - two sets of bunks (one with a double), a queen-size bed, one single bed and two fold out couches.

The house is only 90sqm so while it can sleep that many, it's best for those who are happy with intimacy with their family and friends :)

Special conditions:
This bach is a basic kiwi Bach that will take you back in time but please don't expect perfection! We'd hate for you to be disappointed.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house throughly and do the dishes before you leave, wash all bedding and towels and take all your rubbish with you.

The bach is comfy, cosy and has everthing you need. Its a perfect get away if you want to connect with your teenagers. The double bunk bed squeaks but Nadine is now aware of it and is going to remedy it.Nadine and Alan are fabulous to communicate with!Would thoroughly recommend Pams Bach

Fantastic place that oozed classic kiwi bach charm. We really enjoyed our stay. It was comfy and had everything we needed. Really appreciated the large, fully fenced section, my 2 little dogs loved exploring it. Also close to sunset walkway which was a nice place to take a stroll with them. Very dog friendly. Would recommend.

Shouldn't use the 2020 finalist of bach of the year awards. This does yend to make you think the place is nicer than it is. Needs smoke alarms Needs some simple building work completed to be air tight and havr the lounge slider functioning without the use of a stick as a lock.
