About this house rental
A comfortable beach house to escape all the rush
and bustle of city life.
Only 1 1/4 hour drive north of Auckland this bach has excellent facilities including a large North Facing deck opening from a modern kitchen. There are two queen beds, and four single beds available. The beach house is in close proximity to a wide range of activities including the popular Matakana Markets, Wine tasting at the many local vineyards, Goat Island Marine Reserve, Pakiri surf beach and many others.
Although the bach is only 100 metres from the Matheson Bay beach the views have been obscured by the pohutukawa trees - what a shame - not!
Special conditions:
Under the Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);
The bach will have been clean and tidy when you arrived. It's a lovely old bach with lots of family history so we care for it lovingly ... but ... it will never be perfect.
We expect the basics of a clean up from you when you leave - we always vacuum and mop through do the bathrooms and take out the rubbish :-).
Two nights minimum stay.
Special Holidays and Long Weekends are at "high season " rates.

We arrived to find the bach very clean and tidy. Although the weather didn't play ball the whole time, we still had plenty to do inside and there was heaps of room. The time we did spend outside on the back deck was special. We really enjoyed the beach with swimming and bush walks. We would come back again to enjoy this delightful Kiwi bach and wonderful, safe beach. Great communication from the Host particularly as the weather worsened. Highly recommend

We had a fantastic holiday at this house. The location is so great - just a quick walk downhill to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked with any equipment you could need, the tyre swing & hammock were big hits with the kids, the outside fireplace was great, and the deck umbrella was a lifesaver from the summer sun! Alan was a fabulous host - very easy to communicate with if & when needed.
