About this house rental

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.
Located on a quiet cul-de-sac a 5 minute walk from the estuary is this sunny, family-friendly kiwi bach. While it has had some updates over the years it still retains its original bach charm and is basic but tidy.
This cosy accommodation has a lovely little deck with sunshade for outdoor living and a spacious garden front and back for summer games. When the weather isn't so great there is a TV with Freeview, a DVD player and discs and a sound system.
Enjoy the proximity to the estuary for a swim or walk with the dog. For a slightly longer stroll, 15-20 minutes takes you to the surf beach or Wood St shops and eateries.
Plenty of room to park a boat or jet ski with the boat ramp only a 5 minute drive away. NB: Tents may be allowed on request but not to increase the number of guests.
Please note this is a very basic bach but it is tidy and in a great location. This property does not have Wi-Fi

We loved the location of Chris' place, so nice to be able to walk to both the estuary and the surf beach. It is a simple place, no laundry and no wifi ! which I loved. It felt like an authentic kiwi bach and the simplicity was relaxing. I also liked being on ground level.

Lovely stay. Super property and great check-in. Was a couple of cold nights so the sole panel heater didn't cut it to keep the chill off.
