About this house rental

Welcome to Inara Sands.

A relaxed coastal bach made for slowing down, sandy feet, open air living, and the sound of the surf drifting in at night.

Kick your shoes off, leave the schedule behind, and settle into the rhythm of the coast.

Inara Sands is set up as a collection of separate pods for living, sleeping and bathing, connected by outdoor decking.

You’ll move between spaces outside — part of the charm of staying here. Even in the rain, the sound on the roof makes it something special.

The interiors are thoughtfully finished with custom cabinetry and warm, natural materials. The kitchen features a handcrafted copper benchtop and integrated appliances, while outside you’ll find an outdoor bath with a handmade copper tap — perfect at the end of a beach day.

🌊 What you'll love

2 bedrooms (1 queen + 2 bunks room with 4 singles)
Separate pods for a relaxed indoor/outdoor flow
Outdoor bath (best for a relaxing evening with a good book & glass of vino)
An assortment of books for guests to read during their stay
Smart TVs in living + bedrooms
3 bikes, beach toys, board games & books
Yoga mat for slow mornings on the deck
Bug screens on windows so you can enjoy fresh air
Space for a caravan, campervan or tent
Small dogs welcome

🌿 The Vibe

This is a classic Kiwi bach with a calm, slightly soulful feel.
It’s not a polished, modern holiday house — and that’s exactly the point.

It suits guests who:

enjoy outdoor living
don’t mind a bit of sand (it gets everywhere)
like things relaxed, easy, and real

If you’re after something pristine and hotel-like, this may not be the right fit.
If you love good energy, beach life, and slowing things down, you’ll feel right at home.

📍 Location
Just minutes from the beach
Easy 20-minute stroll along the waterfront into town
Close to cafés, restaurants and local spots
Spend your days at the beach, exploring nearby bays, or just settling in with a book and doing very little.

🌊 A Few Things to Know

The property sits on natural sand — it’s part of the experience
You’ll walk outside between pods
Outdoor living is a big part of the stay
The bach has character and is designed to be lived in, not kept perfect

If this sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to host you.

Slow mornings.
Salty air.
Good, easy days.
That’s Inara Sands.
