About this house rental

The Bach is only 5 -10 minutes walk to Mangonui village where you can catch a kingy from the wharf, and if they aren't biting, the World Famous Fish and Chip Shop will provide dinner. There's also a great selection of cafes after your day at one of the many magnificent beaches in Doubtless Bay. The bach is equipped with an electric stove, pot belly stove, fridge/freezer, auto washer and two canoes. A recent comment from our visitors book sums up their experience - 'A slice of heaven'. To view more comments from the Visitors book and some updated photos, check our Facebook page SettlersDream.
Also available for use are kayaks and waveski.
The Karikari peninsular has some of the best wind and kite surfing in the country but don't tell too many or it will end up crowded like Shippies with the surf. Choice of two coasts to surf with Ahipara is 40 minutes drive and Taupo Bay 25mins. Doubtless Bay is great for fishing and the launching ramp is one of the best in the north and so close.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Stayed with my mum (78 yrs old) and we both really loved it, what a fabulous place. Tidy, super close to the the village, and yet calm and quite. Only improvement would have been to know that the toilet is somewhat external, requiring some steps at night, which may be of interest to some.

10.0 / 10.0

This property suited our needs. Liked the location and very casual and comfortable. We did have bit of a hard time finding it as no house number. Some people may be put off by outside toilet. We would stay there again.

A lovely, tranquil spot with lots of visiting tuis in the trees around the property and an amazing view of the water. Some great bush walks a stones throw away and a short walk to get dinner or coffee. Great swimming nearby at Cable Bay. Also a good bach for our dogs with the outside shower and the bach not getting too hot during the day.

The real Kiwi bach!

The real Kiwi bach!

Whilst we all love shiny new things, it isn't often these days, that you get to stay in a real bach. Where the crockery doesn't match, where you wash your dishes by hand but where you feel that you are a part of the history of a really special property. We loved it here!

A charming cottage with a nice view. Accuracies of the listing were variable. The outside toilet was accessible. Lighting was poor for aged eyes. The main bed was very comfortable. The smoke alarm batteries required replacement. The advertised kayak: poor lifejackets, 1 paddle had a straight shaft, the other was appropriately adjusted. The straight one was seized solid and would not adjust. The paddle board: non standard paddle, and board??? As we are regular kayaker this was disappointing. However we did enjoy our stay.

Lovely traditional kiwi bach in awesome spot

This is the ideal place to stay if you are seeking a traditional kiwi experience (with or without kids). The bach overlooks the picturesque Mill bay and is a short walk to a Foursquare and eateries. There is a lot of history to Mill Bay, conveniently displayed wherever you go. Choose from many swimming beaches (with or without waves) nearby or beach hop all day like we did. We enjoyed using the kayak available for fun and fishing. The property owner is great to communicate with and we had an awesome holiday here!

Batch has a lovely view and enjoyed being able to hear the water. It's a basic bach with everything you need. The toilet is accessible outside from the carport so not so great if you're a bit squeamish on night bugs. Enjoyed our stay regardless of having to cut it short due to NZ travel restrictions. Thanks
