About this house rental
This character beach home is less than 100 metres from one of Northland's most beautiful beaches. Ocean Beach is just down from the Tutukaka coast, 2 beaches south of Patua. To get to the beach from the bach, you don't even cross a road, instead simply follow a 20m private path across sand dunes. The area provides a touch of old school NZ bach life, with numerous leisure activities including surfing, great boating and fishing, coastal walks though the nearby DOC reserve and a variety of additional beaches to accommodate every weather variation. Ocean Beach is only 30 mins from Whangarei or 2 1/2 hours drive from Auckland. This well equiped home has 5 bedrooms (3x queen bed, 1 x bunk bed, 1x bunk and single bed), large downstairs living area and upstairs a games room with ping pong table, 2 bathrooms, a large, modern kitchen with 2 fridge freezers, and is set in a 1000sqm section with lush gardens. Enjoy great sea views from the top floor- you can lie in bed and check on the surf! One deck provides breakfast sun overlooking the sea, while you can BBQ on the rear deck to the setting sun. Great views of the reserve and Bream Head complete the tranquil setting. There is ample onsite parking. Special conditions: 2 nights minimum stay year round. Except long weekends - 3 night min, and 7 nights min stay in peak season mid Dec to end of Jan. Families are preferred (comfortably sleeps 6 adults and 4 kids - 6 adults max).

We stayed at Ocean Beach with friends (a group of adults and young kids) and it was the perfect setup for a group like this.Clean, spacious house, modern kitchen with everything we needed, beautiful views from the upstairs rooms and an awesome garden for the kids. Nice to have an outdoor space on each side of the property so you can take advantage of the sun and the upstairs living area was really useful when the weather was rainy.

Great location at lovely beach.Good sized and well appointed bach easily accomodating 3 couples, 2 children and a dog in low key comfort. Minor quibbles included; no toilet paper apart from that on the roll holders ( for a 7 night stay) and some out dated instructions … eg there is no waste and recycling station in Parua BayOverall a great place for a family holiday.
6 / 10Average·May 2021
just returned home after a good time with family at Ocean Beach - as far as that goes - thank you
It is regrettable I need to confirm the following :-
1. the TV was absent - in my limited knowledge of Audio/TV the I believe there was no TV decoder present ?? - a "Dish TV remote" was but no decoder ??
2. the XBox proved inoperative to all attempts - and there were a couple of XBox enthusiasts that were unable to obtain service
3. the DVD player was the only "success" in this department - BUT a couple of the DVD's that could have provided entertainment (The Wolf Of Wall St - to name one) proved useless as we were unable to get past the security seal !!!!!!
4. "we" took due heed , over your stated protocols with the waste bins BUT were disappointed to find small bin bag in each of the two main bins - one of which likely had a nappy in as it "WAS HIGH" and in addition a discarded babys undergarment accompanied the smelling bag. To call a halt to this one, we retrieved the offending material and managed to lose it into our own disposal .................................
5. "we" also took heed of protocols with the fridge and freezers - in that we ignored the numerous items left in the one fridge - and simply worked around them - and left them in place at the end of the week !!! As for the freezers - we simply did without them !! any content and/or mess in the freezer compartments was NOT of our doing.
I have to say that for both items 4 & 5, I would have expected the supervising entity to have dealt with all matters before our arrival
A couple of other aspects which normally I would not have commented on - the Master Bedroom had two bedside lights - BUT my light was unable to reach a power source so was useless !! we would also have appreciated a soft broom and/or vacuum
I can confirm we did not use either of the BBQ's ((we took our own Weber)) and we did not use/install the umbrella
We did attempt to erect the PortaCot - but our efforts were in vain as the mechanisms to hold the upper frame in alignment was clearly faulty - my sons baby had to sleep with his parents - NOT an ideal situation. I suspect that a previous user failed to understand the release mechanisms for the fold down - and has forced the situation - resulting in the damaged cot. We are NOT responsible for this damage - we simply bring the situation to your attention.
In hind sight - an "emergency contact" would have been reassuring
