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.

    we packed up grandma, the dogs and the kids and headed to the beach. Kids enjoyed the sandhills and surf.dogs enjoyed the beach walks, grandma enjoyed the change of pace. We were abit disappointed that the oven was smoky so didn't use and the Bbq was grubby so also didn't use which was a shame. Overall finish of home could have been better but overall it was good.

    We made a long weekend out of the Saturday multi event race and the property was fantastic for that. A short walk from the beach, well stocked and an easy transfer point for the race it worked well for the two families. Loved the proximity to the beach, watched the sunrise, it really was as an ace location.

    House was clean and so well equipped and fantastic location will definitely come back. Short walk to the stunning beach. Kids loved the ping pong and movies at night. Was a bit tricky to find at night in the dark and we ended up at the neighbours property trying to get in there but we eventually found where we had to go! Otherwise it was absolutely perfect! Loved it!!

    Fabulous positioned property. Worked well with our family dynamic of teens and younger children. Fantastic kitchen, having 2 fridges was a huge bonus. Easy walk to the beach. Ideally situated if you want to do a days walk in the area. Property manager was excellent to deal with. Thank you.
