About this house rental

Waitarere Wonder is a renovated sunny beach house with beach access directly across the road. It has a west facing deck that is partially covered and a sheltered rear deck with an outdoor fire.

Enjoy all day sun on the huge front deck which is partially covered with an Archgola to provide some shade and shelter. The deck is accessed via stacker doors off the open plan living area and also from the main bedroom.

There is also a new deck at the rear of the property which is very sheltered and sunny and provides a good spot for BBQing. There is also an outdoor fire in the backyard to enjoy on cooler nights, or make the most the last of the sun on the front deck with a glass of wine.

The house has been extensively renovated throughout and has an open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The stunning kitchen and bathroom have everything you need including a dishwasher and Infinity gas hot water. There is also a new laundry area.

An extension at the rear of the property was added late 2023 for the owners to use but guests benefit from the new deck area in the backyard and a new laundry area.

Waitarere Wonder is located on Rua Avenue and is walking distance to the local restaurant (Beachside Bar & Restaurant), 4 Square and gift shop. The domain, park, tennis courts and south and north forests are also within walking distance.

There is a liquor store on Waitarere Beach Road near the north end forest and the bowling club (Club Waitarere on Park Avenue) is in the street directly behind the beach house.

Besides enjoying the fabulous beach, the forest areas at the south and north ends of Waitarere are great for mountain biking, walking and running. The south end forest has a kids Fairy forest and Middle Earth - an adventure playground.

Special conditions:
Please take note of minimum nights (contact us for any special requests as we may be able to accommodate).

No smoking and no parties please.

Please note: our dogs are at the property when we stay, so please take note if any animal allergies.

Important: Waitarere Beach is NOT on town water supply. We rely on rainfall to fill our water tanks. Therefore it is imperative to conserve water. Tap water is safe to drink.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$60.00 per stay); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (towels, sheets and pillow cases).

We supply: duvets, duvet covers, mattress and pillow protectors and tea towels.

You also either take rubbish with you on departure or buy a Council rubbish bag and put your rubbish in it. Rubbish bags are collected every Monday. Recycling bins are provided and emptied every second Monday.

You must also do a general tidy and do the dishes (including emptying the dishwasher) before you leave.

Loved this place. Great access to the beach. A fire to keep us warm in cold weather. Lovely outside spaces to hang out in. Cool outside fire area. Well-stocked kitchen. Games to play. Loved the outside shower. Kids enjoyed the bottom lawn for soccer. Highly recommend.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
We really enjoyed this bach - it has a decent sized lawn at the front where the kids could play football and cricket (with tennis ball). The front deck (half covered) was perfect for dinner outside. The back deck with outside fireplace was great too. It’s been renovated a few years back so everything’s relatively new and clean/tidy. Good shower pressure. The internet worked well. Jodie was great with comms via the app. Would recommend and stay again.

Nice place over the road from the beach access. However there is a distinct dog odour throughout the property which would put me off booking again.
