Kiwi Bach Escape - Close To Beach

Our much loved humble Kiwi Bach is a great escape from the busy lives we lead. Set back from the road it is quiet with the exception of the native birdsong in the backyard trees. Without all the city light pollution the night stars are amazing & from the font deck & bedroom you can listen to the sound of the waves from stunning Cooks Beach which is just a short 4 minute walk away.

At the back of the property there is a tidal stream & the back gate gives you access to a pathed walk around the residential lake area. Please be aware that both the stream & the lake are not fenced.
If you prefer a more adventurous local walk our favourites include the walks to Lonely Bay & Shakespeare Cliff Lookout.

Our Bach is also just minutes walk to local restaurants & convenience stores & within a 15 mins drive you can be at either Hot Water or Hahei Beaches & access to the famous Cathedral Cove Walkway.

Alternatively for a spot of retail therapy or a trip to the movies the Ferry across to Whitianga is only a few minutes drive from Cooks Beach.
Also within a short drive are local Tennis Courts, the Purangi Golf Course, the Mercury Bay Winery & the popular Eggsentric & Colenso Cafes.

As the Bach relies on the supply of precious rain water we ask that you please bring your own linen & towels. If you are coming from overseas & this is an issue please let me know.

If you are looking for a place to get away & enjoy nature & some screen free time then we believe our beloved Bach is the perfect choice.

Perfect Kiwi bach
This was a really lovely old school bach, very private down a longish driveway off the road. Short walk to the beach or shops, two nice bedrooms, great deck, good parking. Couldn't have asked for more.

Awesome location
Great little Bach, everything you need. Fantastic location, we ate in both restaurants on different occasions and the food was beautiful! I wouldn’t have been able to easily wash my thick curly hair well with the water pressure in the shower but who gets all fancy when down by the beach?! Was a great easy stay for what we wanted, would recommend 😊

Simple batch in quiet location close to beach
Relaxed simple batch with everything you need in the kitchen and comfortable beds. Very quiet location. Tania is a pleasure to deal with. The property is on tank water. I suspect the whole of Cooks Beach is. The water is clear and lovely to drink but water pressure means you have a dribble of a shower and difficulties getting the temperature right. Easily fixed with an upgrade to the pump system. We would choose this batch again.
