Fully fenced family and pet friendly iconic kiwi bach awaits

3 bedroom bach with spacious fully fenced section. Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac with large reserve to kick around a ball or play cricket and also direct entrance into mountain bike and walking tracks through forest.

Fantastic in the summer months and also very warm in winter with a log fire. A 10 minute walk through sand hills to Foxton Beach. Sheltered, quiet section with ample room for kids and dogs to run around. Off the kitchen is a sheltered launday/porch area for your pooch to snuggle up at night. An easy 10-minute walk to a large kids playground and skate park, cafe/restaurant. Not much further take a walk/bike ride up the stunning Estuary to enjoy the view and then munch down some good old kiwi fish n chips or pick up some supplies from the local four-square store.

Enjoy the evening by the fire, watching telly or with a game of darts or pool in the garage.

Base rate per night covers up to 4 guests. There is an additional guest fee of $20 per extra guest per night.

There is also unlimited WiFi at the property - @ $20 per stay.

Special conditions:

The bach was as described and had everything we needed for our stay. Being allowed to bring our pet, a fully fenced section and quick access to walking tracks under the pines made it a very good dog friendly destination.

The house suited us perfectly. It was also ideal for our 2 little dogs who loved getting out into the woods with us. We would (hopefully will) be back at some point in the future.

Lovely spot for a wee family holiday. Easy bike ride to the playground and bike park which our 3 year old loved. Lots of space inside and everything we needed. Quite warm when it reached 28 degrees but we used the fans.

We’ve stayed here a few times now and always love it. Added bonuses with amazing fire, and a heap of citrus trees laden with fruit. Thanks again for another brilliant stay.

We loved our stay! The house had everything we needed. Such a relaxing, perfectly located house. The fully fenced section was great for the dog and there were so many walk options close by.

Right by a peaceful forest & 5 mins walk from the beach. Fruit trees in the fenced garden. We stayed in winter/spring and had a roaring fire and a very relaxing stay. Lovely place to get away for a few days and recharge.

Just needed to escape - perfect! Homely, comfortable, relaxing. Walks and beaches better than our poor old battered Napier! Pensioners and dog - we love this place.

We loved the quiet location with access to beach & forest. (Our dogs loved it too!) Nothing fancy about the house, but had everything we needed, and it felt like a well-loved Bach.

Great location, a lovely comfy bach - great section and being fully fenced meant it was great for the dogs, who were able to sleep in the porch are (another bonus). I meet a few of the friendly locals on my walks through the dunes. Recommend for your next getaway - I certainly hope to return.

Great setting with everything you need. Clean and tidy.

Very comfortable and quite roomy for even a large group. Everything needed in a normal home is supplied in good quantities and we were able to start our break straight away and replace supplies before we left. Really enjoyed the forest walks and would be great with a bike. Easy access to three great beaches (Foxton, Waitarere and Himatanga).

The house was totally suitable for our family get-together of 6 adults We liked the large dining table and lounge area. The road end location was easy to find and it was a nice quiet neighbourhood. Proximity to beach was also perfect. Thank you :)

This was a fantastic place for families as plenty of room outside and also the reserve and forest next door which the children just loved. If you need more accommodation then directly across the road is another bookabatch the we also used. So having two houses in walking distance was amazing.

We loved this place so much! It was like the perfect classic kiwi Bach but with modern comforts and plenty of space so it didn’t feel too much like being in the 1960s. The big, fully fenced garden was great for keeping our dog and toddler contained and entertained! The bathroom was great. The kitchen was really functional (so great having a dishwasher). The giant couch was big enough for our leggy bunch. The location next to the forest reserve is really peaceful and beautiful. Loved the walk through the dunes to the beach but we warned it is quite long! A bit much for our littlest. We will be trying to come back for another stay next summer!
