About this Holiday House

WINNER of Bronze in a NZ 'Best Bach Setting' awards this elevated absolute waterfront property enjoys spectacular sea views to the Poor Knight Islands and the Whananaki coastline from nearly every room in the house. Set on 5 acres, fringed by pohutukawas and native bush along the shoreline this unique property enjoys two private beaches and its own mooring in a sheltered, all weather sandy bay. Breakfast at the outside table with sea views to die for, recline on the deck and soak up the all day sun, play volleyball or cricket on the massive front lawn, wander along a loop track through native bush to the point - a special place to sit and contemplate above the ocean, check out on a side track what was once a small Maori pa, walk down our private track with steps to the beach to swim, fish off the point, snorkel or dive for crays, take our two kayaks for a paddle around the bay or along the coast or take your boat off the mooring and out for a day's fishing. The fish and cray in the photos were caught from the offshore reef just out from the beach. Winter fishing is best here. We are two and a half hrs from Auckland, a little over half an hr to Whangarei and only 5 minutes to a great surf beach, 2 minutes to a boat launching ramp in the Whananaki estuary or 3 minutes to the local general store (no fuel). Our dining table seats 10 to 12. Tiled ensuite plus separate upstairs and downstairs bathrooms, 2 fridges plus a stand alone chest freezer. Fish cleaning bench, bait freezer. There is heaps of parking and turning for boats, cars and trailers. We charge a bond of $500 to cover any loss/damage.

Went with 3 families and this place was wonderful for us. The most incredible views and everything you needed. So fun having the private beach with the 2 kayaks. Will be back!
Mike Walters
This is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever stayed! Heaps of room. Steve was great to deal with and the house was well stocked.
Raewyn Morrison
Our group highly recommends this house. We were between 13 -16 adults over 3 nights and although some people had to share rooms, that was no issue. The house is set on quite a large point of land with access to a private beach. The house itself is well equipped and has heaps of space. The view out to the Poor Knights from the lounge picture window is spectacular. It is a great place to base yourself for exploring the Whananaki area. The owner was very easy to deal with prompt, clear communication.

The weekend rates apply to any public holidays. Mid week rates during the period February to December are discounted from the higher weekend rates. Easter is a min 4 night booking at weekend rates.

The TV has freeview with a satellite dish or bring yr own Sky decoder.

Linen (optional) at $20 per person.

Cleaning $200 per stay

Dogs by arrangement.


Blankets/duvets provided on all beds as part of the general rental. Electric blankets not on 4 bunk beds.

Rental starts at 6 pm and ends at 2 pm to allow servicing between different parties. I don't mind groups starting earlier or finishing later in the day if the bach isn't being used by other groups that day (let me know if you want to do this).

I offer free cancellation if the weather looks bad . However, of the 9 groups I have offered this to over 8 years none have cancelled and 8/9 found the weather far better than forecast. A line of hills behind us funnels a lot of rain away so we are far drier than say Whangarei.
