A bach to call home, pet friendly!

This typical kiwi bach is the perfect place to relax and create memories with your family and friends, only 3 walking minutes from Kawhia Wharf, pub, food places, The Boating Club, golf course, playground, very central.
Ocean Beach, with its hot pools, is 6 minutes driving and Aotea, perfect for a walk on the beach and a swimming, 10 minutes.
Plenty of options to keep you and your loved ones entertained, from charter boats, fishing from the Wharf or if you feel like exploring further, Marakopa Falls and The Natural Bridge (1 hour away).
For the avid fisherman, the property offers a filleting station and a great smoking house!

Great bach in central Kawhia
We enjoyed our stay in Kawhia - the bach is a great size for a small to medium family and has a nice sunny deck. Perfect location just a couple of minutes' walk to the waterfront.
