Just a short stroll to the water or into town

For the weekend getaway you can't beat this little bach which has just been renovated and comes with all you might need for just a couple of nights, or a week long stay!

Our bach is privately owned and the comforts of your own home have been replicated here.

On your arrival just be prepared to just relaxing as everything will be taken care of for you. This bach is all inclusive with linen, towels and extra bedding if you wanted a couple of extras on futons in the living area.

A short stroll to the closest beach of only 150 meters and a walk over the hill to the town of Paihia and ferry crossing to Russell.

The bach has an outdoor area (decking) and grassed area (that over time will be landscaped). There is also car parking.

No need to pack ample of clothing for the extra long stays as there is a washing machine within the bach. For those rainy days, indulge in a wide range of dvds available for your use.
Special conditions:
Some pets accepted. Message for further details and information.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$65.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Nice place to stay
Nice and cozy place for a solo or a couple. A car would be recommended as it is not walkable to many of the places you may wish to go, although taxis are easy to get and affordable. Very clean and I enjoyed the back deck.

We enjoyed 5 days here and we were very comfortable. It was a short walk to Paihia along the beach if the tide was low enough. The bach was well equipped and we cooked meals on a couple of occasions.

Lovely place
The batch is lovely, easy to find and to access. Nice walk up and down the hill to Paihia center. The place has all the commodities needed and a very nice interior design touch. The only downside was the proximity with neighbours who like to play loud music in the morning.
