Coromandel Classic Bach with Great views

AVAILABILITY IN JAN 2025!! ....Just 5 minutes walk to stunning white sand beach, estuary for little ones, surf beach next bay, surrounded by bush with spectacular views from both decks and all rooms. The night sky is full of stars, surrounded by bush and private. The bay is great for swimming and 'teeny' bay just round some rocks is shallow, beach has an esturary which is great for little ones. We've even had a kiwi walking down our driveway at night you might hear them! Recently renovated with new kitchen (still bach style!), brand new beds/ bedding. Sleep x8 three queen and one double bedroom plus a fold out couch in large downstairs room. Vintage style. Four hours from Auckland with a beautiful drive along the Thames Coast with great seafood for sale along the way. Weber bbq, outdoor dining table, outdoor shower, 2x umbrellas top deck, bottom deck cool in summer. Nearest shop 20 min drive (camp store next bay in summer),wifi, bose speaker, no TV (please bring your own device). Downstairs bedrooms are connected by an exterior covered staircase only so you have to go on to covered lower deck then up the back covered staircase to get to upstairs. Fans and ceiling fan in living room. Bedrooms aren't large!! - in fact the deck is almost as big as the house. Bach check in fee is $160 (they do a clean / open / close for you and check on departure). In NZ tradition please leave bach clean when you leave and take your rubbish with you and please don't forget to clean the bbq! After vist you can arrange an exit clean in advance for $160 but please do your own dishes, and clean refrigerator. Please do not leave any bait / frozen items in freezer. Linen ($30 per bed) is available on request. BYO towels. Parking in driveway up to 4 cars. Please no loud music after 12pm.

Fantastic spot and great for our family group but could use a little tlc and airing maybe. p

Great views, location and all utilities worked well for a classic kiwi bach. A bit of shade on the deck and a spruce up would add to the experience. Overall a great experience.

Fabulous location for a relax or an adventure

Traditional old kiwi bach. Great views and cool retro decor. Easy walk to the beach. There was an issue with some of the power sockets but Pam had an electrician sorted for the next morning. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks!

Little Bay bach

This was a property with fine views, a few minutes walk from Little Bay beach. We enjoyed the beach which was very quiet on the weekdays especially and also visited the neighbouring Waikawau beach which was lovely. The bach had some nice features and decor in a retro style. The kitchen manly would benefit from being refurbished which we understand is planned. We visited with our children and there are few facilities nearby so come prepared.

Disappointing

This property was in an amazing location, and I was sold by the pictures of the deck and the view, which were great. Unfortunately it was pretty unclean, mouse poo everywhere, on most of the beds and the couch. Duvets were stained, bedrooms musty. We are all trampers and campers and don't have high standards and accept that rodents do go in houses, but it states that this house gets checked before arrival - clearly it was not. So really not sure what the $160 was for!

The Bach family holiday

fabulous location. I felt that there was a big gap between info online and then the further info provided by the host and the reality. The two upstairs bedrooms were fine. The two downstairs incredibly musty. We could not use the bedding from. downstairs. Thankfully we had brought some with us. No internal access between upstairs and downstairs made it difficult with the makeup if the group, I.e. children and adults. It was also very very rainy so that added to the problem if no internal access between levels. The kitchen was well equipped . We appreciated the games and DVD available to use, the WiFi and DVD player. Great decks but unfortunately for us the weather was against us using them. The laundry was well equipped and the bathroom fine. As mentioned an awesome location. The beach us lovely, very near and safe. Again the weather was against us here. I think it would have worked better if the weather had been fine. I think that if just using upstairs it would be fine even if raining. I would recommend to the owners to sort out downstairs because the two rooms there are lovely especially opening onto the lower deck , just too musty to be comfortable.

Making wondeful memories with family

We absolutely loved everything about staying at Pam's bach in littles Bay. Our dogs had wonderful stay too and felt quite at home. We all enjoyed the beach and had it all to ourselves while we had a swim and a sunbathe. You must check out Pam's book Salt which was in the downstairs bedroom. The kitchen was well stoked with all the utensils we needed to prepare large family meals and plenty of space. We hope to return to make more family memories in the future. Thanks very much for the use of your kiwi bach by the beach!

Perfect Family Bach in paradise

We loved our stay, and so enjoyed the kiwi-ness of the bach, so well equipped in the kitchen, most baches are not, so that was wonderful, location, views and sunshine, games, books and just lounging in the comfortable quintessential kiwi bach. Loved it!

Little Bay Scenic Hideaway

Compact cottage, but had everything you could ever need, the only thing I would add is something for shade on the top deck. Beautiful, secluded spot but very close to the beach and fantastic views of Little Bay.

The Goode Life Indeed!

Having arrived back in the city after our time in Little Bay we are left thinking wistfully of the holiday we just had at Pam's beautiful bach. The house is charming, extensively kitted out and comfortable, with two sunny decks and a view out to the ocean. On New Years Eve as we sat enjoying a drink, Tui darted around us, a pod of dolphins played in the bay, and a local put on one of the most astonishing firework displays I have ever witnessed. Pam is an hospitable and accommodating host, leaving us all the odds and ends we needed to enjoy our time. Thank you Pam for a fabulous stay, we can't wait to come back.

Wonderful Little Bay

Little Bay is an amazing location. The bach is only a few minutes from the beach. We were there the week before Christmas and it was very quiet. We took our dog Moosie who had a wonderful time although her fixation with the endangered dotterels was a bit of a challenge. The bach has everything you need although proximity to bush resulted in plenty of critters in the house. However would definitely stay again, just the break we needed. Thanks Pam!

Best House In the Bay

We had an amazing time here. Beautiful, Kiwiana bach. The property manager was amazing and the neighbors were very friendly. This back is well stocked up with beautiful vintage goods that make you feel like you're at a kiwi bach. Am coming back again would recommend it. Been to many bachs at Little bay, this is one of the hidden gems
