Modern Kiwi Bach, OTP Bach

Our purpose built holiday home is located in the heart of One Tree Point, very close to the Marsden Cove waterways and marina development. Nestled near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a very sheltered section, it is only steps from a beautiful safe swimming beach within the Whangarei Harbour. The Bach sleeps 6 with a maximum of 4 adults, it offers plenty of off street parking, and is equipped with a handy hot/cold outdoor shower for easy sand removal after a day at the beach. One Tree Point is a fabulous beach side holiday destination located half and hours drive south of Whangarei, and only 90 minutes drive from central Auckland. Located near the entrance of the Whangarei Harbour, it offers easy launching and safe boating all year round and many safe swimming locations. Facilities within easy walking distance of our bach include a fabulous waterside cafe, liquor wholesaler, hair and beauty therapist and local dairy. A childrens playground is close by and we are only a few minutes drive from the Ruakaka shopping centre.

Surprisingly big bach with everything you need, recommend.
Nice and tidy. Solid bach with great bi-folding deck doors on a quiet street. We were lucky to have a sunny day when we stayed in between the rainy days which were in Auckland. Everything you needed was there. We all enjoyed our stay.

This is a great modern little bach.
This is a great modern little bach. It had everything we needed for the weekend and I would happily go back with my family. Flat section, deck low to the ground so safe for my crawling baby, comfortable and clean. I also appreciated the shade sails and the outlook over the garden. Thanks guys, we'd come back.

Fantastic Property & Experience
This Bach was perfect for our young family of five who stayed just over a week. We loved its thoughtful construction - functional clean & robust. Items like the outdoor shower, large covered area & fish filleting area just make washing down Sandy kids & boogie boards a breeze. Even through a cyclone & a rainy week, it’s location near the school, cafe, beach etc meant our family had a great stay & would love the opportunity to stay again. The owners were great with comms & no fuss, even keeping us aware of planned council works in the area etc. Thank you so much.

Great trip away
Great property for our small family, the bach has a great beach vibe and is relaxing place to chill out and spend some down time, small beach at the end of the street and plenty other beaches that are a short drive, the place was clean and tidy, is well equipped and has a great deck which opens up from the lounge area. Thanks Lance for having us!
