Gunado - a cosy kiwi bach.

The bach is nestled among mature totara trees and is home to many native birds. It has a lovely open garden and an extensive view across the estuary which will fill up during spring high tides. It is only a 30 second walk across the other side of the road to a very safe swimming beach.

There are two kayaks to use and the garden and estuary are interesting safe places for children to play while parents sit and relax on the deck.

The living area is open and cosy with an efficient wood burner to keep the house warm in the winter months. There are two good sized bedrooms that look across the estuary and are both light and well insulated; the larger bedroom has double glazing. A new bathroom has been recently added to the bach and the living room extended.

It is a great place to escape and relax and offers long beach walks where you can observe the many wading birds, collect shellfish or just beach fossick. There are many beautiful natural locations nearby to visit by car including Wharariki beach which is only a 20 minute drive. Whatever you choose to do you will come home feeling better for taking the time to stay here.
Special conditions:
The house is very suitable for couples or a small family. The deck is less than a meter high and has not got railings, therefore would not be suitable for a toddler or baby without supervision.

During the peak summer season a minimum booking for 2 nights is required.

Extras: Cleaning (Optional, NZ$60.00 per stay); Linen (Optional, NZ$20.00 per person);

A great little getaway
A very well setup cosy place with some well thought out renovations. We loved the location and view across the inlet to the ranges and the birdsong when we woke up in the morning. The setting is amazing, on a spit tucked in amongst the Totara.

Peaceful spot
We had a lovely and peaceful time, watching the tide go in and out, revisiting Wharariki and Farewell Spit. Plenty of rain but it was still great to be there. The bach and location were exactly as described. (We appreciated the comfortable bed and well-equipped kitchen!)

Great place to telax
This is the third time we have stayed. We find the position very relaxing with lots of bird life and walks along the beach. The size of the Bach is ideal for us and is very well equipped.

Great Stay
The property has everything you need. Books, DVD's and firewood were thoughtfully provided for those rainy days, and canoes for beach weather. A very peaceful setting amongst the trees so easy to destress.

Great spot for exploring Golden Bay, or just to stay put
This was our third stay at Gunado, it's a great spot for a break. Ideally located for visiting places like Wharariki, Milnethorpe Bush, or Westhaven Inlet, but equally easy to just sit on the deck and watch the tide come in and out
