Fully fenced family and pet friendly iconic kiwi bach awaits

3 bedroom bach with spacious fully fenced section. Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac with large reserve to kick around a ball or play cricket and also direct entrance into mountain bike and walking tracks through forest.

Fantastic in the summer months and also very warm in winter with a log fire. A 10 minute walk through sand hills to Foxton Beach. Sheltered, quiet section with ample room for kids and dogs to run around. Off the kitchen is a sheltered launday/porch area for your pooch to snuggle up at night. An easy 10-minute walk to a large kids playground and skate park, cafe/restaurant. Not much further take a walk/bike ride up the stunning Estuary to enjoy the view and then munch down some good old kiwi fish n chips or pick up some supplies from the local four-square store.

Enjoy the evening by the fire, watching telly or with a game of darts or pool in the garage.

Base rate per night covers up to 4 guests. There is an additional guest fee of $20 per extra guest per night.

There is also unlimited WiFi at the property - @ $20 per stay.

Special conditions:
Two-night minimum stay
3 nights for long weekends
No smoking inside please.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to leave the bach as you wish to find it (full cleaning supplies provided), bring your own linen (towels/sheets). If you want us to take care of the cleaning for you then please advise at time of booking and we can add on a cleaning fee to your booking. Update Feb 2026: due to storm damage the park and reserve are temporarily closed

We thought this was a good place that suited our needs. It was good with the fire which made it nice and cosy. It was tidy when we arrived. Great for being a dog owner as the walks were close and the back yard was great for her to run around.
