Relax and Enjoy - Waterfront Bach in Ngakuta Bay

A fully equipped holiday home in an easy accessible location. Direct access to water in front of the bach, larger boat launching ramp and jetty 2 minutes down the road.
Tenting area available. Family friendly. Extras include: BBQ, Outdoor games ,free use of a sit on kayak and dingy , lifejackets and fishing gear included. Freeview TV.
Our holiday home has been in the family for over 40 years . The lounge is particularly spacious and the section private, sheltered and a sunny location. It is an enjoyable place for the whole family to relax and enjoy with special extras like a children's fun bush walk and some friendly wekas within the property. By night a short stroll away are some glow worms that are well worth the look. For active holiday makers there are many bush walks to other bays in the area or mountain biking tracks to explore.

Lots of quiet places to pick up a book or fishing rod and take some space for yourself. There is a deck for enjoying summer meals, and alongside that an outdoor fireplace area where, so long as there is no fire ban, you can chat and relax with a drink or two as the family toast marshmallows.
The bach is also stocked with plenty of board games, books (adults and childrens) as well as DVDS for rainy days or if you feel like relaxing indoors.

Personal feedback we have received is that the holiday home is a special and favourite place. Easy to stay at and a unique property and location.

Lovely sunny property; even in the middle of winter! Plenty of space to hang out and play games. Had fun with the dinghy too. One kayak is a kids one too small for our smallish adult; didn’t discover that till we’d carried it all the way down to the water LOL. Thanks for a lovely stay!

What a wonderful getaway!! So much to do with the kayaks, dingy and water access right from the house! and the mean beach just a short walk away. The house was child friendly and the top deck all gated which made for a stress free time with out 1.5 year old. The pool table kept us well entertained, as did the board games and kids toys, and the kitchen was well equipped. Lots of different outdoor seating areas to catch wherever the sun is hitting the deck! And a very comfy bed!! We would love to stay here again, what a beautiful get away! Thanks to the Blacks

Perfect getaway for re-uniting friends

For 3 couples this was so enjoyable. Plenty of space, great facilities, lots of activity...and we had great weather.One little hitch with the sit on kayak...has holes in it and started sinking with someone on it out in the middle of the bay.
