About this house rental
A cozy well kept bach in a great position [2 sunbeds for that afternoon snooze] with the shops and beach a short stroll away. A family bach with all the mod cons and comforts of home. This bach has been in our family since 1949 and has been added on and modernised but retained the retro feel (we get a lot of feedback from people who love the kiwiana theme). It's got a large section with fruit trees and plenty of space for the children to play.
We love to see the bach being used by families as we remember wonderful holidays there growing up.

Great spot
Had a great time in Whanga staying here. Close to town and the beach. It is an awesome kiwi bach and we appreciated having air con and a dishwasher that we hadn’t had at other old bach’s we had rented before. We’d definitely rent this one again.

Relaxed True Kiwi Bach
We had a lovely time staying here, enjoying the large backyard for BBQ's volleyball and soccer games. The airconditioning and proximity to the beach made it all the more enjoyable.
Will definitely return.

Great Location - perfect for our family of 5
It was a great house, had all that we needed for our family of 5 - 2 adults & 3 kids. We loved being able to walk to and from the beach, or walk to the shops. It was really hot when we were there so it was wonderful to have the air con option too! Thank you!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of holidaying here. The location is great. So close to town and the beach that I was able to calmly stroll to the shops/beach as opposed to the stress of battling for car parks. There is a huge back yard where I was able to have peace and quiet. We had a wonderful, comfortable relaxing stay. The check in process was thorough and efficient as was our checkout. I could not recommend enough.

a true gem
We stayed with our surf crew and it was simply perfect. You can walk to the bar and have a surf. The living room has the perfect size for a social evening. The location really is superb!
The batch wraps you in family memories and makes you feel as visiting your own family batch. We enjoyed our stay very much and are hoping to come back a lot :)
