About this house rental
Pipi Palace is a traditional kiwi bach located 800 metres from both the surf beach and the estuary at the southern end of Whangamata. The nine hole golf course is only two streets away.
There is plenty of room for parking (cars and boat - easy access).
In addition to sleeping five comfortably in the main house (two double plus one single bedrooms), the bunk house has room for another couple with a queen sized bed.
The large front deck offers breakfast with the rising sun (for the early birds) or a place to just relax and soak up the rays, and the spacious deck at the rear allows one to relax after a hard day at the beach and unwind as you watch the sun set over the Coromandel ranges, or cooking up the catch of the day on the BBQ.
Beautiful spring water is on tap courtesy of the on-site bore.
Staying in for the evening? A 42" widescreen TV with DVD Player, plus Freeview reception fits the bill, or choose from a range of board games to play or a substantial library of books to read.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only please.
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets);

Perfect family bach
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Pipi Palace was ideal for our family of 7. Lovely indoor/outdoor flow with decks front and back. Well equipped bach with comfortable beds and with a great shower both inside and outside. Excellent location in a nice quiet street with easy walk to the beach. Look forward to staying again!

Home away from home
Really enjoyed our stay, suited the whole family, tramp and tree hut fun for the younger kids, outside room and shower was a hit with our young adults. Close enough to the beach for kids to walk. Good evening set up with bbq and great private sheltered area. Very good selection of DVDS for evening chilling out. We loved the place .

Relax at the Palace
Lovely place with great outdoor decking for BBQ and dining. Decking lends itself to both morning and afternoon shade (which we needed as the weather was amazing).
Friendly owners made us feel very welcome.

We have stayed at Pipi Palace several times now. It is a genuine 'kiwi bach' with everything we needed but nothing we didn't. It is located close to town but far enough away to be peaceful. We love staying there and would highly recommend it.

The true Kiwi Bach ,great games books ect for the children .Plenty of room outside .The bach interior was fine ,though we found the sofas were far too small for people over 6ft .The outside shower was great but the inside shower door did require some attention .Over all it suited us for such a short time .

Nice and clean (considering noones made to pay for a cleaner - awesome!) and there was heaps to keep the kids occupied, bikes, kayaks, petanque, cricket etc. All you need for a simple summer holiday.

Pipi Palace was even better than we had hoped for. The property is maintained to a high standard and was very clean and comfortable in every way. The kitchen was well stocked with a variety of crockery, glassware, utensils, salad bowls, etc there was nothing additional we needed over our 7 day stay.
The bikes, boogey boards, golf clubs, camping chairs, canoes and surf boards were an amazing bonus and provided much entertainment.
I have no hesitation in recommending Pipi Palace.
