About this house rental

Close to the beautiful Oakura beach, only 5 min walk away.
The local shops and great pub are only a 2 min walk away.
Oakura is a top summer holiday destination. With a beautiful beach, mountain walks, great surf spots, children's playgrounds, local shops and tennis courts at your doorstep what more could you want. This small village has so much to offer. The house is north west facing so you get loads of sun from morning till night.
There are some beautiful walk tracks around and only a 10 minute drive in to New Plymouth to make the most of the Coastal Walkway, Pukekura Park and the Brooklands Zoo. Also on in Pukekura Park is the Festival of Lights which provides a light show and entertainment most nights in Pukekura Park from mid Dec - late Jan all for free. This is such a spectacle it is not to be missed.

We loved our stay in the Bach in Oakura. Howie was very responsive and helpful. The house had everything we needed. The beds were really comfortable. The backyard was spacious and well fenced and we loved the deck. We walked into Oakura using the walkway at the end of the street.

Tidy, clean and well presented 2 bedroom house on large, private rear section. Open plan dining and lounge opens onto well furnished deck. Easy walk to shops, cafe and pub and approx' 500m to beach. House was perfect in providing easy access to the beach for swims and walks, yet only 15 minutes from central New Plymouth.

We had a great time staying at Howie's place - large fully fenced yard was good for the dog, and plenty of space to relax inside and outside on the spacious deck. Nice 10 min walk to the beach through the forest too. Our second time staying there, and we'll be keen to stay again in future

Relaxing stay for small family

Relaxing stay for small family

This was the second time we have stayed at Howie's place. We really enjoy both the house, and Oakura generally. The house is especially good if you want to travel with your dog, and / or a young child as it is a nice large fully fenced section, and Howie is really good with allowing pets inside, which is rare for rental beaches. The house is also very well equipped and very comfortable. The location is very handy to Oakura Village, and the beach via a nice ten minute walk through a lovely Bush reserve. Unfornately the house has recently lost its view of the sea, and some of its privacy, due to a brand new apartment building in front of it, but the view was never the drawcard anyway.

A great spot

A great spot

Definitely a home away from home and so nice to be away from town, although New Plymouth is only 10 mins away. Really peaceful and secure for the doggies, a really well equipped kitchen (although believe it or not it’s the one time we needed a corkscrew and couldn’t find one, ha!) and the most comfortable bed. Howie was an excellent host, so keen to make sure we had everything we needed and great communication . Would highly recommend Oakura Bach.

Homely and perfect for families. Had everything we needed.

Some communication issues at the beginning with concerns as to why I had not been notified that all monies had been paid and access information shared. Was kindly sorted by the owner in the end with a very generous offer to extend our check out time to a time convenient to us. This arrangement was appreciated.

A very basic Bach. Very comfortable beds but it could have been cleaner and the lawns weren’t even mown. It now over looks a construction site and will in no time at all be built out which will affect sun etc.

Rustic appearance with a large section. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and plenty of wood for heating. Ideal summer or winter to spread out and also make the most of the great location near the beach and 10 mins drive into New Plymouth. Howie, the owner was very helpful in providing details for check in. We’d definitely stay there again.
