Stroll from the surf club along the beach and take in the wonder of the wild west coast, the scenery is spectacular! Your accomodation provides the gateway to any number of incredible bush and beach walks or simply stay home and soak up the ambience of your bach with its landscaped garden and native flora. If you've got kids then they're going to love boogie boarding down the awesome sand dunes on the edge of Lake Wainamu, there is plenty of safe swimming there too. For the more adventurous take a walk around the lake then cool off in the waterfalls. There's also rock fishing and the well known O' Neils surf beach within walking distance and a 10 minute drive will take you to the Waitakere golf club with its amazing bush backdrop. Through the winter, take one of the many local walks and return home to hot chocolate and a warm fire. Or alternatively, head to Henderson (20 mins drive) where you will find wave pools, movies, shopping, Crystal Mountain (theme park for kids) and other activities. During the summer months sample some renowned West Coast food and drink at the Bethells Cafe. Special conditions: Please note that cellphone coverage is not great at Bethells. We do not have a television but plenty of board games:) ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a lake ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/38000000/37997900/37997830/bb3c191e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great for Family, Private Getaway, Accommodation for Local Events.
