The bach is nestled among mature totara trees and is home to many native birds. It has a lovely open garden and an extensive view across the estuary which will fill up during spring high tides. It is only a 30 second walk across the other side of the road to a very safe swimming beach. There are two kayaks to use and the garden and estuary are interesting safe places for children to play while parents sit and relax on the deck. The living area is open and cosy with an efficient wood burner to keep the house warm in the winter months. There are two good sized bedrooms that look across the estuary and are both light and well insulated; the larger bedroom has double glazing. A new bathroom has been recently added to the bach and the living room extended. It is a great place to escape and relax and offers long beach walks where you can observe the many wading birds, collect shellfish or just beach fossick. There are many beautiful natural locations nearby to visit by car including Wharariki beach which is only a 20 minute drive. Whatever you choose to do you will come home feeling better for taking the time to stay here. Special conditions: The house is very suitable for couples or a small family. The deck is less than a meter high and has not got railings, therefore would not be suitable for a toddler or baby without supervision. During the peak summer season a minimum booking for 2 nights is required. Extras: Cleaning (Optional, NZ$80.00 per stay); Linen (Optional, NZ$20.00 per bed); ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - No elevator - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Composting - Comprehensive recycling policy - Garden - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33570000/33560600/33560514/00a551a8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Library Bach - A special place people love!
