Peaceful & restorative Awhitu Peninsula retreat-80 minutes from Auckland CBD

  • Charming three-bedroom beachside bach with stunning harbour views.

With three bedrooms and three bathrooms plus a fold out couch in the lounge, this home can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests. Please bring your own sleeping bags for a cozy stay!

    Situated right on the water's edge, you'll be just a moment's drive from the local boat ramp, making it easy to explore the harbour. The bach is a short walk in both directions from safe, secluded tidal beaches, ideal for kids to play happily on the white sand under the beautiful pōhutukawa trees.

    At night, the clear skies offer a breathtaking view of the stars, providing the perfect end to your day. Located just over an hour's drive from Auckland's CBD, this coastal getaway is ideal for a quiet and relaxing retreat.

    Nearby, you'll find a children's playground, dairy/takeaway bar, gas station, golf club, and more, making your stay as convenient as it is relaxing.
