Modern and all on one level with fully fenced yard, north facing outdoor deck with seating for 10. This bach is a 300m stroll through the park with tennis courts to beautiful lake, marina & shop. We purchased this property in March 2023 and have refurbished it to be a perfect holiday escape especially for families and respectful adults. The bookshelf is stacked with board games and best selling books. There’s a Webber BBQ, new espresso machine, two lounge areas with Smart TVs in each, kids rumpus with games and a ping pong table (converted dining). Magnificent location. We are nestled between the famous Golf Course and Kinloch domain with playground and tennis court. Stroll through the domain to the shop, lake and marina. We love the walks and mountain bike tracks including Kawakawa Bay and Great Lakes. Entry to Whangamata Reserve is next to our neighbour’s house! This house can accomodate up to 10 in 4 bedrooms (one is large rumpus with pull out couch). Cot available on request. Large yard ideal for cricket (bat, ball, tennis rackets provided). Dogs welcome in communal areas only (section is fenced and gated). This house is set up as a relaxing retreat with all mod cons. Perfect for families. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 55 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Next to a golf course - On a lake ### Things to do - Golf - Table tennis - Tennis ### 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) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33740000/33734100/33734019/120b4431.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### “CedarView at Kinloch” - a brilliant 3 bedroom holiday home with stunning views Kinloch - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 219 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=33734019&PinnedHotelID=33734019&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34280000/34271200/34271197/180-0445c6e0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning beach front bach Kinloch - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 94 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=34271197&PinnedHotelID=34271197&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![3 bedrooms, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114950000/114948600/114948538/6a11cc86.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Acacia Bay Retreat | Stylish Family Getaway with Fireplace & Lake Views Acacia Bay - Kitchen - Washer - Parking available - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 2 reviews CA $176 CA $410 total includes taxes & fees Nov 13 - Nov 14 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-13&endDate=2025-11-14&selected=114948538&PinnedHotelID=114948538&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76770000/76762700/76762700/0a92c05b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### If I can dream with wifi & pets Hilltop - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=76762700&PinnedHotelID=76762700&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111220000/111216800/111216792/6c61015c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stroll to the Lake - only 250m away!
