About this property

Ocean Blue, sunny, spacious beach home close to surf & shops

  • Spacious and sunny 3 bed home ideal for your next beach holiday. The well designed living area is open plan and extends out onto a large deck & lawn with outdoor furnishings & BBQ. Extras such as beach toys, ping pong & being pet friendly make this home perfect for a family or group of friends. Central location only a few mins stroll to the beach and a 5 min drive to the main village with many shops, cafes and restaurants. Nearby is local favourite Surf Shack Cafe, dairy, fish & chips and estuary walkway.

    There are three comfortable bedroom all with Queen size beds opening into the living area. The master bedroom has its own ensuite and the other two bedrooms use the seperate bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet. The garage has a laundry, ping pong table and lots of beach toys such as boogie boards and sun umbrellas for guest use. The large open plan lounge area with fully equipped kitchen and dining area is perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The living opens onto the landscaped garden and deck with an indoor/outdoor flow perfect for that holiday feel.

    Relax on the outdoor bean bags enjoying a glass of wine while the kids run around on the lawn. Cook on that BBQ and enjoy outdoor dining on the deck with ample seating options. It really doesn't get any easier on holiday!

    There is room to park a small 4-6M boat at the property and there is a ramp 5 minutes away at Bowentown, with a protected tidal harbour for fishing, water skiing, kayaking and wind surfing or venture out across the bar for excellent fishing and diving. Enjoying a round of golf is possible in Waihi and Katikati. There are also mineral hot pools nearby at both Athenree Holiday Park and Sapphire Springs in Katikati (if you go to Sapphire Springs take the nearby walk to the southernmost giant Kauri in NZ, a short 30 min round trip through beautiful NZ bush). There's a huge range of great cafes and shops in the area, the best are mentioned in our local guidebook or feel free to ask your host if you have any specific questions.

Perfect place

This property is super clean, comfortable and in a great position. It was sun-soaked during the day and warm at night with an extremely efficient gas heater. The main living is a big social space connected to outdoor living. What a perfect holiday spot with everything you need. We are private people and appreciate not being disturbed during our stay.

We had an absolutely fantastic time!We were very impressed with the well stocked kitchen utensils, as we love cooking. We were also blown away by the peaceful layout and atmosphere, not to mention the fun times with the Ping Pong table. Was just simply so reviving. Thank you for your amazing hospitality and hope to potentially stay again next Summer!

Excellent, Relaxing, 3N Stay @‘Ocean Blue’

Excellent three night stay at “ocean blue“. Property was well appointed, super clean, had just about everything we needed. We really liked the design of the property, the abundance of windows and the fact that you can open up to the outside. it was wonderful. The property is within walking distance to the beach and just around the corner from the surf shack restaurant. I would highly recommend.

Outstanding property

Wish that all rentals worked like this one. Matt was super helpful and great communicator. Property was better than anticipated and location was excellent. A genuine 5 star plus listing. Wish that we’d booked for longer. Thanks Matt!

Relaxing beach break

We really enjoyed a few days away from hectic, stressful lives and we couldn't have picked a better place! The beach is close, a dairy even closer. There were books, table tennis and lovely outdoor spaces for chilling. The beds were comfortable and the house was perfectly presented. We'll be back.
