There is no through-road, this is a destination, which gives it a peaceful and laid-back atmosphere, more than other nearby beach locations. The beach is inviting, family and adult friendly with safe swimming at one end and a good surf break at the other. There is good snorkelling and fishing spots around the headlands at each end of the bay, and a cluster of nearby islands to explore from a kayak. If you like walking, there are many beautiful places to explore in the surrounding area, including a section of the Te Araroa trail. Small boats can be launched from the beach or in the estuary in nearby Whananaki. The estuary is also a great place to explore, walk out to the ocean, kayak among the mangroves or sail a dinghy when the tide is in. The local store supplies all the essentials and has great coffee, burgers, seafood and pizza during the peak season. Relaxation is the key pursuit with a large deck attached to the living area and a flat lawn out the back. The bach is comfortable and basic in a classic NZ bach way. The bedrooms are on the small size, making it more suitable for families or groups of four. There are board games and books and good coverage for both Vodafone and Spark. We have wifi, and the wifi name ("SSID") is hidden - don't tell the kids! This really is a special part of New Zealand, and we love sharing the bach with others who will take good care of it. The water supply is rainwater collected from the roof, only after the rain has washed the roof for a while. It provides clean water that tastes like fresh untreated water should. Please conserve water in the summer months. The house will be spotlessly clean on your arrival and we ask that guests leave it reasonably clean and tidy, particularly in the peak summer months when our local cleaner has to turn the house around very quickly. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Kayak - Fishing 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) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ## Similar properties ![On the beach, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33650000/33645300/33645287/53584634.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Absolute waterfront, private paradise.
