Sandy Bay Kiwiana Classic

This Bach offers a classic Kiwiana feel with its two for one tidy old school style living quarters on a 1000m2 flat section set right next to a small canal full of pet eels along with all sorts of native birds including the Bandit Rail & Teal duck. Plenty of room for tents, back yard cricket, manoeuvring the boat etc & just 90 second walk to the beach.
Sea biscuit, water ski’s, kayak’s, water sports gear, swing-ball, cricket set, boules, frisbee etc all available for use.
Boat wash area, fish filleting station, smoke / marshmallow fire house.

Kiwi Bach tradition is to bring your own sheets, towels, tea towels, linen etc and leave the Bach in the same state as you found it in, do the cleaning and dishes after use, take your own rubbish, welcome to leave recycling behind in the designated bins available.
Please notify if the cleaning doesn’t really work for you & we will have this done for a cleaning fee.

Please note this Bach is ‘old school’ not new or modern so expect it not to be perfect, fine for the majority, & not always checked over after last quests, we expect all guests to leave the place in a tidy & cleaned state.

Full refund up to two weeks before the booking, 50% refund up to between one & two weeks before the booking, no refund within one week of booking.
As you could imagine this is a more remote place than the average general booking hence the firmer refund policy.

Tank water - boil before drinking or bring own water, please conserve water.
Colville station / store & cafe approx 35-40mins drive.
No cats. Dogs to be tied up if likely to chase native birds etc.

Great place
Two unique abodes. One was aimed at shower/bathroom. the other was open plan with kitchen. Easy boat launch. There are lots of good features here. e.g. boat wash down and filleting table etc.

Very well set out with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Love the relaxed indoor / out door feel . Plenty of hot water . Beautiful scenery. A nice place if you want to get away and relax . Tough if you forgot something .( extra food or alcohol) because closest shop is a while away but everything was there that you needed. Highly recommended AAAA+++++
