Vintage with modern touches by the sea

We are just two houses away from the walkway down to the beach. Our bach is a lovely 1920s cottage with French doors, large deck and 3 bedrooms. Separate lounge, combined kitchen/dining with french doors onto the deck. We have just undergone a significant renovation and updated the kitchen (including a dishwasher), modernised the bathroom, as well as new flooring in kitchen, dining, laundry and bathrooms and a full repaint throughout. We have big comfy modern sofas to sink into and new beds, and enough vintage bits to keep it all cute and eclectic. We also have a collection of NZ art on display. Arrive, park your car and walk everywhere...we are a minute from the village shops, movies, library, banks, cafe's and a short walk to the beach and playgrounds.

We are kid friendly and have a good selection of toys, books and dvds. There are two playgrounds nearby as well as a huge grass reserve with trees and also a public paddling pool by the beach which is very popular with all kids. We are fully fenced. Brand new gas fire and infinity hot water keeps everyone toasty and comfortable....



Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$60.00 per stay); Linen (Required, NZ$10.00 per person);

Welcoming and comfortable
I stayed Friday to Monday (3 nights) and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The house is clean and tidy, everything is easy to find and it's well-equipped. It's literally a stone's throw from the beach. There are modern conveniences and contemporary decor but house still has it's 1920's character, right down to a claw-foot bath and the loo positioned in the washhouse near the back door. Having no internet connection is great if you want a break from the online world to enjoy your holiday in peace, but there's still digital TV if you're so inclined. Step back in time, and relax. You'll love it.

Relaxing retreat
A wonderful place to kick back and sew up a storm for a week. Without YouTube I got an amazing amount accomplished, and still had time to walk the Opunake trail, visit the beach and frequent the fantastic local cafes. Definitely recommend.

2 nights for a Wedding with our 8 month old + friends
This is a lovely little bach - homely and very clean and tidy with everything you need on a quiet street. There is a bunk room for kids, with toys and books, and two comfortable double rooms for adults. It has a great deck with a BBQ and a fenced back yard that is great for kids to play in. It is a 5 minute walk to both the beach and shops, so ideally located. Easy communication with host and accommodating of last minute changes as to how many people were staying. Would happily come back or recommend to others. Opunake is a cool little town!

Lovely beach holiday
We love the bach! We had a great family holiday. The bach is well set up for families with easy access to beach and shops, bbq, and plenty of rainy day activities. The house is comfortable and has everything you need. We like having no wifi so we can disconnect and totally unwind. Max and Angela are great communicators and make things easy.

Quaint property in great location
Comfortable little house handy to the beach and town, interesting layout, removal of the bath in favour of a second toilet would be an improvement. The sunny deck is great and access to the garden crops in sesson is very generous. Would stay again but not in the bunks!

Perfect Bach in Opunake
This bach has a great set up and layout for relaxing and going away with family. A lovely eating area, with seating built in around the windows and a large dining table for eating and hanging out, and with great sunsets in the evening as it faces west, french doors onto a large deck with table and benches, then a very comfortable cosy sitting room for cool evenings. It just has a lovely, friendly atmosphere and a very easy and relaxing place to stay, in a great location near to the beach. Angela is an excellent host, made it all easy, and an accomplished artist with her paintings on the wall, giving the bach a more personal feel. Would love to go back.
