About this property

Comfortable retro bach, close to everything

This cute bach has recently been renovated for comfort with an authentic twist. The house is ready for a wonderful holiday on stunning Waiheke Island. It has wrap around decks, with large, covered areas, so you can use the bbq anytime. Relax in mid-century style, mixed with contemporary highlights. Curl up on the couch and enjoy the eclectic book collection. Wander down the road to the famous Ostend market on Saturday mornings, walk the new Te Ara Hura walkway which goes straight past the bach, or enjoy some of the neighbourhood cafes. Bring or rent a car or bike for the short trip to any of the beautiful beaches - Palm Beach is only 5 minutes away by car.
This is a simple house with a semi-rural outlook. It does not have a sea view, but the closest beach is a 5 minute stroll away. The cottage has its own off-road parking and sits on over half an acre of landscaped grounds, approx 30m from the main residence. A great base for a short stay or extended holiday on the island.

Doing some work on the island? The bach has unlimited free UFB WIFI and we can offer black and white printing if you need it. Reasonable printing charges apply.

We have a simple wall mounted TV with DVD and Chromecast, stream video from your mobile device or laptop, great for personal use, won't overwhelm the lounge.

Available all year round, for short stays and longer holidays. It has been insulated, and we have good heating, extra blankets for cold nights and plenty of hot water bottles to keep your feet warm, but hey we hardly ever get frosty nights on the island.

Special conditions:
No fences around the property, may not be suitable for small children.

Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

The place was a little hidden gem with a spectacular view from the living room.
The place was a little hidden gem with a spectacular view from the living room. We loved everything about it. The 50/60's style deco and the peace and quiet. The place was very conveniently located near farmers' markets and shops.

Wonderful bach, lovely garden
Bach was well equipped, private and convenient. Walked to Ostend—5-10 mins...Used buses to get to beaches snd bigger towns. Fun retro style, very nice owners live on other end of property. Worked at bach, WIFI strong. Owner baked some delicious bread!!! Maps and books very helpful! Make sure you use mosquito rep if you leave windows open all night! Loved the bird songs, and very safe location, so I left windows open all night. Thanks Jan and Jackie!!!

We stayed here for a long weekend and had an absolute ball !
We stayed here for a long weekend and had an absolute ball ! The inside of this property is awesome with wicked retro decor. We loved sitting out on the deck to have a drink it was so peaceful and the big trees at the front of the property are stunning.The bach is very clean & tidy. We felt very comfortable and would definitely recommend this bach to friends and family. It is about a $30-$40 taxi from the ferry and a quick stroll to the local countdown supermarket.
