Kiwi Bach Escape - Close To Beach

Our much loved humble Kiwi Bach is a great escape from the busy lives we lead. Set back from the road it is quiet with the exception of the native birdsong in the backyard trees. Without all the city light pollution the night stars are amazing & from the font deck & bedroom you can listen to the sound of the waves from stunning Cooks Beach which is just a short 4 minute walk away.

At the back of the property there is a tidal stream & the back gate gives you access to a pathed walk around the residential lake area. Please be aware that both the stream & the lake are not fenced.
If you prefer a more adventurous local walk our favourites include the walks to Lonely Bay & Shakespeare Cliff Lookout.

Our Bach is also just minutes walk to local restaurants & convenience stores & within a 15 mins drive you can be at either Hot Water or Hahei Beaches & access to the famous Cathedral Cove Walkway.

Alternatively for a spot of retail therapy or a trip to the movies the Ferry across to Whitianga is only a few minutes drive from Cooks Beach.
Also within a short drive are local Tennis Courts, the Purangi Golf Course, the Mercury Bay Winery & the popular Eggsentric & Colenso Cafes.

As the Bach relies on the supply of precious rain water we ask that you please bring your own linen & towels. If you are coming from overseas & this is an issue please let me know.

If you are looking for a place to get away & enjoy nature & some screen free time then we believe our beloved Bach is the perfect choice.

Perfect Kiwi bach
This was a really lovely old school bach, very private down a longish driveway off the road. Short walk to the beach or shops, two nice bedrooms, great deck, good parking. Couldn't have asked for more.

Awesome location
Great little Bach, everything you need. Fantastic location, we ate in both restaurants on different occasions and the food was beautiful! I wouldn’t have been able to easily wash my thick curly hair well with the water pressure in the shower but who gets all fancy when down by the beach?! Was a great easy stay for what we wanted, would recommend 😊

Simple batch in quiet location close to beach
Relaxed simple batch with everything you need in the kitchen and comfortable beds. Very quiet location. Tania is a pleasure to deal with. The property is on tank water. I suspect the whole of Cooks Beach is. The water is clear and lovely to drink but water pressure means you have a dribble of a shower and difficulties getting the temperature right. Easily fixed with an upgrade to the pump system. We would choose this batch again.

Great bach, fantastic host
Our 2 night stay was reduced to one night due to the impending cyclone, however we still managed to have a lovely time in Cook's beach. We appreciated the great contact with host Tania, and her very kind offer of a late check out. Tania also gave us the option to change our dates due to the crazy weather, which she was not obliged to do, but we really appreciated the offer. The bach is cute and cosy and has everything you need for a great holiday. Really looking forward to coming back.

Very tired/untidy but great location
My family and I stayed for three nights and while we loved the location and setting we weren’t blown away by the property. There was dust and crumbs on the kitchen floor, food past it’s use by date in the fridge, half eaten packets of chips and crackers in the drawers and the bbqs were quite old and dirty. The place was generally quite run down with little maintenance being done on it by the looks. The shower was temperamental and we often ended up with a cold shower. There was no wifi even though it is listed as having wifi. I wouldn’t recommend this place when there are many other beautiful spots around cooks beach.
