About this property

Magical West Coast Retreat

  • A truly magical setting in the heart of Bethells Beach township just a stones throw from the surf club on the edge of the Waitakere Ranges.

    Stroll from the surf club along the beach and take in the wonder of the wild west coast, the scenery is spectacular!
    Your accomodation provides the gateway to any number of incredible bush and beach walks or simply stay home and soak up the ambience of your bach with its landscaped garden and native flora.

    If you've got kids then they're going to love boogie boarding down the awesome sand dunes on the edge of Lake Wainamu, there is plenty of safe swimming there too. For the more adventurous take a walk around the lake then cool off in the waterfalls.

    There's also rock fishing and the well known O' Neils surf beach within walking distance and a 10 minute drive will take you to the Waitakere golf club with its amazing bush backdrop.

    Through the winter, take one of the many local walks and return home to hot chocolate and a warm fire. Or alternatively, head to Henderson (20 mins drive) where you will find wave pools, movies, shopping, Crystal Mountain (theme park for kids) and other activities.

    During the summer months sample some renowned West Coast food and drink at the Bethells Cafe.
    Special conditions:
    Please note that cellphone coverage is not great at Bethells.
    We do not have a television but plenty of board games:)
