Quintessential Family Bach at Mahanga Beach

This family friendly Bach has been our home away from home for many years and we are now opening up for all to enjoy. Located less than a minute walk to Mahanga beach that offers a stunning, safe beach that goes for miles. Fantastic for swimming, surfing, fishing, diving, boating and romantic beach walks.

Our Bach has 2 bedrooms that sleeps 9 comfortably. With an inviting living room with TV, lots of games and puzzles to keep the kids entertained, stereo and books galore. Dining room with a huge table for family and friends to gather around for family dinners. And a large deck with shade sail and outdoor BBQ area that is the perfect space to unwind with a wine or beer at the end of the day.

Children and pets are welcome. We just ask that the pets not be allowed on couches or beds and please clean up after your animals. Property is fully fenced. Plenty of space for parking cars and boats. 10 minutes from Mahia that has a golf course, cafe, pub and fish and chip shop. 20 minutes to Morere hot springs and bush walks. 1 hour from Gisborne.

Getaway

Quiet location with no pedestrian traffic, beach a stone's throw away. Bach has all you require to have a comfortable stay. As with all tank water houses the water pressure for a shower is not great. Overall it was a great stay with a relaxing atmosphere and would happily stay again. barbecue or cook indoors

Mahanga Gem

As a large family of three generations this bach was ideal for us, as were able to pitch tents to allow separation for our teenagers, and it was well fenced for our dog. The bach was very well appointed, and with a couple of minor additions would be rated as excellent. Communication was great before and after, and we all had a wonderful time in a beautiful part of the world!

Totally brill experience.

Awesome batch with plenty of space and areas to spread out. Bedrooms spacious and everything clean and fresh. Kitchen has everything yould need for simple to flash as cooking. The first day came with rain but then I think our batch payment was excepted and we then instantly had sun and amazing weather 🤩 you won’t be disappointed. Happy holidays everyone.

Awesome Mahia Bach

This is a beautiful bach in a stunning part of the country. Its a few minutes across to Mahia Beach and the feeling is amazing. The bach was well equipped and cosy with more than enough space in a quiet cup-de-sac. The owner was absolutely amazing and so helpful. Highly recommend this home away from home!
