About this property

Kiwi Bach by the Beach

  • If beach holiday fits your lifestyle then this is the place for you. A comfortable but classic Kiwi bach for your family or friends to enjoy New Zealand’s special wild coastal charm. You can be active diving for paua or crayfish, or relax on the beach while you wait for a fish to hook up. The Mataikona coast is full of opportunities for those who simply enjoy walking and fossicking. Suitable for all year round, you can sit in the sun and watch the hypnotic surf from the deck with a nice, refreshing drink or stay inside playing darts and keeping warm by the woodburner. Head down the road to the golf course, or visit the spectacular cliffs and views at Castlepoint.

    Special conditions:

    Smoking allowed outside only.

    Please note the bach is on tank water so conserving water is appreciated.

    Coastal conditions to be aware of:

    In strong onshore winds, sand can drift onto the access road at Sandy Bay. The road is usually cleared promptly, but short delays are possible.
    Power cuts can occur from time to time in severe weather. Our water runs on an electric pump, so taps won’t run during an outage.

    We provide a BBQ for cooking, torches and candles and the wood burner for heating.

    If you’re arriving during a strong wind forecast, consider travelling in daylight and checking local updates.
