We have owned it since building it in the 1970's. The quintessential 70's bach. The views of the ocean and Harbour are simply breathtaking and can be enjoyed on the large deck and expansive lawn. You can literally throw a stone into the water from the balcony. It has all the modern appliances. There is one bathroom with a shower, basin and separate toilet. Outdoor furniture, gas BBQ available for guest use. Additional parking is available on the road at end of driveway. Plenty of space for a tent. Young children are welcome however due to the gaps in the decking railing we recommend more suitable for children 6 and up. Small pets are allowed. The ferry jetty is only meters away, where you can take a small ferry ride to Pauanui or up the Harbour. Plenty of parking on the road side near house as well as on the property. Tairua's amazing surf beach is a pleasant 8-10 min walk from the house. The main township of Tairua is a approx 25 min walk or a 5 min drive where there is a great selection of shops including a small supermarket, post office, doctors surgery, hairdressers, pharmacy, café/restaurants and bars. If you play golf there is a fantastic golf course close to town. The main bus network comes through the main road in the township. All beds have fresh sheets, duvet, extra blankets and pillows. Bathroom towels and face towels provided. WE HIRE A PROFESSIONAL CLEANER WHO ADHERE TO RIGOROUS CLEAING PROTOCOLS Special conditions: The garage, cabin and caravan are not available.
