Relaxing beach bach with sea views

Whangaehu beach, a quiet East coast settlement is renowned for it's natural reef and good fishing, plus plenty of paua and crayfish. Our bach is the perfect place to unmind, away from distractions and to recharge the batteries.
The large section is fully fenced with plenty of room to play cricket or games. The deck extends out from the main living room, providing a good flow and a wonderful sea view. The beach and reserve are 400 metres away - an easy stroll.
There are three bedrooms in the house. Two with double beds and the other has two sets of single bunks. There are two toilets, one shower and a washing machine. There is extra sleeping in the detached bunk room.
The area provides plenty of opportunities for things to do. The beach is safe for swimming, within the bay. A lagoon provides a safe spot for children to play or to kayak in. The reef at low tides is abundant with sea life: great for fossicking or walking along the coastline. Snorkling is possible with kinas, paua and crayfish abundant.

Great get away
This was the second time we had a holiday in Whangaehu. We love the place, it's friendly people and the activities centered around fishing and rock pool activities for the kids.We saw seals on the beach, the house is well set up with the bathroom and toilets. We hope to be back in a couple of years if the house is still available.

Nice getaway
Great little getaway in a nice location with beautiful beach views in a remote area. only downfall was the listing stated air conditioning but was only a small fan in the lounge, and a spa which it didn’t have that we were looking forward to.

Happy times with a little surprise
The bach was a great getaway location for our group. It is well equipped and easy to use and despite horrible rainy and windy weather we were able to have an enjoyable time. Unfortunately on tidying up the beds both doubles had mouse poo and wee under the quilt. We didn’t notice it until after sleeping on it as we used sleeping bags on top of the beds. Other than this nasty surprise we enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful, remote and welcoming. Bach life as it used to be.
We had a great week long stay here. There's everything you need at the house for cooking meals and relaxing and a good sized section for any dogs to run around if they get sick of the beach, which is unlikely! We brought a lot of food (and drinks) for the trip so we didn't need to drive to get anything, but there was plenty of room in the inside fridge/freezer for it all. Host communication was great in the lead up to the trip and being off grid for a while was great, but I was able to get snippets on the deck and down at the beach with Vodafone, which was helpful for checking in with family. A very welcoming community. If you're looking to get away from the busyness of everyday life and do very little for a few days, I highly recommend this Bach. Thanks to all.
