You’ll love our quintessential retro bach because of its private, sheltered outdoor dining area, and close proximity to the beach.
A two minute walk and you're at the waters edge. It's perfect for couples, solo adventurers, smaller families and pets.

The space
Mowhanau (Kai Iwi) beach really is a hidden gem. Beautiful west coast character, magnificent beach walks and great swimming spots. A dog's paradise.
Our bach is a compact cutey (50 sq metres), but with everything you need to wind down and relax.
It's an authentic, kiwi beach house, not high end but sparkling clean and cosy.
The toilet is a quirky outdoor model, but just a step from the bathroom door and all under cover.
Help yourself to our potager garden with any of fresh herbs and vegetables that might be in season. We have a BBQ available (please clean after use) and an awesome outdoor fire, ideal for cooking, taking the chill off in the evenings and toasting marshmallows.

Guest access
We have parking next to the bach, on the front lawn and on the street. You are welcome to bring your four wheel motor bike as the beach access at low tide is great.
Kontiki and surf fishing is very popular (we catch a lot of snapper), with a fish cleaning bench at the front of the section.

Other things to note
There are no supermarkets in the area, so groceries will need to be purchased in Whanganui. The camp ground across the road does supply the basics over summer.
We supply the initial basics, tea, instant coffee, sugar, oil, salt, pepper etc, and have a coffee plunger.
We have full wifi coverage.
Cell phone reception is very patchy. You can normally receive coverage on the front lawn or at the lookout just down the road.
The bach has a shared driveway which the neighbours use for access to the garage and back properties.
Your front lawn runs along side this.
The property is 'fully' fenced between our two properties and small children/dogs can be contained within the courtyard, house area.
DOGS - really only suitable for small or old dogs due to the small courtyard. The larger fenced area may not contain a ‘wanderer’ or ‘high jumper’. Please bring your own dog rugs for the couch or bed. Common sense prevails if the dogs are dirty or wet.
You may notice white ‘floaters’ in the jug. This is due to the high lime content in the Whanganui water supply. Totally harmless, just a nuisance. We often clean the jug out with white vinegar to remove it.
No smoking inside, but there is an outside area - and please dispose of waste at the end of your stay.
