Bach11 at beautiful Onaero Bay, so close to New Plymouth ...

Onaero Bay is just a short 25 minutes north of New Plymouth on State Highway 3. Close enough to have a relaxing weekend away and feel like you've come back totally relaxed and renewed.

Our kiwi bach is on the Onaero Domain and borders the estuary of the Onaero River which is not only safe for swimming but has its own private boat jetty to launch the kayaks as well as a whitebait net (in season). We have two kayaks which you are welcome to use (please use the lifejackets supplied).
The bach is comfortable and roomy enough for a family or just a couple wanting time out. The area is very sheltered but for the cooler days there is a wood fire.
There is a master bedroom with a queen bed plus a bunk room which has a double bed, a set of bunks with a double on the bottom and a single on the top and a sofa bed. There is also a rollaway bed, a portacot and a highchair. The fee is for the first two people and any others are an extra $40/night per person.
Almost everything is supplied, including linen (if you use ours) and basic pantry items. There is one spare toilet roll. Just bring what you need for your stay. Enjoy!

The Onaero Beach is a very safe beach and close by; perfect for swimming, surfing and fishing.
There is a boat ramp five minutes drive away and also close by you will find a nice cafe and shopping available at Urenui Superette along with a tavern and fuel requirements. Urenui also has a 9-hole golf course.

New Plymouth boasts many fine attractions including beautiful Pukekura Park, the Bowl of Brooklands where many famous artists have entertained, the Coastal Walkway and Wind Wand, along with Govett Brewster Art Gallery and Pukeariki Museum. Mt Taranaki/Egmont is also not far away for those wanting to explore the bush walks.

Beautiful spot. arrival marred by having to clean and wash all dishes which had been put away dirty. Ant problem in bathroom and spider webs throughout, resulting in a nasty bite to leg of a guest which meant a trip to Waitara for medical advice. Layout of batch was great with pretty views.

Overall very comfortable
The owners are friendly and quick to respond. The house is cosy, and our whole family enjoyed our stay. We really liked the comforts of home, including the TV, and also really appreciated using the kayaks and fishing rods. My sons were fishing most of the time! Just a couple of little things we have for suggestion: the beds were not made, however, we had access to linen to make them up ourselves. It was useful having the washing machine and dryer, however maybe the dryer needs to be moved outside, or a vent put in so it doesn't make the house feel damp. Overall, I recommend this bach - great spot!

Lovely bach which is in the most beautiful setting, on a domain with other wee baches, set right back from the road so it's utterly peaceful and relaxing. The beds were super cosy and there was an enormous range of bedding to make ourselves at home with. The sofas were incredibly comfy, and the kitchen was super-well equipped.

Clean, neat, fresh and well thought-out. Comfortable & pleasant allowing a relaxing and stress-free experience. We inadvertantly left a large glass fluted bowl with fitted plastic lid, which I am keen to have returned. I am willing to pay the postage. Please advise. Cheers, Kathie

This is my 3rd time renting this property with my friend for a break and we always go home refreshed. The beds are very comfortable... the place is clean and pleasant with plenty of room and there's good cooking equipment in the kitchen. Also the deck is great for meals and relaxing. A great Bach.

Whānau Time Visiting Urenui
IF your looking for a comfortable “summer batch” feeling to your stay then you will definitely get this from the house. The large private deck @ the back has beautiful Aotearoa bush & water views. The singing birds, ducks & splashing fish make it that extra bit welcoming. The handy BBQ & Outdoor Furniture while the kids kayaked became a daily brunch ritual. There is plenty of parking, seating & sleeping space the beds were cosy and everything in the house functioned as it should. We had local Urenui family over for dinner and there was plenty of cutlery & plates to cater without having to race out and buy plastic. The place was easy to keep clean & tidy - We appreciated the simplicity it gave us the opportunity to relax and enjoy our holiday. The neighbouring homes in the park area were friendly and quiet. Will definitely visit again - I have a mokopuna on the way so am grateful to have had somewhere lovely to spend time with them in Urenui. Thank You Kereama, Joy & Tawhara

A wonderful property - clean, well equipped and suits all occasions and weather. The only downside is the rowdy traffic, especially large trucks, climbing up the hills. I fully recommend this property and the managers are amazing.
