Slow & Relaxing Days at the cutest old school bach- family & pet-friendly

Stay at the cutest old school bach. A little beachside community in Central Hawkes Bay. Kairakau Beach, 40 minutes from Havelock North, thirty-five minutes to local shops and twenty minutes to the country pub. With no Wifi (yes cell reception) the kids will love getting into all the board games, listening to all the native birds in the trees around the bach, endless time at the beach (3 min walk through a private bushwalk) and a million swing rides. Guaranteed wholesome family time (and pet friendly). Boogy boards, surfboards and kayak also available (plus kids wetsuits).

3 bedrooms in the house (queen bed, double bed & single room with bunk beds and a pull-out trundler bed). There is also a bunk room (4 beds) off the garage with an extra toilet. Outside solar shower to enjoy after a cool dip, At low tide there is a walk to a waterfall and at high tide you can play in the nearby river. The community tennis court, estuary, and safe streets make it perfect for full family relaxation.

Perfect weekend
We had a fantastic weekend. Communication beforehand was very good and everthing was as described. The kids loved the beach and the tennis courts. No Tv or internet required! Unfortunately, the sun disappears after the hill early afternoon at this time of the year, so we didn't sit outside a lot. Otherwise, we had a perfect stay.

Close to beach, traditional Bach. Nice community around
It is actually barely two minutes walk to the beach, with steps down onto sand at that point. Our 18 month old granddaughter was able to walk there unaided. Be aware that it IS as described, a rustic traditional Bach. Lovely sitting on deck and seeing and hearing Tui and a wood pigeon just around us in the trees at edge of yard. (And a friendly magpie)

Fantastic family holiday spot
We stayed during the summer holidays with our three boys and dog - what a fantastic spot! The kids really loved hanging out in the garden and on the swing. Great proximity to the beach and a great space to relax and enjoy the sun. Definitely recommend to other families and pet owners.

Great location
Great location, just a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Lovely outdoor deck area and fire pit. Well appointed kitchen. Outdoor shower. Lots of extras in the garage available to use like boogie boards and wetsuits, tennis racquets. Only has a 45 litre hot water cylinder, which equates to less than 7 minutes of hot water before running out which didn’t work for a family of five, so not sure it would be suitable for large groups.
