The Kiwi Bach

ENTIRE BACH AND SECTION TO YOURSELF!

Beautiful 1950's bach that has been renovated over the years. Two bedrooms with open plan kitchen, dining and living including a sleepout with bathroom.
Deck catching all day sun with a lawn for the kids to play.

Room for a boat and facilities to clean.

It is just a 1 minute walk to the Marsden Bay beach/ playground and a 10 minute walk to Marden Cove Marina complex.

Perfect for a summer family holiday. As a kid we enjoyed our summers in this kiwi bach.

House

The property is old but good location. Some of the cooking items need replacement, very bad condition. Outside sensor light not working. Individual hot and cold taps in the bathroom need a mixture in this day and age. Bedroom door needs to be changed for privacy. The house does have a number.

Great kiwi Bach

This property is the genuine kiwi Bach, beach one way marina the other way , we used the house and the sleepout which worked perfectly for our group , everything you needed was supplied and having the lockup shed was a bonus. Lots of parking for the boat while still giving us enough outside area to relax. Communication was excellent before and during stay. We will use this Bach again.

Great little cottage

Stayed here for one night when attending a friends birthday party nearby and it was perfect. Beds were comfortable, basic but functional bathroom (except we couldn’t find a plug for the bath). Prompt communication from owner and everything we needed was included. Would stay here again. Highly recommended.

Great traditional Kiwi Batch, perfect for what we needed!

Great location, easy to find with a relaxing view of the beach! Weather was great which made the morning coffee on the deck taste even better-just perfect for what we needed while working at the Refinery. Thank you
