A true beachfront kiwi bach just 2.5 hours north of Auckland City. 2 small bedrooms downstairs and a large private upstairs bedroom (external access) with a California king bed and ensuite bathroom.
No internet but plenty of DVDs, books and games! A stunning location behind the sand dunes of Ripiro Beach (NZ's longest driveable beach) in the small holiday settlement of Glinks Gully. No shops close-by but 20 mins from Dargaville which has plenty.
Sleeps 7 in beds plus we have a pullout sofa-bed and a few mattresses and a portacot. Plenty of outdoor seating on the decks. We have a bike, bodyboards, beach toys and even a 25 metre waterslide! There are swings close-by for the kids and a path to the beach right opposite our house.
A few points to note:
The beach is not patrolled and can be dangerous to swim (we recommend staying waist deep on an incoming tide) and cars regularly drive up and down the beach. It is often wild and wavy being a west coast beach but at times it can be as still as a lake. We often have beautiful sunsets here. This is a basic bach, insects and all! The downstairs bedrooms currently have no doors or powerpoints and the walls don't extend up to the ceiling. We do have extension cords leading in to the bedrooms though. The deck is due to be replaced and does have a few loose planks. We have a fan in each bedroom as it gets hot in summer.
The kitchen has just about everything you would need (oven, fridge and all small appliances including an espresso coffee machine). We have a fairly large hot water cylinder but we recommend conserving water.
Price per night is based on a group of 7. $40 extra per person per night for any extra people. I can offer a discount for couples bookings. Please contact me if you require any further info!
