We have built this property to be a humble laid back getaway for family, couples, friends or working remotely. It's lovely to relax, listening, smelling & seeing the sea. This tiny house is surrounded by an expansive deck. Minimizing indoor cleaning time in the 24sqm house and maximizing outdoor time in the breeze on the 64sqm deck. Milder seasons of spring, summer and autumn can be enjoyed outdoors as a level footstep away, with the combined footprint of 88sqm. Making it a fair few steps closer to many stunning beaches nearby. The closest of which is only 1.2kms down the road. Which you can see from the front deck, queen bedroom & living area. For harbour/ocean views, they can be seen from the back deck, queen bedroom, living area and through bespoke windows built into the bunk room. The bunk room has usb ports and phone holders at the foot of the beds for convenience. For check-in & check-out there is now a doorbell camera & outdoor camera, near the door and lockbox to help assist guests to quickly and easily contact us, even if they are out of texts, calling minutes or messaging data. The appliances are all compact to seamlessly fit into the Bach. To assist, guests are welcome to bring their own barbecue and chilly bin to cook on the lawn. There are pots, pans, plates, utensils and cups in the kitchen cupboards... folding dining table, trestle table, dining and deck chairs guests are welcome to use. This is a self catering site so please plan to either eat out or bring some small longlife groceries with you. WIFI and whiteware for laundry have been newly added in April 2025. The decor is minimalistic and modern in grey, black and white, with a small amount of beach themed furnishings. Speaking of the beach... we love making new memories here and hope you will book and come to make some too.
We love holidays, travelling and love hosting guests so that they can enjoy holidays too! When travelling, we view the holiday as starting from the moment we leave the house. The journey as part of it. With this in mind, our check-in time is 4pm, which usually works well for our guests as most have a long journey prior to arrival. Enableing a relaxed timeframe. The beaches here can often be described as the Fiji except kiwi or like being in the islands without the flights. Let the Island time/step back in time begin with the journey taking in the countryside as you go. Use the opportunity, stopping for convenience along the way and making the best of the cafes, restaurants, bakeries or takeaways. Come stay at ours, take some time to step back from the rushing of modern life here. Book now!! :)

Seascape Peninsula Bach

I loved staying here this winter because there's a wonderful simplicity in being somewhere quiet, far from home.  The place was immaculate and had everything I needed for a short stay. I enjoyed seeing butterflies during the day and hearing owls and kiwi at night. I even found kiwi footprints, while walking on the beach... which I had entirely to myself.
