Description

Whangamatā Family Retreat

Located just a short stroll from the beach, this relaxed four-bedroom family bach offers an inviting blend of comfort, convenience, and easy coastal living. Designed for families, groups, or friends traveling together, the home features two living areas, two bathrooms, and generous indoor–outdoor flow, creating effortless spaces to gather or unwind. Its prime position between the estuary and town means guests are perfectly situated to enjoy everything Whangamatā is known for, from surfing and paddleboarding to cafés, markets, and local walks.

Inside, the home feels bright, breezy, and thoughtfully appointed for modern holiday living. The main living spaces open directly to a massive new deck, extending the social areas outdoors and creating a seamless connection between lounging, dining, and fresh ocean air. Brand-new beds, couches, TVs, and a spacious dining table ensure every guest has a comfortable place to relax after days in the sun. With two distinct living areas, families have the flexibility to spread out, ideal for mixed-age groups or multi-family stays.

The four bedrooms are light, airy, and designed with versatility in mind. Children will love the bunk room, while adults can choose from doubles, queens, or a king bedroom depending on the arrangement. Two full bathrooms accommodate larger groups with ease, and the bach provides all the essentials needed for a carefree beach holiday. Whether returning from an early-morning surf or settling in after a day on the estuary, the home offers a warm, comfortable atmosphere that encourages rest and connection.

Stepping outside, the expansive deck becomes the heart of the home, perfect for barbecues, morning coffees, or afternoon drinks. With the beach only a three-minute walk away and the surf club just five minutes, days naturally fall into an easy rhythm of sand, sun, and simple pleasures. Positioned near both the estuary and town, guests can move effortlessly between swimming, boating, shopping, dining, or exploring local trails.

Welcoming, spacious, and perfectly located, this Whangamatā bach offers everything needed for a classic Kiwi beach escape. Whether planning a family getaway or a relaxed holiday with friends, the property provides an ideal base for making memories in one of New Zealand’s most beloved coastal towns.
