Absolute waterfront with stunning views
Our holiday house (retro bach) is our pride and joy. We have owned it since building it in the 1970's. The views of the ocean and Harbour are simply breathtaking and can be enjoyed on the large deck and expansive lawn. You can literally throw a stone into the water from the balcony.
It has all the modern appliances. There is one bathroom with a shower, basin and separate toilet. Outdoor furniture, lounges and gas BBQ available for guest use. Additional parking is available on the road at end of driveway. Plenty of space for a tent.
Young children are welcome however due to the gaps in the deck rail we recommend more suitable for children 6 and up.
Small pets are allowed
The ferry jetty is only meters away, where you can take a small ferry ride to Pauanui or up the Harbour. Plenty of parking on the road side near house as well as on the property. Tairua's amazing surf beach is a pleasant 8-10 min walk from the house.
The main township of Tairua is a approx 25 min walk or a 5 min drive where there is a great selection of shops including a small supermarket, post office, doctors surgery, hairdressers, pharmacy, café/restaurants and bars. If you play golf there is also a fantastic golf course close to town. The main bus network comes through the main road in the township.
All beds have fresh sheets, duvet, extra blankets and pillows. Bathroom and face towels are provided, you just need to bring your own beach towels.

Amazing location. Typical 80’s bach but well equipped. Would have been good to access things for the kids such as boogie boards, and also board games.

Magical getaway
The house looked better than the photos! Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything and more that was needed. The deck was massive and the view was majestic! Heaps of parking as it is at the end of a dead end street. It's quite private also as neighbours are at a distance. Went fishing right in front of the house, bait shop at the end of the rd (1min drive). Created some amazing memories with my family. Had a slight concern that was addressed straight away by the property manager without fuss. 10/10, we hope to stay again in the future. Feeling very grateful, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Fabulous spot to watch the world go by
Great retro home with views to die for, comfy queen bed, large comfy sofas, decent size TV & good shower pressure, all must haves on our list, but above all the most incredible views across Tairua & Pauanui with boats & jetskis to watch come & go. The old Mill House cafe is afew mins walk & fabulous, & the beachfront half hour stroll to town is great. Highly recommended!
