About this property

Beachfront Bland Bay tranquility with stunning sea views from sun-drenched deck

Located at Bland Bay, 1 1/4 hours north of Whangarei on the east coast, this 15 year old well-maintained 2 bedroom family bach / holiday house offers the convenience, beauty and peace of a beachfront location and spectacular views of Bland Bay from the 360 degree deck. Stroll 15 metres to main beach or take a 2 minute walk to Whangaruru Harbour.

Wake up to stunning sunrises from the main bedroom, brew a coffee in the Nespresso machine (BYO pods) and get that caffeine fix while sitting on the east-facing deck in the morning sun and follow the sun around the 360 degree deck all day. Enjoy a BBQ on the west facing deck in the afternoon while taking in the stunning sea views.

It is not unusual to be the only person on the beach and dolphins are often seen (and swum with) in the bay.

Fantastic fishing, swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, diving, windsurfing and kitesurfing in the bay and several beautiful bush walks to choose from.

If you are into surfing, Elliot Bay is great surf beach 10 minutes away, and is quite a swell magnet, often surfable when it is flat at Bland Bay.

Pop up to Russell for a nice meal (40 minutes) or cross the ferry to Paihia for more Bay of Islands' activities.

Please note that the nearest shop is in Oakura (30 minutes away), which really only caters for essentials. For more luxurious treats, you need to go to Russell or Whangarei, so we recommend you take all the supplies you think you will need for your stay (and a little more, just in case), as once there you won't want to have to leave for groceries!
Special conditions:
Pets allowed with prior approval

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Please bring your own linen (towels/sheets (including a top sheet)/pillowcases/tea towels);

Relaxing Holiday in Bland Bay
We had a lovely relaxing stay at Bland Bay. The deck was great for catching the sun or for shade depending on the time of day. Bland Bay is such a beautiful location. We kayaked almost everyday and could not believe how clear the water was, like glass. The bach had everything we needed and the location was great, amazing views and so close to the water.

Beautiful outlook
The house has everything you need, it was clean and tidy. Short walk on to the beach. Make sure you take everything you need, as there is no store nearby. We would stay again.

Beautiful and relaxing week
We had such a lovely week in the Bach. Unpretentious, very clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed. The bay and location right by the beach is spectacular. We’ll definitely want to come back

About the host

Host profile image
Jill and Jim bought the section that the bach is now on back in 1970, and for many years, took their family there to stay in a caravan, where Michael and Denise (the kids!) grew up playing with the neighbours' kids. Michael and Denise's kids have now grown up with the same neighbours' grandchilren, so it is quite a community with many memories. Jill and Jim are now retired and renting the bach out to help pay the bills.

Why they chose this property
