'Time Out' Beach Front getaway with amazing views

Located in a small, peaceful East Coast beach settlement, our beach front bach is the ultimate place to stay. The house is purpose- built for the view. It is modern and freshly decorated, with lovely macrocarpa flooring and features.
It is ideal for two couples or a large family, or even better for a romantic weekend getaway.
There are three bedrooms, two with sliding doors opening on to the deck that have double beds. The bunk room has 1 set of bunks, with a double at the bottom and single at the top and another single bed.
The well-equipped kitchen will allow you to cook with ease, or fire up the 6 burner bbq. The dining table seats eight and the lounge area caters for all.
There is a Metro, free-standing log-fire to cosy up too on winter nights with plenty of wood supplied to keep it stoked up. The flat screen Freeview TV caters for those who can’t go without it, but there are plenty of books and games to entertain the young and old.
The large bathroom / laundry consists of a shower, toilet and vanity, with a tub, washing machine and dryer.
Spend time on the sheltered 60 sq metre deck with uninterrupted sea views or play cricket on the lawn of the half acre, fully fenced section.
From here it is a quick stroll out a private gate onto the beach reserve. You can choose to swim, kayak and play in the stream -ideal for small children, or head on to the safe swimming beach within the bay. When you have finished, rinse off under the hot outdoor shower.
For the hunters and gatherers, Whangaehu has an abundance of paua and crayfish. The natural reef makes a perfect launching site for boats. It is a well known area for catching terakihi, blue cod and groper for the more adventurous.
At low tide you can walk for miles, exploring the rugged coastline in both directions. There are cliff walks for the more energetic.
Dogs are welcome - they love the space and freedom of the property and beyond.

Our best holiday
Our family got to visit Time Out bach for the 2nd time, and this stay was even better than the first. The bach is so homey, comfortable, kid & dog friendly, and of course has the best sea views! Beach combing amongst the rock pools at low tide was our familys favourite pasttime, but we also took advantage of the swimming, playing in the estuary/stream, hiking the cliffs walk, and playing lots of outdoor games in the huge backyard. We wished we couldve stayed another week!

The best week away
Our family came for an early xmas holiday. There was 5 adults a teen and 1 year old, and all our dog. Everyone had the best time. The house has everything. And the guys cought heaps of crays and paua. The dogs loved it!. (We have never been able to take them on holiday before, so that was awesome). The house is so warm, even with there was a bit of wind and rain. The kayaks were well used. And the veiw is amazing. Thank you so much

Wet and wild
Some seriously wet and windy weather hit the few days we were here but with the fire going we were cosy. We just enjoyed being away from home and watching the weather and the sea. For lots of books read and watched some nostalgic dvds. Despite the weather we still enjoyed the get away and quill consider another visit in the spring or summer.

Perfect spot for Time Out
This was such a perfect spot to get away and just chill. Sitting in the cosy lounge on a winters day by the warm fire, looking out to the waves crashing on the beach made it all the more relaxing. The home felt very homely and was well set out with everything you could need. The only downside was getting to the house, there was a lot of damage along the way to the roads, some parts we were worried if it rained much more would we be able to get out as we didnt have a 4 wheel drive. We understand the recent flooding through region has eroded the roads. I will definietly book this place again.

Lovely property, great location, quiet and peaceful. The dreadful weather and it's impact on the access road meant we had to cut our visit short. Will definitely return when no rain and roads fixed.
