Quintessential Kiwi Beach Bach

Our classic Kiwi Bach sits on the ever-changing Pātaua inlet. Relax on the deck and watch the tide wane in and out while the kids play on the beach. For more excitement, paddle, swim, kayak or simply walk around and over the footbridge (perhaps do some "bombs" off it on the way) to the surf on the North side. Navigate the vast inlet and mangroves in our kayaks and float home on the incoming tide. In Winter, get cosy by the fire or simply pop on the heat pumps. Furbabies are welcome too.
