Piha, Auckland
In a prime spot over the road from Piha's dramatic surf beach, at the quieter north end, our beach-house started life 30 years ago, with architect brief: 'simple kiwi bach'.
We've improved and expanded it over the years, with our family, into a roomy, comfortable home-away-from-home, with large sunny decks and wonderful indoor/outdoor living, most mod-cons, yet still retaining some of the 'bachy' feel that we wanted.
We love our special place and our guests seem to agree, many coming back year after year.
Don't expect 5-star luxury, but instead enjoy a comfortable, clean & functional home with just about everything you want and need, including our recently renovated kitchen, new heat pump, fibre internet and smart TV.
We have a separate spacious sunny Studio (with en-suite bathroom) outside above the garage, ideal for a separate living/play area for older or younger family members. Or could be used, as I have done, as an office during lock-downs !
Our decks all around mean you can relax in the perfect sunny (or shady) spot, chill in the hammock, or spot tuis & kererus.
Our quiet North Piha location is worlds away from the south Piha summer crowds, sheltered by our pohutukawas from the west coast winds, spray and roar of the surf. We have some limited surf views downstairs, but prime spot is upstairs in the master bedroom, even from your pillow.
Enjoy the surf & beach straight across the road, year round bush walks, and hunkering down with wine, games and books around the fire in winter!
Easy access (2-3 mins walk) to North Piha Surf Club patrolled area for safe swimming.
Wonderful bush and spectacular cliff-top walks are close by - either into the bush up the Marawhara stream, or winding up Whites Track to the top of the cliffs above the house, and back down past Whites Beach.
Meals available locally at the Piha Cafe (check times), and dinners some evenings either at the Piha RSA, Piha Surf Club (South Piha) or Piha Bowling Club.
Special conditions:
NO PARTIES, WEDDINGS or other social gatherings please.
Extras: Cleaning (Required)
NOTE: As per kiwi Book-a-Bach tradition we assume that you will be bringing your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels); let us know if that will be a problem and we can probably accommodate you.
We loved Andrew’s house at Piha. It was modern yet homely, well appointed and perfectly located at North Piha for beach walking & surfing.
We had 4 x adults stay and were very comfortable. We had our own space, and everything was easy and relaxing.
Apologies for delay in review, the email went directly into my spam folder. We have stayed at this beach house several times and we love it. It is exactly as advertised, a lovely family friendly comfortable house where a group of friends can get together and relax. Everything we need is there including the fire in winter.
We loved our stay at this great holiday home with lots of nice touches to make us feel welcome. The separate studio is a bonus and the wood burner was perfect for wintry nights. Highly recommended.
Perfect location across the road from the beach Plenty of space for everyone to have there own space Well equipped for everything you need on a holiday
This VRBO had everything you could need. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking implements, utensils, etc. The location was wonderful, just a short walk to the beach.
Close to the beach but far away enough from what would be busy at the peak of summer. Home is decorated nicely and has all the amenities you need
Loved our stay! The place is very cosy & feels like a well-loved family home. It was perfect for our group & close to the beach. Thank-you for having us
We loved everything about this interesting very clean and well appointed property. Communication and check in was great. The beds are very comfortable and the living area and decks are lovely for relaxing. Spectacular beach and walks nearby. We would love to return and explore more. Many thanks!
Owner available to answer questions and was happy to give a late check out Would rent again
Loved staying here, it had everything we needed, well equipped kitchen, and a coffee machine! Loved how close it was to the beach, and being able to see and hear the waves from the house was magic. Would love to come again.
Really enjoyed our short stay at this property, it has everything a family needs, thank you.
