We're absolutely delighted to share our beloved family retreat with you. Bach by the Beach is our special place — a haven of peace, sand, and sunshine — and we only make it available for a limited time each year (just one month!), so you’re part of a very lucky few.
This home means a lot to our whānau, and we ask that you treat it with the same love and care we do. By respecting the space, our neighbours, and the stunning local environment, you help us keep it magical for future guests and our family for years to come.
Thank you for your kindness, mindfulness, and for being part of what makes Bach by the Beach so special. We truly appreciate it. 💛
