About this property

Gunado - a cosy kiwi bach.

The bach is nestled among mature totara trees and is home to many native birds. It has a lovely open garden and an extensive view across the estuary which will fill up during spring high tides. It is only a 30 second walk across the other side of the road to a very safe swimming beach.

There are two kayaks to use and the garden and estuary are interesting safe places for children to play while parents sit and relax on the deck.

The living area is open and cosy with an efficient wood burner to keep the house warm in the winter months. There are two good sized bedrooms that look across the estuary and are both light and well insulated; the larger bedroom has double glazing. A new bathroom has been recently added to the bach and the living room extended.

It is a great place to escape and relax and offers long beach walks where you can observe the many wading birds, collect shellfish or just beach fossick. There are many beautiful natural locations nearby to visit by car including Wharariki beach which is only a 20 minute drive. Whatever you choose to do you will come home feeling better for taking the time to stay here.
Special conditions:
The house is very suitable for couples or a small family. The deck is less than a meter high and has not got railings, therefore would not be suitable for a toddler or baby without supervision.

During the peak summer season a minimum booking for 2 nights is required.

Extras: Cleaning (Optional, NZ$60.00 per stay); Linen (Optional, NZ$20.00 per person);

Lovely Bach
We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay in Jennifer’s well equipped and comfortable cottage. We enjoyed the birdsong and views of the estuary. Close to Farewell spit and Takaka by car. A lovely place to spend a few quiet days .

Look no further. Plan your trip around when this property is available!
The photos don't do it justice. This is a beautiful bach in a great location. We stayed for five nights but could have stayed much longer.

Peaceful spot
We had a lovely and peaceful time, watching the tide go in and out, revisiting Wharariki and Farewell Spit. Plenty of rain but it was still great to be there. The bach and location were exactly as described. (We appreciated the comfortable bed and well-equipped kitchen!)

Great place to telax
This is the third time we have stayed. We find the position very relaxing with lots of bird life and walks along the beach. The size of the Bach is ideal for us and is very well equipped.

About the host

Hosted by JenniferT6

Host profile image
I am a secondary school teacher and live in Nelson with my partner and son when he is not at Uni.

Why they chose this property

I have always loved Golden Bay and have stayed at Totara Avenue for 25 years. I am a keen tramper and lover of nature. This part of Golden Bay particularly appealed because of the birds, totara trees and ease of access to the sea and the mountains. I also have friends who have a Bach in the avenue and find it a very friendly, social place and a great getaway from Nelson.

What makes this property unique

A perfect stepping stone to beautiful and iconic New Zealand attractions such as Wharariki beach and Farewell Spit.
