About this property

Jandals Bach - Original Kiwi Bach with fantastic views and short walk to estuary and surf beach.

Please note for New Years bookings you must ENQUIRE first before booking as we have different requirements for this period.

Jandals - an original kiwi bach with location and views that will be the envy of many! This is beach holidaying at its best! This is what is used to be like to stay at the beach....the sound of the waves, the smell of the salt and just stroll to the beach in 30 seconds.

This charming wee house has 3 bedrooms but note that two are downstairs with no internal access. The bedrooms downstairs have a second bathroom attached to them and please be aware that the bedrooms and bathroom are separated by only a curtain and access to the bedroom with the bunk set is through the other bedroom.

Please also note that the kitchen only has a bench top small oven and hob - but BBQing is what summer is all about!

The commanding views from the house are almost unbeatable and you cannot get much closer to the beach - and certainly not at this price! If you want to experience a true Kiwi beach holiday the way we used to in generations past then this is it but don't worry - the house is very clean and tidy so don't let its age put you off!

There is also a double kayak to use as well.

LINEN: Please note that other than pillows, duvets and duvet covers, linen is not included in the tariffs but can be rented for $25 per person, further details are provided in the 'Rooms and beds' section of the listing. If you wish to add linen, please add a note to your booking with what beds you wish to use so they can be made up. We have linen as an optional extra to make a more affordable holiday for those who wish to bring their own.

Great location but property needs some maintainance

We knew this was an old kiwi batch when we booked and this was reflected in the price. There are however a few basics that need some attention. The set up worked well for us with kids down stairs with their own bathroom. Nice view from deck and nice and close to main beach and inner harbour beach. We had some issues with toilets and tap plumbing but was attended to by property manager very quickly, they were very good to deal with. A few other things need some attention by owner including tv (worked periodically) , general taps were old, leaky and need replacing with new mixes, toilet upstairs needs replacing, upstairs shower walls were rotten and imagine leaking inside the walls, some attention to the deck areas, felt soft and possible rotten in some spots , bbq only had 3 of 4 burners working and with no oven we relied heaviliy on this for cooking. Main path is quite steep and uneven, not great for older people. Quite a busy rd with traffic to surf club but imagine this will be limited to peek times. None of the above really effected us from having a great stay...we hit the jackpot with the weather

Great Kiwi bach close to the beach

We had a lovely time enjoying the deck, walking the beach and catching up with friends. The house is big enough for two families.

Great location Great views

Great little place with a lovely outlook close to Surf Beach . Accomodation a little tired but comfortable.. Misleading photos as it looks much bigger than it actually is . Bedroom downstairs is comfy but you have to use the outside stairs to get to it . When it’s raining you need your brolly ! 2 bathrooms were handy Enjoyed our stay .
