Beachside Kiwi Bach at Glinks Gully - pet friendly!

*Available for New Years with a 5 night minimum stay*

A true beachfront kiwi bach just 2.5 hours north of Auckland city. 2 small bedrooms downstairs and a large private upstairs bedroom (external access) with a California king bed and ensuite bathroom.

No internet but plenty of DVDs, books and games! A stunning location behind the sand dunes of Ripiro Beach (NZ's longest driveable beach) in the small holiday settlement of Glinks Gully. No shops close-by but 20 mins from Dargaville which has plenty.

Sleeps 7 in beds plus we have a pullout couch and a few matresses and a portacot. Plenty of outdoor seating on the decks. We have a bike, bodyboards, beach toys and even a waterslide! There are swings close by for the kids and a path to the beach right opposite our house.

A few points to note:

The beach is not patrolled and can be dangerous to swim (we recommend staying waist deep on an incoming tide) and cars regularly drive up and down the beach. It is often wild and wavy being a west coast beach but at times it can be as still as a lake. We often have beautiful sunsets here. This is a basic bach, insects and all! The downstairs bedrooms currently have no doors or powerpoints and the walls don't extend up to the ceiling. The deck is due to be replaced and does have a few loose planks. Grass has some prickles. We have a few fans as it gets hot in summer.

The kitchen has just about everything you would need including an espresso coffee machine. Showers have plenty of pressure and we have a fairly large hot water cylinder.
