About the Bach and Whakapirau

The Bach is a classic kiwi holiday home (with 4 separate sleeping areas) and is elevated to catch the sun and awesome views. Bedding consists of 1x Queen and 6x full size Singles (bunks), plus a rollout single and one fold-out futon-style sofa bed (small double), and even a bassinette - sleeping 7 or 8 comfortably, and can sleep up to a maximum of 10.

The Bach has a fully equipped kitchen including 2x Fridges, a big freezer, dishwasher & microwave. There's also TV, DVD, a CD/Tape deck, washing machine & dryer, and heaters. And in true kiwi style holiday home tradition - a big gas BBQ. In the garage you'll find plenty of outdoor fun gear too - CLICK HERE for detail - all included at no extra cost.

Rental rates for the Holiday Bach start at $50 per night, with all holidays on a self-cleaning basis. Rates are seasonal, requiring a minimum stay of 2 nights (Fri & Sat for a weekend) with discounts if you stay for a week and are based on a maximum of 10 occupants. As there is only 1 bathroom & nowhere to pitch a tent we do not accept larger groups.

PETS are also welcome HERE, BY PRIOR ARRANGEMENT.

Whakapirau is easy to find and only 95 minutes drive north of Auckland (from the Harbour Bridge).

Simply follow State Highway One north through Warkworth & Wellsford, and turn left (towards Dargaville) when you get to the bottom of the Brynderwyn hills. As you pass through Maungatoroto, Whakapirau is only 13kms away on the banks of the pretty Arapaoa River, at the top of the Kaipara Harbour.

Whakapirau is an idyllic little hideaway spot that boasts a safe swimming beach, calm waters for kayaking or fishing, a few classic kiwi baches, and not a lot else! No noisy pubs, no traffic, no shopping malls, no phone, fax or email.

A short drive away, Maungatoroto has all your holiday shopping requirements (supermarket, cafes, craft shops, service station, fire and ambulance emergency services, and more), plus it has a couple of golf courses and very friendly locals.

THE AWESOME VIEW FROM THE DECK

Rest assured that the road is very, very quiet. Cars are pretty scarce in Whakapirau.

INSIDE THE BACH

It's a very typical kiwi Bach inside. The colour scheme is mainly yellow with blue highlights, and it offers an eclectic mix of textures and furnishings (i.e. nothing matches anything else) while the differing floor coverings in each room are a unique expression of bygone era's.
