Our bach is a lovely 1920s cottage with French doors, large deck and 3 bedrooms. Separate lounge, combined kitchen/dining with french doors onto the deck. We have just undergone a significant renovation and updated the kitchen (including a dishwasher), modernised the bathroom, as well as new flooring in kitchen, dining, laundry and bathrooms and a full repaint throughout. We have big comfy modern sofas to sink into and new beds, and enough vintage bits to keep it all cute and eclectic. We also have a collection of NZ art on display. Arrive, park your car and walk everywhere...we are a minute from the village shops, movies, library, banks, cafe's and a short walk to the beach and playgrounds. We are kid friendly and have a good selection of toys, books and dvds. There are two playgrounds nearby as well as a huge grass reserve with trees and also a public paddling pool by the beach which is very popular with all kids. We are fully fenced. Brand new gas fire and infinity hot water keeps everyone toasty and comfortable.... Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$60.00 per stay); Linen (Required, NZ$10.00 per person); ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Parking and transportation - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Fully-fenced - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a village - On a lake ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, sun loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71730000/71724600/71724538/7bcc787e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Bach on Dorset 🌊 Opunake - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 34 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-13&endDate=2025-12-14&selected=71724538&PinnedHotelID=71724538&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fitness facility](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63120000/63111600/63111509/8f2459a1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### With the lake on your doorstep, BEACH 2 minutes away and river swimming hole .
