Kairakau House | Wonderful hideaway! Absolute beach front bliss!

3 Bedroom House in Kairakau

CREATE LIFE-LONG MEMORIES The iconic holiday at the beach - togs, towel, family and friends, games on the beach and sand angels and sandcastles, balmy evenings, laughter, conversations and good food . . .
This private, beach front family bach offers all this with the beach on the doorstep, and spacious indoor and outdoor areas to relax and enjoy. The "ranch slider" glass doors open to the front and side deck which gets the morning/early afternoon sun and the brick courtyard at the back gets that late afternoon/evening light: BBQ around the stone circle. And the outdoor bath in twilight/moonlight - under the olive tree, gazing out at Fairy Bay - bliss!
Large, comfy sitting room - chairs, divans, bean bags and cushions. Lots of board games, books, radio and CD player, fridge and freezer.
The sea is safe for swimming, okay for fishing (possible to launch a boat), and the reef immediately in front of the bach provides hours of exploring both in rock pools and with mask and snorkel at low tide. The wide, long sandy beach is great for walking and playing games.
And in winter, enjoy that Hawke's Bay clear, crisp weather with crunchy nights snuggled by the fire, and beach-combing and playing under the blue skies by day. And in those raging storms, play board and card games and read books by the fire, adventuring out into the wild once a day, gumbooted and dressed like yetis ... and then the hot bath with a book!
3 COMFORTABLE BEDROOMS (front bedroom double bed, bunk room with bunks and single bed, and back bedroom with a single and a small double bed), and a divan in the sitting room.
The kitchen is simple but has a good old oven and range of pots and pans - everything you need to turn out a first class meal! The nearest town is Waipawa, a 40 minute drive, so stock up on food and have enough petrol for a return trip!

Summary: We felt very privileged to spend time at this special beach in this special family bach. It catered to all our needs, providing simplicity, peace and ease. We loved our stay; the many birds, the sunrises, moonlight on water, beach walks from end to end, exploring rock pools, reading with a cuppa in the sunshine, playing board games by the fire.

Summary: Real old style bach feel which I loved. Enjoyed watching the birds flying past in their quest for berries and figs. Well equipped. Did not want for anything. Great beach for swimming and exploring rock pools. Only suggestion would be a better vacuum cleaner at some stage as the the ine there does not have great sucking power

Summary: This is a classic old school bach. The kids loved working out what animals the bone collection belonged to (with some being unexpected), chilling on the bean bag stack, finding sticks for the dog stick library on the beach, checking the rock pools, and watching the sun set. I loved the privacy. We visited 10 years ago and were very happy to come back, though we miss the double hammock!
