Hahei beach |
If
you visit New Zealand and want the quintessential Kiwi beach experience, you
could do worse than renting a bach (said – batch - that's what we call summer
houses) in Hahei on the Coromandel
Peninsula. There is a little bit of
motel type accommodation there but, in my mind, a bach is the way to go.

Basic bach |

Fancy bach |
Baches
range from the basic to the luxurious – and are priced accordingly. I am not in the business so can't give you
advice about how to find one but there are several NZ sites that specialise in
bach rentals.

Dolphins at Hahei beach |
Hahei
is a lovely ocean beach – it has a surf club which patrols the beach during the
summer. When there, we have seen
dolphins gambolling just offshore.
|
Hahei store |
There
are only a couple of cafes and one restaurant – so unless you range further
afield you will need to self cater – buying your things from the one general
store there. Hahei is very close to
Cathedral Cove – which is one of the prettiest spots anywhere.
Would love to vacation there!
ReplyDeleteNiceeee! I would love to go there someday (:
ReplyDeleteWe have stayed in a couple of Bach's at different times when visiting our Daughter, I just love the @Living on the Beach@ feel, last year we had one with an outside Pizza oven as well as the BBQ....Lovely
