Debbie 
“Fantastic house and location straight across the road from the beach and estuary, walking distance to café and shops.”
The house was clean, tidy and well equipped. Its perfectly set up for multiple families, given the sleep out and utility. We spent the weekend paddle boarding in the Estury and enjoying walks along the beach and the food at the local cafe. It’s opens on Friday evening for dinner and drinks and we loved the warm welcoming neighbourly vibe. We will definitely come back!

jodine “Although we enjoyed our stay, Upon arrival we were taken aback to find that the property was in a run-down condition and did not match the expectations set by the photos we were shown during the booking process.”
The discrepancies between the photos and the actual state of the accommodation were quite significant, and it greatly impacted our overall experience. We were looking forward to a comfortable and well-maintained stay, but unfortunately, that was not the case.the couch’s and couch covers were covered in stains window cushions and bean bags covers in stains, sleep out has stain on carpets ripped chairs and rusted bunks all windows were dirty everything just looked run down and none of that was advertised in your photos at time of bookings
- jodine, February 2024We appreciate you taking the time to provide us insight into what was disappointing with your stay. We are happy to let you know we have new photos booked as there have been a few updates to the property since your stay. We hope to host you again in the future. We are sorry that on this occasion the cleanliness of the property was not to our usual high standard. We will organise a deep clean to be done at the property to ensure more in-depth cleaning is completed to ensure this does not happen again. Bachcare
Tania “Great location to the beach and shops.”
Plenty of kitchen equipment. All the comforts of home. Caters to 2 families easily as well as the family dog. Possibly just needed a little bit more of a spring clean before paying clients came in but otherwise I'd happily recommend.
- Tania, January 2024Lute “Good stay could’ve been better, but it did work for us.”
Grass wasn’t cut trampoline was quite old and dusty. sleep out could do with some air refreshing as it didn’t smell to nice.
- Lute, November 2023Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback as we are always working on improving the care of our properties Bachcare

Highly encourage and recommend Bachcare.
- Tunisia, November 2022Serena “Great property with everything we needed for a short stay.”
Very close to everything beach, dairy - amenities in the house are great with extra space to relax inside and out.
- Serena, November 2022Katie “Cute, tidy little house in good location near beach.”
Loved that it allowed our dog to be inside with us. Overall house was very clean. Kids loved the trampoline, wild rabbits and chickens that wandered around and we even spotted orca off the coast! Didn't use the sleepout at all, but would be fantastic for two separate families or a larger family with older children.
- Katie, June 2022Stacey “Great location and facilities, close to amenities and beach.”
A classic NZ bach experience, will be booking again :)
- Stacey, April 2022Chloe “Great cozy place for friends & family, all the amenities you need and great location to explore the nearby attractions.”
Walking distance to beach! Really recommend checking the Waipu Caves, that was the highlight of our stay!
- Chloe, April 2022Ernst “Nice spot, close to cafe and beaches.”
- Ernst, March 2022Bruce “House was in an awesome location.”
Close to Beach and cafe. Big section plenty of parking. Overall a little tired, but it is a bach so all good really. Just let down by poor cleaning.
- Bruce, February 2022Lance “Wonderfully kept house just off the beach!”
Would recommend for all, incredibly clean, and has everything you need catered for. We will definitely be staying again!
- Lance, January 2022ileeya “We stayed here in January 2022 myself and my family.”
Overall house was good, clean and tidy. Home did have a musky smell and needed to be aired out or having a home fragrance in. Which they had but it was empty. Also fly dispenser was empty as well. But we purchase one during our stay. The house is in a great location near Ruakaka Beach 3min walk. Bouns having a outdoor shower after our swim. Home is good for family or group. It was cool to see rabbits roaming around on property.
- ileeya, January 2022John “Great Bach!”
- John, January 2022Natalie “A lovely bach, perfect for a family holiday.”
Close to a beautiful beach and some amazing day trips.
- Natalie, January 2022Joanne “This property is a 2 minute walk to the beach, cafe and surf club.”
A lovley quiet street with the sound of the sea in the distance. An easy and clean property to rent. Loved seeing the chickens and rabbits running around. Hightly recommend.

The property
Blue skies, sunshine, and the ultimate summertime getaway location awaits - Only a 2 minute walk to the beach, Cafe and Surf Club - Welcome to Bream Bay Sands! With a charming, comfortable and coastal atmosphere, this two-bedroom holiday home with a sleep-out is just waiting to host a family looking to ditch the work attire, get the sunnies and jandals on, and soak up some Kiwi sunshine. With great indoor-outdoor flow, there is enough space for everyone to kick back and stretch their legs. Hang out on the sundeck around the outdoor dining table under the sun-shade, or lounge out on a bean bag with a good book. The externally accessed sleep-out is ideal for the younger members of your group, with plenty of extra space and sleeping up to 4 guests. Whip up a few tasty holiday meals in the fully equipped kitchen, where a Nespresso machine also waits to ensure you start the day off right. The all-important BBQ is also outside, ready to grill up a classic summer feast! This place certainly comes alive in summer, but a mid-winter stay is well-catered for as well. With heating options, WiFi, and a TV with Freeview, you and the family will be looked after during those indoor days or cosy nights in. Be sure to bring the boat, there's plenty of parking space here, and the boat ramp only 4kms away. You'll love being able to get out on the water and bring home your fresh catch. Being less than a three-minute walk from the beach, you can spend your days heading to and from the white sandy shore for a swim or some beach cricket. With the Kiwi sanctuary just up the road, Waipu Cove and Piroa Falls nearby, and the Hen and Chicken Islands just a day trip on the boat away, there's no shortage of breathtaking scenic spots to visit. For your next beach getaway, Bream Bay Sands awaits!
