Step Into a 1970s time warp!
Deadline sale closing 1pm, Wed 28 Oct 2026 (unless sold prior)
If you've ever wished you could rewind the clock and live the laid back Kiwi bach lifestyle of the 1970s… this is your moment. Set on a large 829sqm (more or less) section with sea views and wrapped in the warmth of a friendly coastal community, this original one bedroom bach is pure nostalgia, orange décor, timber tones, quirky charm and all.
Inside, you'll find one bedroom with three built in bunks, a cosy living area anchored by a pot belly fire, and that unmistakable retro colour palette that screams summer holidays, sandy feet, and fish 'n' chips on the deck. There's no mains power, just solar for lights, adding to the off grid simplicity that makes this place feel like a true escape. Practicality is covered too, with mains water, a septic tank, and an undated roof giving you peace of mind.
Step outside and the magic continues: an outdoor bath nestled in the private garden, heated by a fire underneath for the ultimate rustic soak, plus a caravan included for extra guests, kids, or overflow summer sleepovers.
Simple coastal living here looks like fishing off the beach, launching the boat for a day on the water, and making memories that feel timeless, slow mornings, barefoot walks, salty air drifting through open windows, and days shaped more by tides and sunshine than by schedules.
Keep it exactly as it is and live your full 1970s fantasy, or roll up your sleeves and bring it into the 2020s. With a generous section and endless possibilities, you choose the era.
An authentic slice of Kiwiana with potential plus. Deadline Sale - no warranties.
