The Summer Bach at Cooks Beach

About this property

Just 100 metres from the beachfront at Cooks Beach, The Summer Bach is a welcoming holiday home and the perfect base for a relaxed coastal escape. Comforting, spacious, and designed with easy indoor–outdoor living in mind, it captures the essence of a classic Kiwi getaway.

Spread across two levels, the home offers laid-back open-plan living and four bedrooms sleeping up to eight guests. Upstairs, the main living spaces flow effortlessly onto the balcony, where you can fire up the BBQ, let the sausages sizzle, and enjoy a glass of wine as the sea breeze rolls in. The open-plan area includes a well-equipped kitchen, dining space, and comfortable lounge, while two bedrooms on this level provide sleeping for up to four guests.

With plenty of room to spread out, The Summer Bach is ideal for families or small groups looking to unwind and embrace coastal living. Downstairs, you’ll find a cosy breakfast nook, second lounge, two additional bedrooms, one bathroom, and a rumpus room, offering flexible space for guests to relax or retreat.

Laundry facilities add extra convenience for longer stays, while off-street parking ensures a hassle-free arrival. There is ample space to park a boat, along with a dedicated fish filleting station—perfect for those planning boating or fishing adventures during their stay.

Stroll down to the nearby estuary shoreline or boat ramp and soak up the natural beauty of the area. Local eateries are just a three-minute drive away, and Purangi Reserve is a short stroll (around a seven-minute walk), ideal for picnics and outdoor adventures.

From here, you’re perfectly positioned to explore the wider Coromandel Peninsula. Discover the beauty of Hahei, visit iconic Cathedral Cove, or enjoy the cafés, shops, and activities of nearby Whitianga, all just a short drive away.

Whether your plans include beach days, boating adventures, or simply slowing down and enjoying time together, The Summer Bach offers a humble yet inviting retreat filled with comfort, convenience, and classic coastal charm.

Discover Whitianga – the largest town on the Coromandel Peninsula, just 2 hours and 45 minutes from Auckland. This vibrant coastal hub blends relaxed seaside charm with a wide range of activities and city-style amenities. Enjoy top-tier fishing charters, unwind at the luxurious Lost Spring Spa, or explore the sparkling waters of Mercury Bay by kayak, scenic flight, or boat tour. The local dining scene is a treat, especially for seafood lovers, and forest walks offer a tranquil escape just minutes from town. Whitianga is also the perfect base for visiting Coromandel icons like Cathedral Cove, Hahei, and Hot Water Beach. Watch for dolphins by the wharf or hop on the ferry to Cooks Beach for a laid-back afternoon.
