Welcome to our unique hexagon-shaped bach in the heart of Mahia! Originally built for the America’s Cup Village, this spacious three-bedroom retreat is less than 300m from the beach, boat launch, pub, and sports courts. Relax on the deck with rural views, stay warm by the wood fire, and enjoy books, DVDs, puzzles, and games. Buckets, spades, and sports gear are provided, plus plenty of parking for your boat. Perfect for families, friends, or couples—your unforgettable Mahia escape awaits!
Hi, we’re a friendly family of five – mum, dad, our two girls and Mia the french bulldog. We love everything Mahia has to offer, from fishing and surfing to bush walks and swimming at the beach. You’ll often find us enjoying the local tennis courts, exploring on the water with our boat, or shopping for bargains during market days. We love the laid-back vibe of this beautiful area. We can’t wait to welcome you to our bach and share a little slice of paradise with you!
Mahia, nestled in the heart of Hawke's Bay, is a hidden gem that offers something for everyone. With its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and scenic walks, it’s the perfect place to unwind and connect with nature. Whether you’re into surfing, fishing, boating, or simply soaking up the sunshine, Mahia has it all. The local markets showcase the best of the region’s produce and arts, while the nearby bush walks and coastal tracks are perfect for those looking to explore the outdoors. It's a place where you can relax, have fun, and make lasting memories.
