It’s a family bach — so to speak. Family Bach was created from the idea that holiday homes should feel lived in, loved, and easy to enjoy. We’re not a big management company; just a small local team who care deeply about the spaces we host and the guests who stay in them. Each home is personally looked after, cleaned, and prepared with the same attention we’d give our own family place by the beach. Our story began with Bach by the Beach, a home that captures everything we value — warmth, simplicity, and a sense of belonging. From there, we’ve continued to grow slowly, managing only a handful of homes so every guest experience stays personal and genuine. Staying with Family Bach means you can expect a clean, thoughtfully presented space with coastal charm, reliable communication, and the small touches that make you feel instantly at ease. It’s not just accommodation — it’s a true New Zealand bach experience, made to feel like your own.

Bach by the Beach is a stylish coastal escape just two minutes’ walk from Mount Maunganui’s vibrant cafés, shops, and golden sands. Originally built in 1961 and thoughtfully renovated in 2018, this beautiful home blends mid-century character with modern design. The space features warm Tawa wood floors, soft neutral tones, and open living areas that create a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Guests love the effortless indoor–outdoor flow — perfect for enjoying morning coffee on the deck or evening barbecues under the stars. The large open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with quality appliances, generous bench space, and natural light, making it ideal for both cooking and entertaining. Each room has been carefully styled with comfort in mind, from crisp linen and plush bedding to coastal-inspired artwork and modern lighting. With high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TV, and secure parking, every detail has been designed for an easy and relaxing stay. Bach by the Beach captures the essence of Mount living — simple, elegant, and close to everything that makes the area special.

The property sits in a quiet Mount Maunganui street just minutes from Main Beach and Pilot Bay. Guests love the easy walk to cafés, boutique shops, and the scenic Mount walkway. Hot Pools, Mount Maunganui Golf Club, and Bayfair Shopping Centre are nearby, while Tauranga’s waterfront and marina are a short drive away. Local favourites include artisan markets, surf lessons, and sunset dining overlooking the harbour.
