Tyson's Unique & Charming Waterfront Bach

Described as the ideal Writers’ retreat, Tyson’s Bach exudes charm, peace and inspiration. Set just 30m back from the beach, with beautiful views of the bay back to Opua, it is uniquely nestled into its own 3/4 acre of land. Whilst this property retains its character as a quintessential Kiwi Bach, it is immaculately presented inside, having been tastefully restored. Being private, tranquil and comfortable, makes it the perfect space for you and your family to relax, rest and explore the Bay.
