Woodpecker Bay Bach ~ Life on the edge.

Woodpecker Bay Bach is a rustic, cosy, New Zealand bach. If you want to escape the rat race... this is the place for you! Woodpecker Bay Bach is often fully booked - if your dates are not available - be sure to see my other oceanfront properties... Waihaha Bach, Te Tutu Bach, Little Blue, Bach 51 and Waituhi at Whitehorse Bay. The space The location right next to the crashing ocean is a breathtaking feature of this property. The bach is rustic and quirky. Filled with lots of treasures from a bygone era... think 'simple family holiday from 70 years ago' and you're getting close. Wifi, Netflix, and Bluetooth speakers provide some modern conveniences. A bach (pronounced 'batch') is a small, often very modest holiday home or beach house. Baches are an iconic part of New Zealand's history and culture from mid 20th century. HELP SAVE THE PENGUINS - A portion of every booking from our six West Coast baches is donated to the West Coast Penguin Trust. $14,036.00 has been donated so far (as of Feb 2026). The penguins thank you! Guest access Guests have total access to the whole property. Other things to note PLEASE NOTE: The flush toilet is located outside down a short garden path. Water supply is rainwater collected the from the roof to a small tank, this is topped up with water drawn from a local waterfall - You may wish to bring bottled water for drinking... though I always just drink water straight from the tap. Note that at times the water can appear slightly tea coloured from the natural tannins is the water. Bring all your food!... the nearest shops are 30 minutes away in Westport.
