What is a Bach... (note Airconditioning to keep you warm or cool)
A "bach" also called a crib in the southern half of the South Island on New Zealand, is a small, often very modest holiday home or beach house.
Little River Bach is a modest yet comfortable holiday cottage for couples or small families, located adjacent to our sister property - River Oaks on the Mary - yet sufficiently removed to offer privacy. It overlooks the green fields of the neighbouring dairy farm, Kenilworth Bluff and fronts the Mary River (100m from the door).
The cottage is a rustically restored farm shed and furnished in country farm house style, with 2 bedrooms, one bathroom, lounge | dining | kitchenette and a deck with private garden. We have a small number of internal stairs, so not ideal for those who have difficulty with mobility, however the shower is an easy step in.
The Little River Bach makes for a great base to explore the Mary Valley, enjoy water pursuits on the river, visit the rainforests, waterfalls and Kenilworth Village.
