Onaero Bay is just a short 25 minutes north of New Plymouth on State Highway 3. Close enough to have a relaxing weekend away and feel like you've come back totally relaxed and renewed.
Our kiwi bach is on the Onaero Domain and borders the estuary of the Onaero River which is not only safe for swimming but has its own private boat jetty to launch the kayaks as well as a whitebait net (in season). We have two kayaks which you are welcome to use (please use the lifejackets supplied).
The bach is comfortable and roomy enough for a family or just a couple wanting time out. The area is very sheltered but for the cooler days there is a wood fire.
There is a master bedroom with a queen bed plus a bunk room which has a double bed, a set of bunks with a double on the bottom and a single on the top and a sofa bed. There is also a rollaway bed, a portacot and a highchair. The fee is for the first two people and any others are an extra $40/night per person.
Almost everything is supplied, including linen (if you use ours) and basic pantry items. There is one spare toilet roll. Just bring what you need for your stay. Enjoy!
The Onaero Beach is a very safe beach and close by; perfect for swimming, surfing and fishing.
There is a boat ramp five minutes drive away and also close by you will find a nice cafe and shopping available at Urenui Superette along with a tavern and fuel requirements. Urenui also has a 9-hole golf course.
New Plymouth boasts many fine attractions including beautiful Pukekura Park, the Bowl of Brooklands where many famous artists have entertained, the Coastal Walkway and Wind Wand, along with Govett Brewster Art Gallery and Pukeariki Museum. Mt Taranaki/Egmont is also not far away for those wanting to explore the bush walks.
