Introducing Mahia Bach: A Tranquil Retreat on the West Coast of the Mahia Peninsula

Welcome to Mahia Bach, a captivating beach house nestled on a remote cliff top plateau on the stunning west coast of the Mahia Peninsula. This exquisite location offers breathtaking views of the peninsula, the Pacific Ocean, Hawkes Bay, Mahia town, and the enchanting surrounding hills.

Designed with sustainability in mind, the building services of Mahia Bach are completely 'off grid,' requiring thoughtful consideration of module orientation, design, and detailing, as well as fixtures that prioritize conservative services use. This ensures a harmonious connection with nature while minimizing environmental impact.

Not only does Mahia Bach cater to the frequent visits of the owners, but it also provides comfortable accommodation for transient farm hands. The innovative design of transportable modules allows for flexibility and ease of construction, overcoming the challenges posed by the isolated location and limited capacity of local tradespeople. Each module is thoughtfully linked on-site with external north/west facing decks, creating a seamless blend between indoor and outdoor living spaces. The central covered secondary dining space acts as the heart of the bach, surrounded by two bedroom modules, a bunkroom, and an amenities module, ensuring ample space for relaxation and rejuvenation.
