The Old Bakery - Collingwood Holiday Home

On the shores of the estuary, in a location steeped in history, rests this classic Kiwi bach. Packed with charm and boasting views that are hard to beat; this is The Old Bakery! From the moment you arrive at this Collingwood holiday home, you’ll feel welcome. In fact, it’s written in mosaic right there on the driveway! Park the car, there’s even space to park the boat, and settle right in for your Golden Bay getaway. A gorgeous sitting room is decorated with a nod to the history of the home. Open up the doors and windows and let the breeze flow through as you settle in with a coffee and a good book. Or, on a mid-year getaway, light the wood burning fireplace, and settle in for a night in front of the tele. Next door, a dine-in kitchen awaits, ready for you to prepare and share delicious holiday meals. On a warm summer evening, why not whip up a few sides, fire up the BBQ, and grill the fresh catch of the day against a breathtaking backdrop. Three bedrooms here at The Old Bakery comfortably offer up to seven guests a place to rest their head and recharge the batteries. For the littlest family members, there’s even a port-a-cot and high chair available. The large deck at the rear of The Old Bakery is a great place to while away the hours staring out at the water. Steps lead down to a lovely flat grassy area, ideal for a picnic or an afternoon match of backyard cricket! Launch the provided kayaks and paddle the blue waters of the estuary for a bit of relaxing exercise. History buffs will love the old bakers oven in the backyard here at The Old Bakery.

The total price for your booking will include Bachcare’s cleaning and linen service fee, which will be paid as part of your booking. Check out the “owners fees” on your booking summary for details of these fees. Other things to note: This property is at the rear of a shop and a hair salon. As the property has unfenced access to the estuary, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water. As the deck has no barrier and a small drop on to grass and shells, all guests should take care when using this area due to the risk of falls. There are life-jackets available to use with the kayak(s) but we do recommend that guests bring their own well-fitting life-jackets to ensure safety.
