Bach 114 is located near Islington Bay on a promontory above the old tennis courts & stone pavilion. This bach is a 1 and a ½ hour walk along the road from Rangitoto Wharf towards Motutapu Island or a 2 and a ½ hour kayak from Auckland to Islington Bay.
Since the 1920s the baches on Rangitoto have been available to only a few lucky families but now you can join them. This bach has been lovingly restored by the Rangitoto Island Historic Conservation Trust (RIHCT) with the addition of modern bedding, cooking and toilet facilities.
Bach 114 is the larger of the three Bookabach baches available, with 2 bedrooms and 7 single beds. There is a large dining/sitting room and a light spacious sun-porch. Gas cooking and heating are installed and solar panels operate the lighting system and 12v chilly bin. The bach is totally ‘off grid’ complete with a cassette style toilet.
Getting there:
Bach 114 is located in mature Pohutukawa forest at Islington Bay, on the road junction to Islington Bay. The Bach is a 2 minute walk from Islington Bay Wharf along the road or an hour and a half walk from Rangitoto Wharf. There is a network of well-defined walking tracks on both islands giving access to the volcanic features of Rangitoto and the native bush restoration and archaeological sites on Motutapu. Both islands are pest free and you will see native birds and other native wildlife often absent on the mainland.
While the rocky shoreline of Rangitoto makes swimming difficult the sandy beaches of Motutapu are just a short walk away.
