Amazing Location

Traditional NZ bach with an amazing views and location.We had a lovely time.A bit hard to get your head around layout but 1 bedroom with a view at the front with 2 king SINGLE Beds and a cubby next to it with a small bed. A bunk room and another room at the back of the house with 2 king SINGLE Beds. The Queen Sized Bed is in the loft is through the garage and doesn't have a view and not as easy to use as the other rooms. Other than not understanding the bed arrangement we really liked the bach.

Amazing place. This was our second visit. You can’t get more beachfront, and for those who love fishing and diving, the Cavalli islands are just around the corner. Nigel is a great host who communicates really well.

Perfect family holiday.

Amazing location right on the beach front. Enjoyed watching the bird and sea life right on the doorstep. A kayak around the bay as an extra activity was amazing. Certainly recommend this one. Thanks all.

Wonderful beach getaway

This Bach is the perfect place to stay for a relaxing break with friends and family. The location is unbeatable and peaceful, we were often the only people on the beach during our stay. We loved the peace and quiet, amazing views and the opportunity to explore or fish on the kayaks. A well equipped kitchen ideal for foodies and a comfortable place to stay and relax. Thanks Nigel.

Idyllic beach house

A traditional New Zealand holiday house built around an old pohutokawa tree. Immediate access onto a beautiful beach. The house has everything you might want. The kayaks are ideal for exploring the bay. The host is very attentive.
