Great place to stay

We had a wonderful time at this lovely property. It's like an old fashioned kiwi bach brought fully up to date and made very comfortable with everything you could need (BYO linen). There is a great little pub/restaurant down the hill and Kaka Point is an excellent place to explore the Catlo s.

We had a lovely time. Crib was everything that was one this site. Very clean and tidy. Location handy to beach and amenities. There was a boil drink notice for the area so the owner dropped off some water which we were grateful for.

Comfortable cottage

Great location. Love the decor. Almost everything you need except sheets and towels. Attachment re linen and boiling the water did not travel with the email and could not access app. so it caused us a few difficulties. Drank the water too before we realised. Fortunately the boil water warning was cancelled.

Loved the house for our stay. Everything worked out well - the house was comfortable and clean and had almost everything we needed for our stay. Because we flew in linen was a problem but we were able to solve it.
