A classic Kiwi bach. One expects quirky things but that's to be expected and we were comfortable and enjoyed the lovely views and beach vibe. Being so close to the lovely beach, and to the road, it's recommended to bring ear plugs for the road noise. Thanks for the very good communication and ease of check-in.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The place was described as spotless, it was a far cry from that, on entering the property the smell was terrible, we tried to open all the windows but most were stuck with countless coats of paint, the faults of dirt etc are too numerous to mention but photos have been taken, .We were not told about traffic noise which was going on most of the night and kept us awake.

Excellent for much needed rest and relaxation. Coffee in the much loved swivel blue chairs in front of the big windows, board games during the rain, stunning sunsets from the master bedroom, awsome swimming holes, hiking and fishing spots off the rocks...so good, we loved it!

Beautiful location, house had everything we needed. The fire place is such a bonus and though the house was warm and cosy with out it.The drive way is a little scary but with confidence and caution can be managed. Other than that our stay was perfect.The view is amazing in any weather, rain or sun shine.Thanks for having us and help make our holiday great.
