A dog friendly, spacious house with enclosed yard. Amazing location for dogs with Milnthorpe Park and the beach both accessible straight out of the gate. House has a slightly utilitarian feel to it but was well equipped and held its heat well once warmed up. We had a great stay and look forward to another trip.
Quiet, comfortable, well stocked, clean, good parking, central to Kahurangi and Abel Tasman National Parks, Heaphy track. Estuary and beach walk my stand out. River Inn, Tinkys and Mussel Inn good feed. Friendly locals.
Great place for us and our friends. Got to visit all their old stomping grounds and the swimming at the beach was wonderful with the gorgeous view of the mountains.
Great location allowing access to all corners of Golden bay as day trips. No sea view but only minutes walk to the wharf or estuary. Dog friendly by arrangement.
This kiwi bach has everything we needed and the location is beyond perfect with pristine beach and bush on the doorstep - lots of beautiful places within easy reach, very quiet and private. Just wonderful. We have been before and will be back!
This is the second time that we've stayed and hope to again some day. The location is fantastic and the setup is perfect for a family with a dog. Highly rate!
We had a fantastic stay with Sandy and David, they were extremely accommodating, the place was fab and just as described. Would recommend the place to friends and family. Will also most likely stay again!
The bach had everything we needed. The kitchen was well appointed, the living space worked well for us with room to eat, watch tv or play games. The bedrooms were cosy and comfortable.We didn't need to leave the area as Milnthorpe is so beautiful with lovely walks, swimming and gorgeous beaches.Thank you Sandy
We loved our stay- being able to wander across to Milnthorpe Park and with the beach so close-it was such a treat. Really appreciated being able to have our dog-she had a the best holiday too-so many walks! Thank you.
A great location and bach to base yourselves. Superb hosts who couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a great experience in their bach and region. Thanks so much Sandy and David, our Canadian guests were very impressed.
Great wee bach in a perfect location, with beach, inlet and native bush all on your door step, and dogs welcome too. We had a fabulous week's holiday - definitely keen to stay for longer next time. Many thanks Sandy & Dave.
We had an amazing, relaxing stay. Perfect location to beach and forest walks. Sandy and Dave were perfect hosts and our dog Mr Truffles had an amazing time too. Probably the first properly fully fenced Bach we have stayed at. Thanks 😊
A wonderful time even though it rained for most of it. We got one short walk in and the remainder of the time was quality time with family from all over the world. Hosts were great. We can highly recommend this place.
We had a lovely relaxed stay at this property. There was plenty of space and we could let the dogs out onto the lawn and know they couldn't get off the property. It is right on the edge of the walking tracks in Millinthorpe bush and a short stroll to the beach. Perfect!
Peaceful cottage in spectacular environment for everyone including the family dog
Wonderful cottage in a peaceful surrounding with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The beach was an easy short walk down the road and was great for the kids to swim in at high tide. The bush walk across the road is an added bonus with lots of connecting tracks so you can choose a variety of walks. Being able to take the family dog was an added bonus and we all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.
We stayed with our dog and the location and facilities were superb. It's a basic batch but has everything you need. Fully fenced garden, 15 metres from Milnthorpe reserve and 300m from the beach. I think it will be somewhere we revisit on a regular basis.
