Family getaway

Weekend away for 3 generations of family. Beautiful spot. The house was homely, warm and comfortable. We had everything we needed. The view is amazing and I could’ve sat on the deck and taken the surroundings in for hours. Easy communication with the hosts. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise, would love to stay again in the future.

Magical!

We visited for 2 nights, and found ourselves wanting to stay longer. Wished we could have booked for a week! The view is magical, as the holiday home has a great elevated position. The home itself was super clean, lovely and light, a family hone with all you could possibly want for a relaxing break from your usual life.

Perfect accommodation in a great location

The quintessential kiwi bach experience. Great location, close to the beach. A welcoming and comfortable home for the weekend, we appreciated the extras like games, use of a BBQ, selection of DVD's, and comfy chairs on the deck to admire the view.Only negative was the shower draining very slowly - no issue once a backlog of hair had been removed.We had a fabulous weekend, thank you for sharing your bach.

Weekend getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this lovely batch. It was clean and cosy with an unmatchable view. We did some nice nearby walks at the regional park and spent hours in the lounge just soaking in the view. The host was responsive and the house was clean with everything we needed.

Why they chose this property

Dad built this holiday home 30 years ago when his parents use to live next door. Many decades of memories with dad camping at Kaiaua as a kid and visiting the local mechanic where the neighbours big black shed is now
