Second time we stayed. We just love the location, views and being able to bring the pooch. Bach was very clean but be aware you need to bring everything, no tea, oil or salt and pepper or any basics.

This kiwi bach is amazing – it's very comfortable and has everything you need for a great stay. The location is indeed stunning, you can’t get a better view. Fish & chips at the local shop is a must. We loved it here and will definitely be back (also great that we could bring our dog with us).

This place is a wonderful spot right on the beach. If the owner spent some on a few basic items to update things it would be a 5 star stay. She shower has a constant drip once the Mains are on. Also the toilet seat is very small compared to the actual toilet. And also the curtains need fixing, but they did warn us about those.

Epic spot in a traditional kiwi bach

Location couldnt be better. House needs a little love, especially the kitchen. Thankfully we read the comments and brought a lot of kitchen things with us. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mid Winter/Matariki get away

We have stayed at Windsong many times over the last 6 years.Its location and views are awesome but the closeness to the beach is the real winner. We probably spend 50% of the time out and about, day or night!This bach is what a good bach should be, simple. If you want your high end top of the range accomodation with shiny object and all the creature comforts of a 5star then this isn't for you. This bach is for people who appreciate "going to a bach" and simply slowing down.Will be back.

Perfect spot

Great little place, absolute perfect spot. Everything you need except a decent clothes line, and no washer or dryer. We got caught in a heavy downpour and got soaked and there was no way to dry our only warm clothes, and please fix those curtains, it wouldn't take much. Would stay here again.
