Nice stay at the batch very relaxing beautiful view looking straight out to sea from the deck nice and cosy warm fireLovely host very good communication thanks so much Mou and Mollie
Beautiful location, warm cosy house, loved the fireplace, good shower, comfy bed, pleasant friendly host, cleanliness was below standard. would stay here again.
We looked out over the ocean, as we always do, we have been staying at Mollie’s every year for four years- we absolutely love it. 10/10- can’t wait for next year.
Mollie was lovely to deal with, easy communication, great Kiwi bach with all that you need to enjoy a beach holiday. Kids loved having the rockpools right on our doorstep.
Lovely Kiwi bach. Friendly hostess who provided very good information to find the bach and get set up. This is a traditional, simple, comfortable and very clean bach with a great sea view and warmed by a good log fire. Couldn’t have been better for a real escape from a busy life.
Excellent time away. Communication with the hosts was excellent, stunning ocean views, house was warm and had every everything we needed. Close to the beach and to Castlepoint lighthouse.We will definitely come back.
We love staying at Mollys it was our second time. Everything you need it there, it gives real NZ batch vibes. Only a short drive or walk to a sandy beach, pure relaxation. Thanks, we will be back again next year
Lovely stay. Perfect spot to get away from everything and experience the wild coast. Loved sitting in the warm lounge watching the ever changing tides and exploring the rock formations.
