Great place!

Amazing views, easy beach access. My family loved this place and we will be coming back only downside the bottom room beds were not comfortable at all. All in all this is a great place!!

Beautiful spot

The place was perfect... it was lovely, sunny, warm and welcoming. It felt a bit like being in a tree house (altho a bit noisy for the poor folks who were sleeping in the rooms downstairs - you could hear everything going on in the lounge/kitchen) and so close to the beach. I loved it!

great location

the property was in a great location and the bedroom/bathroom setup was perfect for a group of people. Having no curtains is a bit weird though and less than ideal. The parking situation is also not that great with only space for one car in a space that is poorly marked if you arrive in the dark.

Beautiful bach in great location

I stayed here with my family for a long weekend. The bach is beautiful, set in the bush with views of the sea. The location is ideal since it is halfway between Onetangi and Oneroa. The owner/s were very helpful with my 101 questions including when I needed to get refunds for two people. 10/10 for a relaxing weekend

Nice place

The downstairs rooms were very musty with a strong unpleasant smell. Some trees need cutting back as it was windy and a lot of noise of them scraping against the house which gave for a very disturbed sleep. The lack of curtains made for early wake up. Apart from those things the house was entirely suitable for a holiday and had everything we needed and we very much enjoyed our stay. Plenty of amenities, good hot water supply and comfy beds.

The view of the beach.

The view of the beach. The design of the house was awesome, with sliding doors and windows that stacked on one side, giving a feeling of space and it brought the outdoors inside. Quality linen. House was well equipped. Excellent location near a bush walk and easy walk to the beach. Bus stop close by.

Such an amazing bach, a home away from home but with better views and perfect weather.

Such an amazing bach, a home away from home but with better views and perfect weather. Would stay here again every single time. A new bach with an open plan that's great for socializing with friends. Highly recommend this bach to any family or group of friends.
