Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Communication
Very special wooden cottage set in quite large private grounds half surrounded by bush, stream running through. Great location near Pakawau beach. Well equipped for cooking, we ate in most nights. Signage/communication could be better and a few worn cushions/outdoor chair covers could be replaced, a bit of paint here and there also needed.

Tucked away with the birds and the bush
This is a real NZ bach - and the setting is refreshing and relaxing and very private. The two upstairs bedrooms are accessed by ladder - just great for a family holiday - kids especially would love it. There is a stream at the bottom of the garden and its sound along with the birds and the beautiful canopy of bush -sitting on the verandah - just makes this place perfectly aligned with the remoteness of the location.
