Excellent spot and homely

This property somehow makes you feel like you're the captain of a ship looking out over the bay, while also being homely and inviting. It's got everything you might want in a bach, including that there's an access way that going directly to the beach.

Time to Relax at Siesta on Martins Bay

Great place to stay with lots of space and amazing views as it sits high on the hilltop overlooking the beach. With wide bay windows its nice to sit and look out over the expansive views. Lots of beds available for the extended family. Access to the beach is easy with a short walk or 2 min drive. The owners are very responsive and down to earth. I would stay here again. Nice fishing spot too, bring your rods/boat!

Beach Break

We had a great stay at this cute 60s bach. There was plenty of room and you could even have two families stay if you wanted. It's location is great with a relaxing view over the beach and only a five minute walk down a pathway to the water. The beach is gorgeous. Everything was clean and tidy. Kids loved the table tennis table. It's not far back to the shops at Snells if you're feeling like a coffee or too lazy to cook. I would take our family back there. So close to Auckland. Thanks very much. Melissa & Michael
