Beachfront getaway

We loved the location right on the beach. Big deck and outside area AND use of the owners kayaks AND we were allowed to take our dogs! The beach is fabulous AND close to Matauri Bay and Tauranga Bay for awesome day excursions. The house had everything we needed. The owners were excellent to deal with. Top holiday getaway. We loved it and will stay there again

Great beachfront property

We had a wonderful family weekend at Chris’ property at Te Ngaere Bay. Truly beachfront and a fantastic real Kiwi bach with books, games a bit of history but also all of the mods cons like a Nespresso machine, wifi, polished concrete floors, induction cooker and granite bench tops. Was pet friendly for our dog with was a wonderful bonus and he loved the beach. A wonderful weekend-thank you

Unbeatable Location

Position is perfect beachfront, beautiful views, good swimming beach. Very grateful to be able to bring my dog. Kitchen very well equipped. We were a little sad that property needs some attention. Section and entrance untidy and some parts of the interior could be better presented. Neighbours properties are immaculate. However our host was wonderful - most obliging and great communication. Many thanks.

Fantastic location and great bach

We had an awesome stay - seven days so the on top of the amazing beaches and just sitting looking at the beach and island view there was kayaking, snorkeling, a great walk and day trips fairly close, the table tennis and lots of books which came in handy. Chris was great to communicate with and would definitely recommend.

Amazing!

What an amazing location. Well worth the visit, even in the cooler months. The house has a great fire place and our lovely host made sure we were well stocked with firewood. The access to the beach and surround areas are better then none. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. Melanie

Blissful few days!

The bach was just as described in the listing, had everything we needed and some! We really enjoyed the '1970's' homewares and bach style. Lovely position nestled in beside the beach. Te Ngaere is a lovely bay as it is very quiet and there are not many baches there. Great for swimming (safe) and we had great fun using the 2 kayaks that were supplied. We would definitely go back if we had the opportunity!
