BEAUTIFUL LOCATION

The owners have taken such a delightfully detailed approach to this home. The location is perfect with ocean views but quiet as it's back from the main road. I loved the retro china and vibe. There was stacks of firewood, a great shower and a well stocked kitchen. We managed to jam and drawer and a window wouldn't close after we opened it - but they were very sweet about it and even drove 2 hours to fix the window.

Amazing view & minutes from the beach

From the moment we drove through the gates we knew we were going to have an amazing stay. No detail has been spared on this property, we appreciated all the design aspects of the bach, inside & out. The photos do not do it justice! We had an amazing stay and would love to come back in the summer. Thank you Maxine & Jon for sharing your wonderful bach with us. .

Perfect secluded beach getaway

Everything that we had hoped for when we planned our visit to Piha. Comfortable, well equipped private cottage with fabulous views and sunsets. Easy walk to beautiful Piha Beach. The hot water outdoor shower was a treat and you saw and heard nothing but the surf.

Excellent seaside home

Incredible location! A short two minute walk to the beach and a ten minute walk to the Piha store which has everything a tourist needs. The home was beautiful too! The outdoor shower is such a nice feature. Hosts were easy to reach and communicate with. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Piha.

Didnt want to leave!

This is a perfect piece of paradise. All you need is to stock up on food and drink before you leave Auckland, everything else is provided. The views, sun, privacy and quiet in this beautifully updated bach nestled amoungst stunning old pohutakawa trees makes you feel relaxed from the moment you drive through the gate. We feel so lucky to have stayed here, thank you Maxine and Jon. We will be back!

Nostalgia

Return after 50 years finds the majestic lion as great as it was back in the 60s. Our stay short as it was was so enjoyable. The property as a whole was just perfect. The pohutukawa ,ti kouka, kowhai and palms were beautiful and property was quite magical. Family members came to view the place. Exploring and following the paths was a great hit. Inside the Bach was perfection. A Bach still with the old blends with the new. The view of the beach from windows snd decks was quite superb. It had everything one could wish for in accommodation. Maxine it was great to have you check in to see if all was well we appreciated that so Thankyou. We will be back.
