Host was quick to reply to my queries. We felt that the house needed an upgrade and maybe some personal items of ornaments etc be removed On the whole it was fairly clean. The kitchen was well stocked with crockery and utensils. The house was comfortable for our family and only 5 minutes walk from the beach.

It was a pleasure to host Anne and her family during their stay in NZ . The weather was dissapointing and rainy whilst they were here however I understand that they enjoyed the proximity to the beach. Anne took great care of our family bach, leaving it clean and tidy I can recommend her to other hosts offering family accomodation.

Just a short stay

Great stop over for two nights. Older style bach with everything you need. Awesome outdoor area with big deck to enjoy the sunshine and loved the fact that linen and towels were supplied - walk in walk out. Not quite swimming weather but the beach is only a hop, skip and a jump away! Thank you for having us.

Great traditional Bach

Great Kiwi Bach! Very comfortable with all the things you need for a beach holiday and plenty of space indoors and out. Comfortable beds and a heat pump too, which we didn’t need, as there was a good sea breeze. Fabulous location down the Estuary end of Whangamata. Rechelle was a wonderful host, very friendly, helpful and easy to deal with.

What a wonderful Bach. In a very quiet location, 1 minute walk to beach and estuary. Takeaway and convenience store across the road, which has everything from ice creams to paddle board hire. Very comfortable beds. Extremely well-equipped kitchen. Large back deck with great indoor, outdoor flow. Plenty of parking. Neighbours close. Extremely welcoming and generous owner who allowed us to stay longer which was very much appreciated. Just lovely!
