What a great spot and a cool classic kiwi bach. We had a great mini staycation in Nigel’s bach. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The local store is just down the road and beautiful Mouresses Bay is a short walk down the hill. Great communication from Nigel, thank you for having us!

the house was nice and clean on arrival.Classic New Zealand batch, everything you need inside and more, but it’s all about that view. Easy walk to the beach short drives to the other coves and a cheeky coffee and an ice cream at the campground

Northland Gem!

We had a fantastic holiday, and the house was just what we hoped for. It had everything in it that we needed for a very comfortable stay. The view over the ocean, islands and beach are exceptional and something we never got tired off - it was hard to leave. The peace and quiet of the place was so good to experience after a very busy year. Certainly a bach that we hope to return to again.
