We loved our stay at Bach 28! Great location close to the shops, surf club, cafes and right opposite a cut through to the beach. The bach was private, clean, and bigger than expected. The perfect getaway for our family with a 5 year old and 2 year old and we would absolutely book here again!

Great Bach

Friendly hosts, easy check-in and check-out, and good location. Attended a wedding at Flatwhite — only a 10 min walk to restaurant/beach, and 10 min walk to the main street of stores and shops. Thanks for the stay!

Great little cottage by the beach

We stayed here a few nights while visiting New Zealand and it was great. The beach is a short walk away and some other things were just a short drive. The Flat White Cafe right on the beach is a must.

Cosy on a cold and windy weekend

We really enjoyed the wood burning fire over our stay, it was windy and cold, but the bach had a cosy relaxed feeling. The bach was tidy and everything worked well. Thanks for the stay.

We loved our time at the bach

We loved our time at the bach. It is a practical but also funky and modern space. It had everything that we needed for a great stay, both when the weather was hot and when it was nicer to be indoors. Close to everything you need. We had a fantastic stay, many thanks :)

We stayed 4 nights during our wedding

We stayed 4 nights during our wedding. Well located only a short walk ti the beach and main town.The place was so cute. Felt like home to us. We used the small fire place which heated well. We had a couple of really wild windy nights and there was a draft from the back door but we felt safe and cozy. Would totally stay there again
