Cute little cottage

The cottage hides in a stunning farm overlooking the river and the beach. We enjoyed the most was watching the sunset by the campfire on the beach and also the wake-up calls of the birds. Great place for a family escape.

Wonderful place!

Had such an amazing time! The place was so peaceful, and the stars at night were unreal. The accommodation was pretty basic, but for the price? Totally worth it! Everything was clean and tidy, just don’t forget to bring your own bedding or a sleeping bag. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a chill spot, and I’ll definitely be back!

The host was very friendly and helpful, the kitchen was well equipped and the location was great. On the less positive side, it is not a great place to stay when it is windy (there were gale force winds while we there); the walls rattled noisily and the wind came up through the decking flooring in the front room, as well as blowing straight into the long drop which has no door. Some of the furniture is extremely worn and lacking in charm. The bathroom window has no covering so lacks privacy. Overall just could do with a bit more care and attention to detail, like a lick of paint here and there.

Unique remote kiwi Bach.

Wonderful to be phone and tech free! The Bach a relaxing place to stay. Great star-gazing with zero light pollution, a great break from the hassles of daily life. Thanks for having us, we will return 😊

Great little basic bach

Nice basic little bach. No large pots in the kitchen, so if you're chasing crayfish, it might pay to take your own.

Lovely spot, had a great time.

Real kiwi Bach, could do with a new second hand couch as it was very uncomfortable. All in all a neat ace to stay.

Thank you for your feedback Mike. We have replaced the old couch with something hopefully more comfortable!
