My partner and I stayed at Annie's place for a weekend getaway. The bach is a good size for a couple, and has an amazing location with the beach 20m from the back door.
10/10, would stay again š
The building reminded me of our old beach bach at Mt Maunganui many years ago, and it was ideal for my much needed break. Clean, comfortable and literally right on the beach - just what I needed! Also very well equipped for a family lunch whilst there.
We really enjoyed our 5 nights here. The bach is as described, basic but comfortable, with good cooking facilities and a homely vibe and wonderful location.
Thanks for sharing!! š
The Pipi Palace was exactly what we wanted.....A back to basics holiday ( if fridge/freezer, air fryer and wifi is basic these days!). It's an amazing location and we relived my cherished childhood memories of summer hols at Papamoa. Don't change a thing and enjoy a simple holiday whilst you can........

Unique old school bach right on the beach. Fantastic location but needs a couple of items sorted to reach a maximum rating. Will communicate these to the property manager

Pipi palace is a little piece of paradise for anyone who doesn't want all the flashy modcons but wants to be comfortable and warm in an amazing setting. Communication was best done by texting but Annie got back in a timely manner.
We'll definitely be back
We enjoyed two nights here, the weather played its part and it was simply stunning! Very relaxing, close to shops and pub. Couldnāt get any closer to the beach - superb location! The Bach is as listed and not 5 star but the view makes up for that! Very comfortable and warm. Unfortunately no milk or sugar was supplied so we couldnāt have a cuppa tea on our first night - we arrived very late. But we sorted that in the morning. No flannels, no other little extras like little body wash ect so make sure you bring everything with you.
Other than that - superb!

Thank you kindly for your feed back & appreciate to read you both found Pipi Palaceās cozy ambiance & location superb.
Pipi palaceās presentation of Queen bed tastefully made for oneās arrival / bathroom towels, to a fully equipped kitchen also included incidentals for one's stay of Cuppacino or Flat white sachets/ tea & bathroom soap.
Pipi Palace is an iconic vintage kiwi bach and as per description suggests to anyone āif wishing for palatial thrills then this is not the place ".
However, next time, youāll be pleased to find, added little extraās of milk /sugar to "shower body- wash" in place.
Thank you for selecting the "BACH ON BEACH"- "PIPI PALACE".
