Paradise

We loved our short stayed at this cosy and very cute bach which was hidden amongst gorgeous trees and garden. We were very well looked after and would love to return to this special and beautiful place sometime.

Idyllic

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Little Black Bach. It’s a cozy and charming little classic kiwi bach set in a beautiful garden of mature trees. We really enjoyed a range of activities from hiking on the QC track, kayaking, swimming, a little photography, some idle afternoons reading and lovely evening bbqs on the deck. Rex and Raewyn were great hosts who were always available but left us to our own devices. Thoroughly recommend!

Why they chose this property

You want the classic kiwi bach experience! Off the grid, private, a stone's throw from the water's edge and even a ladder to climb into the main bedroom.
