The house was just great. Had everything we needed and was immaculate. Very easy 80m walk from the jetty. Beautiful evening sun on the Deck. Easy walk to Furneaux for a bowl of hot chip and a beer. We loved running the Queen Charlotte trails in the mornings. Very toddler friendly. We will be back for sure.

We came to this batch as a mini-moon as we just had our destination wedding in Marlborough. This place was perfect as it was 'off-the-grid' and allowed us to unwind and relax to decompress from the perfect wedding we had. We loved living basic, having access by boat only and feeling like it was our own little world. The outdoor shower is a favourite, and fishing off the deck and catching dinner was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!

Born in the 80s so we still appreciate all the pristine realics, Tupperware, bone handled knives and other utensils, copper-head-rose ;-) The fun and functional couch, radio and melamine family dinner table. The Bach is perfect for down time. No WiFi, but there are enough mod-cons like a washing machine, TV, kayaks and hot water and the proxity to the track and wharf and private mooring were incredible. We enjoyed coffee everyday sitting on the wharf in the sun. Thanks Brian (please think of us when you decide to sell!), and especially thank you Moira and Steve who are very special locals.

Lovely house much better than any Bach we have rented clean and tidy and brilliant location
