Great location, great views, kitchen well provisioned with all the basics — solid old school bach with classic charms and camp vibes. We had a great time!
Perfect little get away for our family of 7 plus toddler and 2 dogs, as we like a more traditional bach accommodation. Met by owner Don, who was gracious despite our lateness, and he provided a splendid overview of the area (which is stunning). We had a wonderful time
Everything you need for a lazy time near the beach. Just a minute or two to the beach. Well-equipped kitchen plenty of room. Lovely to sit out on the verandah and look at the ocean.
We loved the mid century vibe.... a classic kiwi Bach and a very nostalgic stay. Proximity to beach and some great walks was wonderful. Large deck and great views.

Host was very welcoming :). Wonderful 1970s style kiwi batch with very little upgrade since original build. Amenities particularly shower and bathroom facilities are very basic and need attention - the shower area is a slip hazard. The double bed and beds in one of the bedrooms downstairs would benefit from adding a mattress topper because they’re very hard (even for kids). The rear door on the second floor should have a catch so it can stay open (we used one of our travel boxes to keep it open during the day to get a cross breeze through the house. The roller blinds need to be replaced. Absolutely stunning location and a great DVD collection for family movie nights
Classic kiwi family home with a great balcony view of the ocean. Enjoyed the dvd selections and family board games. Great location to walk to the beach from. Front neighbours are happy and friendly. Would recommend.
My friend and I had a lovely weekend at this Bach. It was the perfect classic kiwi Bach, close to shops and beaches and the neighbourhood was lovely. Thanks for having us Don!
Stayed here for a week with partner and friends. This Bach is very much your classic NZ Bach which does come across in listing and reflects the price as well. Excellent location close to the beach with everything needed to make stay comfortable. Some furniture and decor etc could probably be replaced to spruce it up a little but otherwise comfortable.
Home away from home by the beach. Traditional style bach. Amazing views from the deck. thanks for letting us stay.

Very good location as from the deck, living area and bedrooms has great views of the sea across to islands in the Bay. Two minutes walk to the beach. Safe swimming there from mid-tide and a good playground for kids. Well located to explore other coastal areas and Matakana activities. Kitchen and BBQ worked well. Plenty of boxed games for kids and adults. Overall furnishings are typical of a 20th century beach house.
