First time stay at Algies Bay...and loved it

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

Comfortable kiwi Bach stay

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.

Mid Century Classic

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 Bach

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.

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.
