Had a good stay. It was pretty much as advertised so we really enjoyed it. Communication with our host was excellent It does get a little cold (old style bach so is expected) but there was plenty of fire wood so we kept cosy and warm. A perfect place to stay if you like staying in a truly authentic kiwi bach! Would easily stay again.

Great, unique bach

This is our second time staying here - the kids were really little when we first stayed. Now they are both at uni. A great place for the family to hang out. Clean, comfortable, quirky and warm. We never got bored. Highly recommended!
