Really loved this kiwi bach. The fireplace was great for the cold nights. The beach was close. Really easy check in and communication. Would definitely stay again.
Great bach that feels lived in with all the cooking ustensiles you ll need, a great fire place and great instructions about arriving and leaving! Thank you!
It was a typical kiwi bach- perfect and exactly what we wanted. Everything we needed, though the surface areas could of needed with a good wipe down. Just a build up of dust and grime on shelves and cabnetry that could be wiped. Overall great place for a family get away.
Traditional family batch just relax and enjoy the location
Great basic old fashioned batch. Brilliant place to kick back relax and enjoy the quiet location. Enjoyed, friendly locals, walks in the reserve and amazing views. The beach goes for miles of sand. The house has a good wood burner which was wonderful as a southerly rolled through.
