Tairua timeout

Great little old school bach all self contained. Very clean and comfortable had everything we needed. The place made us feel relaxed like home away from home. The main road location was perfect for us.

Gorgeous wee treasure nestled away from the hub and bub but also very close to the township. It has everything you need for a relaxing or active holiday. Throughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Jan, for sharing your holiday crib/bach with us.

A Great Stay

This was the second time we stayed. An old kiwi bach with all that is needed for a comfortable home away from home. We travelled, this & last time as a small multi generation family group. Will stay when in the area.

Good location close to town

The location was good as close to town and beach. The accommodation was quite dated and the floors were not level which was a bit disconcerting!

Great accommodation

This Kiwi Bach was a wonderful base for us (a group of 3 friends) to explore the Coromandel Peninsula. Very comfortable, clean and tidy with all required amenities. Hosts were lovely, as was their little dog Minty. Would highly recommend!

Cosy little bach

The bach is a small separate building behind the main house. It is small but tidy. Jan was very friendly and even left us some produce from the garden. Space is tight, but this was ok for just 2 of us.

We all enjoyed staying in this bach, it's closed to the shops and takeways. Nice owner

Good location and clean environment. Owner Jan lives in the house in front of the bach which is handy for asking any questions. She is very helpful BTW.

Handy spot

Good location near the town and beaches. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very kind but we made the most of our short stay.The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. She kindly offered us another night free if we couldn't drive out because of flooding. At low tide the next day we could drive carefully through the flooded road and head home.Tairua is a friendly town with a variety of good eateries.
