We loved our stay, even happy to sit out a storm for a couple if days! The best view and we were very comfortable. Everything was there, had netflix, books, games etc for the inside days. Shops and restaurants a 5 minute walk. Note to others, the second bedroom has bunks plus single bed, not the double bed listed, however didnt worry us. Thanks!

Beautiful spot!

A lovely, tranquil spot with lots of visiting tuis in the trees around the property and an amazing view of the water. Some great bush walks a stones throw away and a short walk to get dinner or coffee. Great swimming nearby at Cable Bay. Also a good bach for our dogs with the outside shower and the bach not getting too hot during the day.

Bach life!

We had a lovely stay here at this quintessential kiwi Bach. The location was fantastic to explore the surrounding areas. Loved the view of the harbour from the deck. Just a short walk to the famous fish and chip shop! Would love to come back again. Thank you!

Mill Bay Stay

This property suited our needs. Liked the location and very casual and comfortable. We did have bit of a hard time finding it as no house number. Some people may be put off by outside toilet. We would stay there again.

Loved it

Stayed with my mum (78 yrs old) and we both really loved it, what a fabulous place. Tidy, super close to the the village, and yet calm and quite. Only improvement would have been to know that the toilet is somewhat external, requiring some steps at night, which may be of interest to some.

Great place to stay on our trip to the far north. Really good location, just a short walk to the famous Mangonui F&C shop. Great view over Mill Bay. I would recommend this Bach to friends and family and would definitely stay again

Perfect spot

We had a lovely time at Settler’s Dream Bach. It had everything we needed and the location was perfect, views fantastic and you can’t help but feel relaxed sitting out on the deck in the sun watching the kotare fly around.

The real Kiwi bach!

Whilst we all love shiny new things, it isn't often these days, that you get to stay in a real bach. Where the crockery doesn't match, where you wash your dishes by hand but where you feel that you are a part of the history of a really special property. We loved it here!

Response from VrboOwner on 23 February 2022
We don't advertise that there is a fenced off area so if that is what you need for your dog, you should ask. There are 2 covered areas outside and plenty of rope available. We don't ask for extra for dogs as some do, but we do have an expectation that dog droppings are collected and disposed of suitably. Thanks for staying at ours.
