    A beautiful spot

    An amazing get away so close to the city, but seemingly so far. It is right in front of a great swimming beach. A very well set up Bach. Sunday was especially idyllic with the coastal 4 wheel closed for the day.

    Location spectacular

    Comprehensively and thoughtfully equiped, different but exciting location, competent 4WD vehicle preferable especially if you want to explore the coast roads, very much weather dependant but as with all of Wellington, when its nice it's very nice indeed.

    We needed a break from routine and this getaway was the perfect place - isolated and connected to the coast yet within easy reach. And the host was fantastic in getting us sorted. Highly recommended - and we will be back for sure!

    Perfect getaway

    This is such a special place, thank you to the hosts for sharing! The bach has everything that we needed for a cosy weekend getaway, even extra firewood was provided when we mentioned we were looking forward to sitting by the fire and watching the ocean. We have already recommended this place to friends and will likely be back again. Thanks for having us!

    We loved it. Wonderful cosy batch. We enjoyed the 30 minute mountain bike ride to the batch

    I would definitely recommend this batch. They even have three cute hot water bottles should you feel the need, but we were super warm. Sitting on the deck in the evening watching the sunset was a highlight

    Great Little Bach

    The bach was everything it said it would be - we cut our trip a day early due to the weather and were concerned with the road on departure but all went OK....cushions on seats inside would be wonderful for these ol bums!! Definately will stay again - :)

    A slice of paradise

    Staying in this off-grid cabin on Wellington’s rugged south coast was the perfect escape. Completely isolated, yet equipped with everything you need and nothing you don’t, it offered a rare chance to truly disconnect and unwind. The location is absolutely stunning—wild coastline, dramatic views, and total peace and quiet. The host was friendly, responsive, and made everything easy from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to recharge in nature without sacrificing comfort.

    Absolute ocean front

    A very unique place. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best, but did get a walk round the bay. Loved watching the ferries go by, the rugged coastline and feeling like your away from it all....could have stayed longer. Thanks again Andrea and Alex

    Wild and beautiful cabin

    This is our third visit. Need I say more? Love arriving to the snug cottage and firing up the gas, kettle whistling for that welcome cuppa and settling in with a book on the veranda. Then a lovely walk to see the seals and beautiful seaweed creations washed up by each tides. Restores the soul.

    A magical place to stay and getaway from the traps of modern life. The cabin was clean and tidy we had everything we needed. The location is amazing, looking out onto the ocean felt like we were alone it was wonderful, peaceful, restful. Good for the mind, body and soul. The sea lions were the icing on the cake. Thank you xx

    Beautiful bach/fantastic location

    We got really lucky with beautiful still weather and visiting during a time that the beach road was closed to anyone but residents. The bach was comfortable and so nicely decorated. We thought it was a little on the expensive side considering you had to clean and pack out your rubbish at the end of the stay, but the hosts were lovely. They came down to help immediately when there was a problem with the water flow and sorted it without any fuss. Brilliant stay, we will be back!
