Great communication, lovely batch with everything you need. Right opposite the beach, close to Rings Beach walking track and Matarangi golf course as well as various other attractions. We are looking to return in the future.
It was the perfect gate away for our family. Simple Bach and caravans but with everything you need. We liked the live in feel where we know families have been using it for a long time. The location is fantastic , just across this beautiful beach and we were allowed to bring our Labrador who enjoyed the holiday as well. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise.
This batch is in a beautiful location, Ross the host is great to communicate with and very accommodating.We booked for what turned out to be the worse week of summer weather wise and were at the batch as every area of the coromandel- North Island seemed to become isolated and flooded. Pleased to say despite flooding around the grass areas and being at a low point, this batch and surrounding area has great drainage, and inside we were nice and dry.The 2 caravans are awesome, the outside bathroom is great.The deck was amazing, and even our dog loved her stay.If you are looking for a kiwi batch with everything you need, a bit of a campground feel, and great neighbors this is it. Will definitely return to hopefully spend a week in the sunshine next time
Such a great place to stay, beautiful beach and nice little bach. Highly recommend. The only downside there was so many ants, they were coming out of the couch
This is the perfect Bach in an amazing location. Rings Beach is idyllic. Really well equipped and comfortable. Deck area was awesome for shade on really hot days and meant we could still sit out when warm but raining.
Great spot an slice of kiwiana paradise.
Good old kiwi Bach ..

Rings beach stay
We stayed for a week and will certainly stay again. No major issues only they appear to lack cleaners. We did the best we could but this did not distract from the overall stay. Good neighbours everyone seemed to know each other. Overall a lovely area and to be recommended.
A quintessential bach from my childhood. Clean, tidy and everything that you need. Lovely to spend time with our children and grandchild, simply enjoying the beach, swimming, fishing and meals around the big outdoor table. Rings Beach is an unspoiled, unpretentious, slice of New Zealand. May it long stay that way.

Christmas stay
Great location across road from beach - access is via a restricted access shingle road for short distance, we thought we had gone too far! House was a little untidy but we had a fantastic stay, with the shared section to ourselves. ☺️

Alright stay
The property had the basic necessities we needed and was in a great location. However the oven didn’t work (stovetop was fine) and the cleanliness of the property was a let down considering there is a cleaning fee charged when booking. Also bring antihistamines if you are prone to hayfever.
The bach itself was nice and cozy, nice new deck built out the front. Awesome location. Wouldn't recommend staying in the caravans in winter though. Heaps of DVDs and games for a rainy day, the Xbox was fun too. Only thing is that if you're going in winter don't park where the listing says to park. We got stuck in the mud lol
Typical bach - nothing fancy but good facilities, great location by a safe, quiet beach. Heaps of games etc. for when the sun was too hot.
The section did become pretty crowded with host's wider family over the weekend we were there. Nice people who didn't get in the way, but some of the privacy was lost.
Had a great time and I'd love to go back
A typical kiwi Bach in a slice of heaven. This little place is perfect for that relaxed getaway. Family fished and kayaked to their hearts content. Some good pan sized snapper caught. Everyone loved this place, will be back.
