Had an awesome 3 weeks at this lovely, comfy bach by the sea. Everything there that we could possibly want for a restful, relaxing stay - the house is very well equipped. Excellent comms with hosts who were super helpful and kind. Followed the "beach rules" points made on the sign outside the door (see attached photo) - these were all great! Would love to stay again sometime.

Right at home by the beach

A lovely, well appointed beach bach. A minute walk to the beautiful beach. Very nice that there were pantry staples for us to use. The kids were missing our cat so the friendly local was a lovely surprise.

Fantastic bach

The bach was the perfect place for our family getaway. So close to the beach, lovely atmosphere. There is everything you might need, from the kitchen bits to the games and the bikes in the shed. Heaps of space outside for our little guy to run around and enough space inside that even the rainy days were nice. Definitely planning on coming back here.

A home away from home

Such a comfortable, homely, spacious and tranquil place to be. Beds, chairs, sofas all comfy. Surprisingly well equipped kitchen and a full pantry, plus tons of toys that kept our children entertained for hours. Great location close to everything, and we couldn't find any fault with this accommodation. Yes the loo is a little close to its door (as others have mentioned) but that didn't bother us. We would definitely recommend this charming bach.

We went to a conference in Paraparaumu Tue,Wed,Thurs and went home Fri 5am back to Whangarei. The only thing that was weird was the toilet door was right there when you sat down. right in front of you as were not used to that.

Book a bach app is faulty or hosts don’t exist. Booked, paid could see property on app, realised night before no info on how to get in received. Rang contact # had to leave message that we need info to key or code to get in. Drove Auckland to Wellington. Rang # in morning & afternoon, still having to leave messages we can’t get in. Had to pay & stay in motel instead. Got 1st email from hosts 3 weeks after stay, click on link to open message, won’t open, can’t read any messages. Again not sure if app faulty or hosts are scam.
