Well kept gardens are fantastic for children and the pohutakwa tree is idyllically positioned to appreciate.
Within a few minutes drive is Saliors Grave Beach and Otara Bay. Further on to the famous Hot Water Beach/Cathederal Cove, only a 20 minute drive.

Hello, and thank you for your comments. The wild bird life is wonderful at all different times of the year, due to the bird reserve directly behind the Bach. Hopefully you saw the two quail families with their 14 babies and the wild pheasants Tui in abundance are around in spring darting everywhere, enjoying the flax bushes. Thank you. 😀�

Thanks, for your wonderful comments. Our Bach is in a fabulous location, right in the middle of the ocean beach, only a short stroll over the sand dunes. We take a lot of pride in our gardens. 🌺

Perfect stay!

The Bach was just what our family needed for a few days to unwind after travelling from Australia. We loved the beach just across the road, the yard was a big hit with the kids too. The Fire place was lovely to take the chill off the air. The place was comfortable and homely and great location to explore the Coromandel. Thanks for the great stay!

A true NZ bach, with most of the essentials and in a lovely location, a short hop to the beach. It was comfortable, and our wee dog loved cooling off in the stream out back.

Thank you for a lovely stay. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest to enjoy the amazing locality to the beach, which was such a close walk. The house had everything we needed and more! Would love to stay again in nicer weather :) Thanks again Rosemary

Wonderful that you enjoyed your stay. We are very lucky to have the privacy as our back yard back onto a bird reserve, fortunately our dogs stay within our property boundries. Always good when its just a 'hop skip and jump' over to the beach. (2mins).

Loved the location the beach is a 5 minute or less walk. Loved the home. Everything was wonderful. Only suggestion would be to get a few new pans. They are pretty bad but that is the only negative thing I can say. Loved staying there.

A Restful Retreat

We had a lovely quiet few days in a great location, close to the ocean beach and listening to the birds. The bach is as described and was very clean and tidy. Comfortable and warm beds, the fireplace and heater were good with the cold weather. Suited our family and dog well. Thanks

Brilliant that you enjoyed the location and all that our bach has to offer. Winter beach walking is always wonderful when theres a warm log fire burning back at the bach for your return. Happy days!
