Great old school beach bach holiday experience in an awesome part of the country. We spent all our time out on the water fishing, exploring in the rocks and discovering isolated bays. Thanks for the awesome stay!

Views to die for!

We absolutely loved our 9 days here and can only describe the setting as sublime. The peace and tranquility is unreal- beautiful birdsong etc. excellent location and super comfy bed in main bedroom. It’s a Bach but had everything we could possibly need! Thank you for a wonderful stay, Michelle and mike

Quintessential Kiwi Bache

This is a quintessential kiwi bache, in a very unique and beautiful part of the world.The setting is superb looking out over the water. Because of its remoteness it is so quiet and tranquil, a place to truly get away from it all.While it is no frills, you don’t want for anything else in this setting. And the owner was only too willing to help where she could.
