We really enjoyed the stay! The house was clean and very comfortable. Beautiful garden which was great for bird watching. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. There were fewer kitchen staples than we expected (e.g sugar and oil).

The guests were very responsive to communicate with and they left the bach in a very clean and tidy state. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. In future we will make it clearer that we do not provide food staples for guests.
Wonderful, wonderful property!
Location is absolutely divine, close to a number of beaches and local amenities.
The property itself was clean, spacious, and contained everything you needed for a comfortable stay.

Great bach, the curtained off area of the lounge came in very handy! Decent outside spaces at front and back of bach. Perfect location, walkable to beaches and short drive away from other incredible beaches. Perfect place for us to celebrate Christmas.

Superbly located comfortable bach on the Karikari Peninsula
We loved Perehipe Getaway! A comfortable and spacious bach with everything we needed for our week on the Karikari Peninsula. Close to all the local beaches we found the bach to be a great place to base ourselves and enjoy the great local things on offer. Nice and tidy with everything that you need for a holiday in the far north. Highly recommended.

Lovely spot with tracks nearby down to a small semi-private cove.
Lovely spot with tracks nearby down to a small semi-private cove. We found the house more spacious than the photos suggest; very fresh and clean and well set up for family group. Great spot to use as a base for exploring the whole Kari kari peninsula. Recommend!!

Very comfortable, tidy, clean house.
Very comfortable, tidy, clean house. Freshly painted, clean bathrooms, comfortable beds and furniture. Unfortunately the fridge wasn't working the best for us. Everything else was great. Nice and roomy for a family. Easy boat parking. Thank you for letting us stay.
