Beautiful property with a great view Amazing beach down below which is either a 10minute walk down the road or 5 mins down the very steep track.Saw a pod of dolphins come across in front of the island from the deck which was amazing
Nice, basic, kiwi bach. Comfortable, had everything we needed. Amazing views. 2 min drive to Moureeses Bay which is just stunning. The manager was very communicative and also helped us get an overnight mooring for our boat which was a bonus.
Lovely outlook and views and very peaceful and private. A long walk to the beach for small children but otherwise great position. Great open plan lounge/kitchen dining area with everything we needed. A really nice place for our large family group.
very private bach on a safe clifftop site with fabulous coastal views and small beach immediately below. Bach very clean, simple layout with a deck etc has everything you need for a quiet escape and nothing you dont. Track to wee beach immediately below the property is very steep; but easy drive of a few minutes to another couple of quiet beaches. Best for adults and older children.
Lovely, private bach with everything we needed. Great view over the water. The highlight was the private beach where we spent lots of time - it was a good workout getting up and down the steep track each day! It worked particularly well for us because we took our dog and were limited in terms of where else we could take him due to the local restrictions. The area is great for kayaking and snorkelling so we had a very active holiday.
A comfortable cottage with fabulous views with an easy 10 min. walk to Moureeses Beach and back. The tracks were not for us as they are quite challenging due to the slope .but we did try them once. There are ropes to hehelp youhelp you
Lovely views and very comfortable bach. My main complaint is the access drive up to the bach was in a very poor state so we had to leave halfway through our stay as heavy rain was forecast that would have made it impossible to use without a 4wd. We were a bit disappointed we hadn't been warned beforehand.
Incredible views that can be enjoyed in good weather and bad. The house was just perfect for a bach. Loved the layout of a large bunk room and then seperate double room. For a 2 bedroom house it was surprisingly big and spacious.
The setting is astounding! Perched on a peninsula, overlooking an amazing piece of Northland coastline. There is a track (a little steep, but doable) down to a secluded beach that was made for skinny dipping (I dare you to). We didn't want to leave.
Had a beautiful weekend away my partner. Views were epic, cool bush walk and stunning beach. House was good, unfortunately we found fungus growing in master bedroom so we slept in the lounge once we cleaned it. A few spider webs and dust in kitchen and shower was very weak. Apart from those it was a great stay and will still come back.
Perfect hideaway for peace and quiet. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. The cosy fire was a fab bonus for our mid winter break. The view out to sea are stunning.
Such a magical getaway!! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Fiona's bach!!
Wow!!! What a beautiful place!! The photo's really don't do it justice!!
We can't recommend this bach enough.. If you're looking for a private getaway with sensational views.. This is it!!! A++
The property was so much better than I had expected. We arrived at the house and we had to double check photos to make sure it was the right one. They repainted the house and rebuilt the deck. No doubt, worth every dollar
