Amazing view & minutes from the beach

From the moment we drove through the gates we knew we were going to have an amazing stay. No detail has been spared on this property, we appreciated all the design aspects of the bach, inside & out. The photos do not do it justice! We had an amazing stay and would love to come back in the summer. Thank you Maxine & Jon for sharing your wonderful bach with us. .

Didnt want to leave!

This is a perfect piece of paradise. All you need is to stock up on food and drink before you leave Auckland, everything else is provided. The views, sun, privacy and quiet in this beautifully updated bach nestled amoungst stunning old pohutakawa trees makes you feel relaxed from the moment you drive through the gate. We feel so lucky to have stayed here, thank you Maxine and Jon. We will be back!

Nostalgia

Return after 50 years finds the majestic lion as great as it was back in the 60s. Our stay short as it was was so enjoyable. The property as a whole was just perfect. The pohutukawa ,ti kouka, kowhai and palms were beautiful and property was quite magical. Family members came to view the place. Exploring and following the paths was a great hit. Inside the Bach was perfection. A Bach still with the old blends with the new. The view of the beach from windows snd decks was quite superb. It had everything one could wish for in accommodation. Maxine it was great to have you check in to see if all was well we appreciated that so Thankyou. We will be back.

Second holiday at the Piha bach and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Great private location, retro refurbished house, fantastic views, great layout inside, beautiful native gardens and more. Only downside is we had to leave.

Wow

We were blown away by the property. It far exceeded our expectations. What would likely have been an old Bach, has been transformed into a well loved holiday home. The views over Piha beach are amazing. We loved sitting in the deck and watching the surf roll in. Communication with the owners was fabulous. They left easy to follow instructions and were very responsive to emails. Great stay. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect Piha Bach

Everything about this Bach is 'spot on'; the elevated location a couple of minutes from the beach, stunning ocean view, lovely bush setting, beautifully renovated & decorated Bach retaining it's original charm, and plush beds and lounge furniture. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - thank you!!!

Peace and privacy by the beach

An immaculate, thoughtful renovation and the perfect place for a romantic get away, relaxing right in front of Piha's magnificent beach. Comfortable and stylish, every little detail has been thought of. The cottage is set amongst the trees and not a single house is visible in the view off the deck, just the pristine breakers, surfers and the most amazing sunsets. Only a 5 min walk to the water. The outdoor shower is brilliant; such a treat. Highly recommended, thank you to the owners for sharing it, we will be back!

Delightful

The house is snuggled behind ancient Pohutukaws trees with a huge deck and panoramic view of the sea and surrounding hills, without another house in sight. The house is immaculately renovated in a modern take on retro 30s Bach with all the modern comforts but retaining or echoing original features. The bach has everything you coujd need plus thoughtful extra like insect screens and a fantastic hot outdoor shower. The landscaping using beautiful natural boulders blends seamlessly with the surrounding bush ans us full of native plants. Everything is comfortable, fresh and new feeling and the artwork snd vintage decor add colour and personality. We were totally smitten!

Complete Bliss

The property is styled to perfection and Jon/Maxine were more than accomodating allowing us to check out an hour later for our baby’s sleep routine. The house is tucked away perfectly in the some beautiful bushes, feels like you’re living right in the heart of Piha nature. The beach is much closer than the view suggests, literally 2min walk! Highly recommend for any romantic getaway with your loved one…
