Beachfront bliss

A quiet, private, comfortable older Bach with all you need to enjoy a relaxed stay. Plenty of outside decking and wonderful views of the bay. Great location for cycling and with local wineries at your doorstep. The hosts were great to deal with and well organised. Some generous extras were a welcome treat on arrival. Very happy and would love to come back again.

Fabulous seaside bach

Fabulous seaside bach fully equipped with all the essentials for a perfect home away from home, holiday break. Beds are comfy, house is clean, neighbourhood is quiet and relaxed. Coffee, tea, plus milk in the fridge was a lovely touch for our arrival late the afternoon, saved us rushing out. Plenty of kids equipment to keep them busy outside.

Perfect Kiwi Seafront Bach

Beachfront Retreat is the perfect house for a relaxed seaside break. On one windless day, I walked at low tide all the way to Clifton and back while being entertained by various seabirds fishing for breakfast. The kitchen is well set out (and up.) We dined in most nights. The home felt very welcoming the minute we walked in. Thank you, Alan!

Homely home by the sea

We had a lovely stay at Alan and Sue's place. The house definitely has a homely, 'lived in' feel, which we quite enjoyed. The wild ocean beach is just a few steps away but the deck was reasonably sheltered from the wind. The bedroom arrangements make it a great place for a couple + kids (only 1 double bed).
