Property was perfect. Close to the beach. Close to camp ground where we had friends staying. Easy to check in and great communication from owners. Super clean and had everything we needed.
Nice easy place to stay, loved the upstairs bedroom, great view for the night stars, warm & comfy & so nice that it backs onto tahunanui campground, dog's loved it. Thankyou
It is just as the photos show. Small compact and comfortable. Back yard was fantastic for the pooch and he loved walking to the beach. Very quiet and peaceful.
Property was exactly as advertised. Great location close to the beach and with a fenced back yard it was a great place to take our dog. Well equipped and comfortable bed. Certainly appreciate pet friendly accommodation. Communications were easy.
The property was very comfortable and generally met our needs.
The shower was a little cramped and shower head kept flipping down. We weren't able to tighten the fitting.
The narrow drive and tight turning circle into carport necessitated backing in or out for larger vehicle.
Lovely property however the house needs a thorough clean as quite dusty, carpet needs a deep clean. We couldn't use the BBQ as still had food remnants on the plates.
Perfect place for myself and dogs. So handy to beach and close to everything else. Will definitely be back again.

Good location, tidy house
The bed arrangement was different to what was in the house description which created some issues to us (there are no bunk beds). The house is very small and isnt really equipment for the amount of people it can sleep. Even cooking for 4 people and eating inside required some adjustments.
Overall very good location, super close to the beach, nice beds and tidy house. Its more of a "sleep only, spend all your time outside - kinda house".

It was an pleasure hosting Niamh and his family in our Bach. They were such a lovely family who left the place tidy and were very considerate of our house rules. We would highly recommend them to any future hosts and would happily welcome them back anytime!

Tidy, all the little touches Count!
This Bach you noticed all the small things that the owner put out for you like tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, washing powder etc.
Kitchen was well equipped and the stove and oven are just as good as what we use at home!
Made cooking a breeze.
The two things that could have been better was the cleanliness of the shower floor, you could see the dirt on it and would scratch off.
And would be good if the door of the upstairs bedroom closed/ door handle worked.
Apart from that we will stay again!
They cater for animals too!
Also a kayak in the back yard and a paddle in the hot water cupboard!
Thanks a lot
We really enjoyed our stay!

This is a great location with the beach and park within walking distance.
This is a great location with the beach and park within walking distance. We loved being in Nelson. This property was great for the kids, the kitchen was well equipped, it was a bonus having a washing machine. It was great to watch the sunset while sitting on the deck in the evening.
