Beautiful location

Our family of four plus Jack Russell dog really enjoyed our stay. Great location just a short walk to the beach. The Bach was cosey and the kids enjoyed staying in the outside cabins. Also a lovely spot for just chillin in the sun on the patio. We will be keen to stay again.

Amazing views of Opito - great location!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come and stay again. With outstanding views of Opito and only a 2 minute walk down to the beach, it’s an amazing location! Lee, owner, was amazing to deal with. The property is a “all in one” type accommodation, which makes it tricky with littles ones, so for us it’s more suited for a shorter stay... We look forward to returning again in Summer!!

Awesome family bach

It's not easy to have a relaxing family holiday with 3 kids 7 and under, but this bach made it possible. Great location, well equipped kitchenette, nicely presented but not full of antique vases for the kids to break. Thank you so much for having us, we hope to be back again soon.

Everything you need, and nothing you don’t!

Absolutely loved our stay here! It was perfect for 5 adults, we brought a couple of air beds with us, as well as linen and towels. We loved waking up to the incredible view of Opito Bay in the morning. Short walk to the beach and the northern walking trails. Clever hot water system means all 5 of us could shower without any bother. Kitchenette was well stocked with utensils, 2x hot plates for cooking, decent sized mini fridge. Water from the tap was fine to drink. My friends and I highly recommend this wonderful batch! Will definitely stay again. Thanks to the owners for having us.

Very tidy, clean and just a short walk from the beach.

It is clear the the owners have done a great job and the place will develop and get even better. The red soil is not a friend of white shoes, nor with wet weather. It will be great when a guest can walk from the car and access the building without have to walk in the mud. The interior is really spacious. Whilst it is a garage, the colors and furnishings make it really comfortable. It is advisable to take all linen including duvet and pillows and towels. Personally, I like the idea of what you bring you take away, just be mindful what you take in terms of food as all waste you have to take with you when you leave. I wished I had a few containers and a chilli-bin. Once you get there you will want to stay a few days. A weekend was just not enough!
