Lindas house was an amazing spot for a fun and relaxing family holiday. The property had evetything we needed and was really comfortable. I would 100% recommend this as a holiday rental!
Amazing spot, short walk to the estuary and most beautiful part of the beach. lovely well renovated home, the house had everything you could need, even a hot outdoor shower, lovely fenced section, great for kids.
Tidy house. Great bach vibe. it rained multiple days however spoilt with the view from the front window. Lots of space for the little one to wriggle around.
Awesome location, nice clean and tidy property, although we never really got to see it in the daylight. The smoke alarm malfunctioned twice one night (11pm and 2am), and then the alarm also started beeping also, so we didn't get much sleep...(not great when we had to be up to 5am to go fishing). Only other comment is the house was very hot from being closed up all day, so air conditioning is needed in the summer in our opinion.

We are glad you enjoyed our clean and tidy property in a great location, enjoying all day sun. (If you open a couple of the windows while you are out that are too high to be accessed then this will allow great ventilation, no need for aircon at all). It was unfortunate for you that there was a power outage overnight causing the beeping, if you push the TRB button, this will silence the beep. Thanks again for choosing our place to stay
Everything was as Linda described. Even getting the water pump fixed within hours of phoning her. Best position of all our 7 holiday homes we visited on our Northland tour.
Thank Linda.

About the host
Hosted by Linda
Our bach is owned by a twin brother and sister and their families. We are continually upgrading and improving the facilities as kiwis do with their kiwi baches.
Why they chose this property
A wonderful location; the closest bach to the beach with the best view and all the mod cons.
What makes this property unique
Expansive sea views from most rooms of the house and all day sun. Lots of room for the children to play and the reserve out the front for backyard cricket
