About this property
Escape to your own Hidden Valley and Secluded Beach on the Beautiful West Coast!
Get back to simple off-the-grid living and detox from your hectic lifestyle of work & family commitments.
Relax on the deck with a book and listen to the ocean or watch the wild goats graze on the other side of the valley.
This cosy bach has everything you need to make your stay a holiday to remember!
With your power from a diesel generator this unique off-the-grid experience still brings you the luxury of hot water and cooking with gas.
You can enjoy a cool beer while using the BBQ on the deck overlooking the ocean.
The bach has 2 bedrooms with Queen size beds and a single mattress each and there is a fold down couch in the living area. A large dining table seats 8 people or maybe you will prefer to use the breakfast bar.
A log fire will keep you warm and cosy on those colder nights.
The bach comfortably sleeps 8 but please enquire if you have a larger family. The base rate is for up to 6 people then it's $25 per person, per night for extras.

About the host
Hosted by Paula Holmes
We are a farming family with 2 young children and when we aren't working we love to get to the bach and beach and enjoy the tranquil setting and also try a spot of fishing.
Why they chose this property
It is as peaceful as you want it to be. A true way to escape from your phone & commitments for a while and forget about stress. Enjoy the seaview from the deck or watch the resident wildlife in the valley. A great beach for a long walk or a spot of fishing. Rock pools for the kids to play in and crabs to hunt for.
