A relaxing stay

The house had everything we needed and we were surprised how big and roomy it was. Beautiful views over the Sound from a nice big front deck. It was very quiet and relaxing with just the sound of bird song.

Stunning location

We had an amazing holiday, thanks Narisa! The bach is great, has everything you need and we had no trouble going in via water taxi due to the road closures. A bit of a walk up the hill with our gear but nothing too difficult and well worth the adventure.

Clean and well equipped. I enjoyed the Mt Cawte walk right on the doorstep, whilst my partner loved the jetty for fishing. The fireplace was well appreciated as very cold weather.

Slice of paradise in the Sounds

We had an awesome stay at Narisa’s bach. The place was well equipped with all we needed for a fantastic holiday. The place was comfortable and had the most beautiful views. The kids loved the games, spa and kayaks. Narisa was excellent to deal with, accommodating with all our requests and really helpful with info. We’d love to come back again.
