Great getaway

Great long weekend stay. Bach is perfect location, close walking distance to beach. Everything is in the house you could need for your stay. Only one thing I could suggest would be some fans for those hot summer nights - those bedrooms do get extremely hot! Thanks for the stay Cole!

Awesome kiwi bach

We loved this bach! It was so well laid out in terms of rooms and beds, eating/entertaining, relaxing and cooking spaces. The doors and windows open to create lovely cross breezes and everything is really comfortable. Very close to the beach. Cole was a great host and I would highly recommend this property.

Absolutely perfect!

We have just spent the weekend at Te Koha Batch and we didn’t want to leave! The homely feel and the whole peaceful aura of the property are very evident as soon as you step foot in the gate. Cole was so great to communicate with and our children have asked to come back again “all the time”. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Cole

Host profile image
I'm an ocean and mountain lover and Te Koha is my dream. I hope you have as many happy and memorable times there as I have.

Why they chose this property

It's so typically Kiwi and just like our people, it's humble, honest and opens its heart to you from the moment you arrive.
As part of my dream, for every night you stay, we gift a night to children who cannot afford this Kiwi iconic experience. That's why it's called Te Koha. Thank you for your contribution.

What makes this property unique

Everybody talks about the outside hot shower (we haven't used the inside one for 5 years), the outside fire to toast marshmallows and the 4 min walk to the beach. You decide :-)
