Great spot

The location is fantastic. We found it a bit overpriced and were surprised that price changes depending on the guests. Normally you rent the property regardless (within the limit of the max occupants) The host was really helpful and accommodating (we were not charged for the sheets we forgot to bring)

Stunning spot!

What an idyllic spot! We arrived with 2 kids under 5 and a dog and it was just prefect! Bach is rustic enough that you are comfortable without having to worry, and location is great for anyone with kids! Literally 2mins walk to the beach - so multiple trips up and down in a day when you need a break is so easy! Plenty to explore with crayfish bay, the PA and other bays. Hosts generously supplied Kayaks also for even more exploring. Hosts home is just in front so accessible if you require anything but leaves you to get on and enjoy the space without interruption. Highly recommend and we will be back! Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Liz Keene

We have been staying in this little bach for 26 years, winter and summer. Travelling down from Auckland most weekends. Because it's worth it!

Why they chose this property

It's a fabulous place to get away from the rat race. You forget the real world exists out there with all it's problems and stresses. We have now built a second dwelling on the property and are 'livin' the dream' permanently. This is why the little bach has become available for you to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

It is completely self contained on the rear of the section, with it's own beach hut bar for your afternoon happy hour. Directly over the back fence is a Council trailer park where you can park your boat and any extra cars.
