About the host

Hosted by Liz Keene

Host profile image
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.
