This is our second stay here. The bach is amazing, very clean and comfortable. Being able to take our 2 dogs was perfect, all fenced in. The weather was perfect, very calm and warm for a winters break. Beach so close. Star watching stunning as were the sunrises. Thank you so much we definitely will be back.

The property is a good size bach located right by the beach. It had everything we needed and enough space that we didn't feel cramped when it rained all day!

The Bach is in a divine position and walking down directly into the beach was wonderful. It is a Kiwi Bach not a plush hotel but it is clean, well equipped, and a step above many with furnishings , bedding and everything you need. We were just three but it takes nine I think and there is plenty of room for a family party with great decking and views of the sea.
