Amazing property in fantastic surrounds. Beautiful crafted, open plan home.Absolutely stunning views in a great small costal village. We had the best Matariki get away. Cheers
We had the best time, our 2 dogs loved being there, they could run for ages on the beach, and it'll be even better when you put up the fence at the back. Definitely be back when thats up. Prime location where you can watch the sunset Thanks Catherine can and see the sunset.
Was a great stay accommodation was excellent we had 2 dogs and the surrounding countryside was peaceful and relaxing great for all concerned. Would recommend staying there any time had a great time. Paul

The moment we stepped in the door, we were blown away by the cleanliness, the use of space, and the incredible shower (with the shower head being nick-named Godzilla by us). The view was the most amazing welcome, closely followed by discovering the local treats in the fridge. Far enough, yet not too far from Raglan, meant that we could enjoy the great local coffee and then escape the crowds by driving back along gravel roads (along the coast and around Mt Karioi).It was the perfect location for a quiet weekend for us (after dropping the teenagers to Sound Splash)- from reading on the couch, in between wee jaunts out, through to hot chocolates (with the local milk) under the stars on the deck. Whether you are wanting to hide away from the crowds (yet go and grab a coffee) for a couple of days, or somewhere relaxing to head back to after a day of swimming, surfing, or meandering around the coast, we cannot recommend Sue and John’s place enough.
From the moment we drove in Kawhia bay and stepped onto the balcony we were in heavon! The Bach had everything we needed, we were able to bbq every night, the kitchen was well equipped, large fridge to stock our food and drinks (note there are no local shops so you need to bring what you need - closet general store is 15 min drive). Bed was super comfy and the open kitchen and living area that opened on to balcony looking over the bay was fantastic. The large dining table was great to not only eat but play the ton of games they had there, which was great fun. We will absolutely be back again. Thank you for an amazing stay and great communication with us that made everything so easy.
Loved the area, the water and the view. Water is only a walk away and you can swim all day long if you wanted to. House was easy to find, check in was also easy. The bach was lovely had everything you need. definitely go back
The house is clean and tidy. All basic needs are provided for. Great bathroom and kitchen. Everything is great.
The property is a perfect place for when you need to get away and switch off from the noises of the city. The big fenced grassed ground is perfect for our dog to run around, she loves it.
Did I mention that the host, Annette, was amazing.
Highly recommended!
