Weekend getaway

A beautiful, spotlessly clean property with an amazing view. It met all of the family expectations with garden for the kids to play in, and a great deck with view over Piha. Suzy was great to deal with. The bbq did look like it hadn’t been used for a while so we gave that a miss otherwise it had everything we needed to make it a perfect relaxing few days away. Thank you so much. We’ll be back for sure.

Views to die for

Fantastic home and view. Plenty of room for the family to relax. The owner was extremely helpful with excellent communication and comprehensive instructions. We made the mistake of taking our high top van which did not fit under overhanging pohutukawa on the driveway so had to park on the roadside and carry everything up a very steep driveway. We had a wonderful weekend and would highly recommend this property to others.

Awesome

Great property over looking the Manukau Heads. Even though the weather wasn't great it was a lovely place to hunker down and enjoy the peace.

Lovely modern home

Lovely modern home. Very clean with spa tub & sauna. A couple of minor issues were fixed immediately with excellent communication from Ben. Early check in & late check out were offered.

Couldn't be any better

We had to find temporary accommodation while house repairs were being done, and we were so lucky to find Craig and Megan with their pristine bach. While we weren't on holiday and still had work and school drop offs, we couldn't have picked a more suitable residence. The bach has literally everything you need and more. From USB wall outlets, to blazingly fast WiFi speeds, and super comfortable beds we felt right at home. While also being able to wake up to incredible ocean views that made you think maybe there really is a God, right on our doorstep too! We had our own privacy right from day one. Craig and Megan would periodically text us making sure everything was perfect for our stay. 10/10 hosts. If you're gonna book a bach, book this one. Be it for a holiday kayaking on the ocean, or a working holiday to escape the city. It's worth every penny.
