Views to die for!
We absolutely loved our 9 days here and can only describe the setting as sublime. The peace and tranquility is unreal- beautiful birdsong etc. excellent location and super comfy bed in main bedroom. It’s a Bach but had everything we could possibly need! Thank you for a wonderful stay, Michelle and mike

Amazing views
Photos pretty much sums it up. Average kiwi Bach. Nothing fancy but has everything you need. Amazing views. It didn't mention that the upstairs room wasn't accessible from the inside but apart from that a nice layout. Had a few issues with power outage but that wasn't the property managers fault, just one of those things. When I rung her she sent someone straight away to help. Great host. A great place if you just want to relax with breath taking views.

Summertime relaxing
2 of the bedrooms had a married couple sleep in them. The larger bunk room upstairs was the 3rd bedroom and two females had a bed each there.Not suitable for another couple as it was an open share room. Very pleasant though.Other couple used a tent comfortably. It was warm. It was comfortable. We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing stay.The bathroom was small but we managed.

Quintessential Kiwi Bache
This is a quintessential kiwi bache, in a very unique and beautiful part of the world.The setting is superb looking out over the water. Because of its remoteness it is so quiet and tranquil, a place to truly get away from it all.While it is no frills, you don’t want for anything else in this setting. And the owner was only too willing to help where she could.

Great old school beach bach holiday experience in an awesome part of the country. We spent all our time out on the water fishing, exploring in the rocks and discovering isolated bays. Thanks for the awesome stay!

We all had a super time. It might pay to alert people enquiring that the upstairs bedroom is only accessible from the outside. Due to the rain the steps and deck were very slippery. Just a suggestion, otherwise an excellent few days. Absolutely love the area
