Lovely. Just lovely.
Right by a peaceful forest & 5 mins walk from the beach. Fruit trees in the fenced garden. We stayed in winter/spring and had a roaring fire and a very relaxing stay. Lovely place to get away for a few days and recharge.

We’ve stayed here a few times now and always love it. Added bonuses with amazing fire, and a heap of citrus trees laden with fruit. Thanks again for another brilliant stay.

The property is located by the beach, Forrest and walking tracks. It is a lovely warm comfortable home with a very secure large back yard which is just perfect for a dog. Would highly recommend 😊

The perfect Bach!
We loved this place so much! It was like the perfect classic kiwi Bach but with modern comforts and plenty of space so it didn’t feel too much like being in the 1960s. The big, fully fenced garden was great for keeping our dog and toddler contained and entertained! The bathroom was great. The kitchen was really functional (so great having a dishwasher). The giant couch was big enough for our leggy bunch. The location next to the forest reserve is really peaceful and beautiful. Loved the walk through the dunes to the beach but we warned it is quite long! A bit much for our littlest. We will be trying to come back for another stay next summer!

Family Reunion
This was a fantastic place for families as plenty of room outside and also the reserve and forest next door which the children just loved. If you need more accommodation then directly across the road is another bookabatch the we also used. So having two houses in walking distance was amazing.

We loved the quiet location with access to beach & forest. (Our dogs loved it too!) Nothing fancy about the house, but had everything we needed, and it felt like a well-loved Bach.

A very comfortable home with an enclosed garden as promised but not always realised! Thoughtful layout with space for dogs outside and in covered porch. Good layout, with space to eat as a group... not often provided.

Beach getaway
Very comfortable and quite roomy for even a large group. Everything needed in a normal home is supplied in good quantities and we were able to start our break straight away and replace supplies before we left. Really enjoyed the forest walks and would be great with a bike. Easy access to three great beaches (Foxton, Waitarere and Himatanga).
