Cosy and Close
Our third time to visit, hopefully WIFI will be added to the property. The neighbours dog was bold, making its way throught the back door to pull out the garbage. He wasn't deterred when shooed away, the owner heard me and took control of the dog

Kawhia House
To be honest, compared to the other 3 places we stayed on our 2 week holiday on the north island of NZ, I found it was over priced by 30-50% for the property condition, amenities, and location. (location would be good, if you like fishing) The host was very nice and helpful, but the house for the money needs updating, or renting price needs to be reduced

Great back for a weekend getaway
We loved our stay in Kawhia. The bach is in a great location, within walking distance to the shops and cafes as well as the boat ramp. There is loads of off street parking with enough room for the boat. We had everything we needed and Patsy just a phone call away. Thank you!

Kawhia Fishing
A lovely Bach which suited our needs. Internet access would have been helpful as we spent a lot of our holiday indoors due to inclement weather. A pity we couldn't get out fishing due to the atrocious weather. Looking forward to our next holiday staying here.
