Never again
Broken window in the kitchen no cover has huge hole, no firewood in the middle of winter and nowhere to buy it in town with no other source of heating. The linen on the two queen beds was dirty and smelt like they had been slept in by dogs, there was no way we would use the fridge that was there it was disgusting and to top it off the main bedroom smelt like a cat had pee'ed in there the smell was overwhelming.... All in all highly disappointed for the price

Classic Kiwi bach
The bach is located in a very quiet street with a beautiful view of the mountain. The kids loved climbing in the Pōhutukawa tree and using the swings. The bach could do with a deep clean and fixing the shower but the owners have made a decent effort to put in new carpets, nice decor, good furniture and new appliances. Kawhia itself is a beautiful little town and we loved going down to Hot water beach.

Dog friendly
Cosy, cheap and cheerful. Walking distance to beach and town. No internet or tv which is what we wanted, as we spent time together playing board games and being out and about together as a family. Watched DVDs, and spent quality time together. Host was great, excellent communication, nice neighbours and vibe. The place has a few quirks typical of its age. We went there not expecting the Taj mahal and we got what we were after, a hassle free, place to stay close to the beach. An absolute bonus we could bring our dogs! No complaints here.

Classic kiwi bach
Great stay, great location, classic kiwi bach. Reason for 4 stars is that there was a miscommunication with owner, oven didn't work, shower was a bit hard to use. Over all we had a great time and had everything we needed

Very unhappy senior citizens
We went to Kawhia for a snapper fishing charter and to celebrate my 65th birthday, there were 4 adults my wife {65}, sister {66} brother {75} this property was selected because of the location and online of rating of 4.5, as we pulled in I knew from the outside first impressions issues strait away; OUTSIDE *Lawns unmowed, gardens a mess, rubbish around the outside of property. *The outside BBQ table unbrella was on the ground broken with nails poking out, lucky my grandchildren weren't there. *As we walked to front door my wife slipped, I caught her before she hit the ground, uneven and slippery walkway to door. INSIDE *Fridge no milk, broken trays on the bottom *Everything we had to cook in and eat off had to be washed first, because of filth. *The whole place needs a DEEP CLEAN *Bathroom shower door broken, no soap, shampoo, conditioner, towels and toilet rolls Summary you lucky to get a rating of 1 from us

A relaxing break
We were looking for a pet friendly break and got exactly what we were after. A great little bach in sleepy Kawhia. The hot water beach was great as were the takeaways at the wharf. A great relaxing stay and even better that the dog was welcome as well. A great escape!

Kawhia property
I think we were the first people to stay at this property, there were a few things that needed sorting out and the property manager was very responsive to that.
