Reasonably priced for what it was, basic & standard. Needed a spring clean and tidy up in the garden. Was not as quiet as I thought it would be. Good views.

A gem!
A lovely tidy, modern and cared for little bach with everything you need for a getaway. Gorgeous views of the bay and stunning sunsets to be enjoyed from the deck. Close stroll to an inviting beach away from the crowds - this bay is a gem! Owners were super friendly (as was their lovely cat). Definitely keen to visit again - thank you for a wonderful few days escape!

Happy Anniversary To Us
A fantastic 3 day get away at Queen's Birthday Weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We loved walking on the beach before the rain set in. A trip to Whitianga up and around the Peninsula to visit friends and into Thames a few times for the Saturday market and dinner. The bach was clean and tidy, easy to heat when it got cold and had everything we needed. Knowing that it did not have full cooking facilities wasn't a problem, as we planned for this. Towels and bedding being provided was a bonus too. Lovely host - John welcomed us and gave us tips and information of what we could do during our stay. Loved the nature and the native birds singing to us in the morning, even though it was raining. Would recommend this bach to stay at. :)
