This place had excellent views and great location right on the beach! But that was about all the property had going for it. Was run down and aged inside. The place needs a full renovation, or at the very least a complete replacement of all the furniture.

Second time we stayed. We just love the location, views and being able to bring the pooch. Bach was very clean but be aware you need to bring everything, no tea, oil or salt and pepper or any basics.

This kiwi bach is amazing – it's very comfortable and has everything you need for a great stay. The location is indeed stunning, you can’t get a better view. Fish & chips at the local shop is a must. We loved it here and will definitely be back (also great that we could bring our dog with us).

This place is a wonderful spot right on the beach. If the owner spent some on a few basic items to update things it would be a 5 star stay. She shower has a constant drip once the Mains are on. Also the toilet seat is very small compared to the actual toilet. And also the curtains need fixing, but they did warn us about those.

Epic spot in a traditional kiwi bach

Location couldnt be better. House needs a little love, especially the kitchen. Thankfully we read the comments and brought a lot of kitchen things with us. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect spot

Great little place, absolute perfect spot. Everything you need except a decent clothes line, and no washer or dryer. We got caught in a heavy downpour and got soaked and there was no way to dry our only warm clothes, and please fix those curtains, it wouldn't take much. Would stay here again.
