      Everything we hoped for in our Taranaki get-away
      A perfect spot from which to enjoy the beach, have adventures around the Taranaki region or simply hang-out at "home". There was everything we needed for our family of five, with a range of ages and requirements, to have a relaxing and comfortable holiday. Thank you for making it so easy and for the friendly communications. We hope to return soon!

      Planning our next stay already!
      We came to Oakura for a surf trip and the house is perfectly located along great breaks. The property is beautiful and spacious with a big yard and comfortably slept a group of 7. We ate at the Butlers Reef and Black Sand Pizzeria while here and highly recommend. The only downfall to the stay was that the shower temperature is quite finicky but that was minor in the grand scheme of things. Overall we loved our stay and will be returning in the future.

      Great location
      Bach had everything required for a good stay for family, but only problem that it had no fan or aircon for a summer stay. Made it hard to sleep at nights. Cobwebs around the house, so not as clean as it should be, and ants also. Great outdoor yard for kids to play and a great place to sit outside.
