BACH 188  ON THE BEACH

BACH 188 ON THE BEACH

10/10 Excellent
"Good call — here’s the same review cleaned up so it reads completely natural and human:⸻ – Perfect, practical beach base (great for dogs and boats)Dad, my Labrador Millie, and I stayed here for 5 nights and it was exactly what we were after.It’s not overly posh, just a comfortable, well set up bach with everything you need. The fully fenced section was ideal for Millie and also gave us plenty of room for the boat and car, which made things really easy.The location is fantastic and very close to the beach, which is stunning and great for long walks and fishing missions.We did attempt to launch the boat off the sand in the bay to the north and managed to get the car stuck. Definitely operator error, not the property’s fault. We got it sorted in the end with some strops and teamwork. If you’re not experienced with beach launching, I’d recommend listening to local advice or using the Taipa boat ramp instead, watch out for the running tides though. Overall, it was a classic, relaxed NZ beach stay. Dog friendly, practical, and a great base for fishing and beach time. We’d happily come back."
