Great spot
The location is fantastic. We found it a bit overpriced and were surprised that price changes depending on the guests. Normally you rent the property regardless (within the limit of the max occupants) The host was really helpful and accommodating (we were not charged for the sheets we forgot to bring)

Stunning spot!
What an idyllic spot! We arrived with 2 kids under 5 and a dog and it was just prefect! Bach is rustic enough that you are comfortable without having to worry, and location is great for anyone with kids! Literally 2mins walk to the beach - so multiple trips up and down in a day when you need a break is so easy! Plenty to explore with crayfish bay, the PA and other bays. Hosts generously supplied Kayaks also for even more exploring. Hosts home is just in front so accessible if you require anything but leaves you to get on and enjoy the space without interruption. Highly recommend and we will be back! Thank you

Disappointing
We were disappointed on arrival because the small bach was behind a huge new house. This location was never mentioned and the photos were misleading, the description was "right across the road from the beach " but it's not really as it's down a driveway and hidden behind the big house. There is no view of the water.

Great little Kiwi bach
Our host Liz was amazing and very helpful after we had to move our original dates by more than a year, nothing was too much trouble. House was perfect for our little family (2 adults, 3 children (1 in cot)) and great being so close to the beach We had access to kayaks and life jackets (which we didn’t use) and our own little ‘social’ area Great spot and accommodation was top notch

Authentic Kiwi Bach
This is a proper kiwi bach by the sea. Clean tidy with every thing you need for a restful or active break. The beach is lovely and the sea is safe for swimming & kayaking (just watch the wind). The sea kayaks provided by the hosts are brand new. The hosts are helpful & friendly but not in your face. We would stay there again without hesitation.
