A true gem for a peaceful break in beautiful nature and the ocean on your doorstep.
We were truly surprised. The holiday house had everything and more than what we needed. It is spacious and the view of the ocean from the deck and from inside the house was a plus. Little swallow mom and dad feeding babies was so exciting to watch, that is something you do not see often. The host was friendly and insightful, we felt totally at home. Thank you Chris, for a lovely stay.

Has everything a bach has. Lots of cutlery, serving plates, drinkware, toaster, kettle. Just do a food shop before you come, bring some condiments and its all good. Cozy place with decent living area with couches for a couple familys or group. Pity stay wasnt longer.

Not really dog friendly
Previous reviews are pretty fair, you get the bach, but you need to bring everything including staples(soap, s&p, sugar etc). Our biggest issue was that although the listing said we could bring our dog, the fencing was not adequate to contain her within the property. Gaps of at least 30cm were under some gates, so my (agile) medium sized dog was easily able to escape. With a strictly no dogs inside policy this meant she was tied up or on the lead the whole time. In hindsight both the dog and us would have had a better time if we’d put her in a kennel for the weekend.

Lovely getaway
An enjoyable four nights away in the beautiful Okiwi Bay. Although the weather wasn’t kind to us we still enjoyed the beautiful surrounding beach and native bush with views from the house into the Bay. A short drive to the Wharf introduced us to the local stingrays which were a magnificent sight! Everything you need for your stay is in the well equipped home, however the only source of heating is the fire, which does it’s job well. Ensuring you bring everything you’ll need consumable wise, will make for a lovey stay in this slice of New Zealand’s beautiful Marlborough Sounds. We wish we had brought the boat for better fishing and exploration! Thank you Chris
