Loved our stay
We loved the 4 days we spent here. It rained a lot but it didn’t stop us from doing what we had “planned!” My husband did try to change our booking to 2 days but the owner got a little snippy with us since it was a “big” weekend (Waitangi). Understandable. We did check how many other bookings there were for this property around this time - we saw one other. Not so busy. We also received all the information on how to get into the home… and assumed we had paid the total for 4 days. A few days before we were to arrive at the house we received an email about final payment. We ignored it thinking it was a scam. The day before arriving at the home we received another notification about missing payment and realized we had not paid the full amount. The final payment was promptly made. No problem. The final straw was getting another snippy email about how lucky we’d been to make the final payment because we would have been cancelled!!!!! Seriously, we wouldn’t have been overly concerned if we had been cancelled. What I found interesting was the tone of the “warnings!” If that is how a “Host” behaves I hope others run from her! Not a pleasant experience. We’ve been on the road since mid July 2022. We’ve had no issues with any Hosts!! This “Host’s” behavior was uncalled for. Please consider and be mindful of your tone when dealing with people. You don’t know the age of your guests, their computer/phone skills, their availability to wifi and phone service….

Great wee home with everything you need. Fantastic spot and great for the kids having the estuary right there to swim. House is warm, clean and tidy. Love the covers over the windows being able to open them up without worrying about the mozzies coming in! Nicky was easy to communicate with and we will no doubt be back.

Lovely & Relaxing Break
While the bach has everything you need for a relaxing, quiet getaway, its what surrounds the property that makes this place so special. A lagoon & beach directly behind you and majestic mountains on the other side of you, just amazing!
