Great Family Beach Stay
Quintessential kiwi bach experience, a little run down but relaxed and comfy. Awesome access to beach. The table tennis table was a great unexpected extra. Great for an easy going family.

Great place with a real nz Bach feel.
Great place with a real nz Bach feel. So easy to get to the beach and local shops. Definitely coming back. Out door bath is a great little touch and choice of outdoor seating areas lets you follow the sun.

Love this place! Relaxed, comfy and fantastic location.
Love this place! Relaxed, comfy and fantastic location. Really hard to beat for peaceful low key break. Only negative is the cleaning fee very high for what it is....would be helpful to be left even one full roll of toilet paper (make sure you take some for arrival!!), some dishwasher tablets and some sort of kitchen bench cleaning products.

Lovely place for a weekend away
We enjoyed a lovely weekend at Ruby batch with our family. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Easy and quick to heat on the cold nights. Great beach access. The kids enjoyed playing table tennis in the sheltered area outside. Would stay again in the future.

Great location, but poor property servicing
Great location and relaxed bach vibe, sadly the property was not supplied with any reasonable basics eg tea towel, oven gloves, toilet paper (not even 1 full roll), dishwashing liquid, bathroom/toilet cleaners etc. I had the same problems last year on 2 other stays here. Property manager was very helpful and dropped some around when made aware. Cleaning charge is excessive given the bach size and quality of clean.

Summer Bliss
Our entire trip was made amazing by the house itself. The different sections and feeling of “if I want to escape here for a moment of quiet from everybody” was honestly one of the best features of the bach. The place was stocked just right for us and we all really loved the proximity to the beach and cafe - especially the kayaks which being that the guests were between the ages of 13 to 53 I was surprised that the kayaks were something everyone enjoyed! The ping pong table was also a massive hit and a great way to spend time and have fun. Overall, it was a wonderful time and the house had a really great vibe to it - perfect place for making happy memories. We’ll definitely book again if we ever get the chance! Thank you to Nicola too!! She is a really down to earth lady who made us feel like we could just kick back and enjoy the place in its entirety and so we appreciated that greatly!!!

Fantastic Bach close to the beach
Loved our time here. Struck a good balance between a nice place to stay and not so precious that we worried about sand ;-) loved the easy access to the beach and the outdoor decks. Well equipped with everything we needed. One issue - laundry power point trips so can’t wash or dry but I’m sure it’s an easy fix.

Omaha family memories
Wow. Such a great weekend away with our family. Everything about the property was amazing. The kids loved it and was fully fenced and safe for all. We would love to come back again. The whole process was easy and communication was great. The only thing I would say is the nails in the deck need to be hammered down there was a few snagged toes. But over all beautiful. Thank you so much. Hope to be back soon. From the Seiler family.

Perfect beach getaway
We had such a great time at the bach. Beach is literally in your backyard and so much entertainment for the kids. Very clean too.Communication was great too and was very nice of Nicola to let us in early due to us coming from another bach and having things that needed the fridge. Kids mattresses weren"t in the best comdition and bunk bed was very unstable. Wifi was an issue, very unreliable and wasnt fixed till the 2nd morning of our stay and then it stopped working again that night. But overally a great getaway!! Thanks again.
