Beautiful location - Amazing Beach

Had a great time staying at the bach, there were a few niggles with windows not having safety catches having a toddler and a huge drop to the ground pretty terrifying. A very strict check out time with the cleaner arrive before the actual check out time.

Had a lovely time, great view and such a nice place with a gated entrance making the place quiet even over the long weekend. The bach worked great for us. Simple but it’s all we needed. Great covered deck area with the view.

Lovely spot

Great spot. The location is brilliant. High up enough for a great view but a short walk (5 mins) to the beach which is Fanta. The house is small but is well equipped and has everything you need. It’s a fantastic spot to stay and we will happily return.

Such an amazing place to stay

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing location - the views from the bach were spectacular. The bach was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds were really comfortable. Easy walk down to the beach, which had a great estuary and lagoon to explore.

lovely property, tidy with beautiful sea views from deck.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay of two days in this iconic kiwi bach.On our arrival we found the place to be well presented which helped make our stay a very enjoyable one, however there was one thing we found the oven door didn't close properly and so we chose not to use it, but all in all a big thumbs up from us,Cheers
