Lovely Kiwi bach
We had a lovely stay at Rach’s house. As advertised a lovely kiwi bach. Beds were all very comfortable and there were lots of pillows to suit everyone’s needs. The second fridge was a blessing with all our food for the week. Ligar bay was a beautiful and quiet beach and was perfect for a swim/float at high tide and walking at low tide.

Lovely Xmas in the Bay
This house was in a great location, just a minute's walk from the beach, with great bay views. Everything was nice and clean, and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking a xmas day feast. We had a few questions prior to arriving which Rachel was very quick to answer helpfully. The kayaks and paddleboard provided were a great bonus. Overall we had a really good time in Ligar Bay and would definitely recommend this property!

Could not ask for more
From the outset the owner was very obliging and understanding particularly when our original booking numbers changed due to on going covid restrictions with Australia . The house and interiors completely matched the website which is a always reassuring as me its position one house back from the beach meant great access and views. I would not hesitate to recommend this Bach. We had a wonderful time.

Great for a family
Great location and space for a large family. Kids could walk to beach in 2 min. Very well equipped kitchen. We choose the place because of kayaks but did find these hard to get to the beach as the trolley was broken. House was reasonably clean but we found felt like it needed a little more attention as there was a lot of dust in corners and under things, and dead bugs and bits in places. Overall we would stay again though!

We found the house perfect. Great views,clean and comfortable and roomy. Everything needed supplied.
We had a great time during the 4 days of mixed weather to and fro from the beach and surrounds.. A mini family birthday party for my now nine year old granddaughter on the covered deck was enhanced by the beautiful views despite the changeable weather and was enjoyed by all. Lots of books and games for a rainy day. Thanks. I would really recommend for all age groups. Yvonne
