Treeline bit of paradise
Cute and quirky house with everything you need, heaps of room for 6 adults, and beautiful location. It really is Hill top and I'd suggest driving to the beach but its beautifully set up for outside entertaining and inside relaxing.

Waiheke stay
Clean and well kept property with all the amenities. My only suggestion would be to have a few windows with mosquito nets so the lovely breeze can be enjoyed throughout the house on hot summer evenings. We would stay here again.

Long weekend with the kids and dog
We had a lovely relaxing stay here with our 3 young kids and family pooch. The home is older but clean, warm, and well appointed. The views are lovely and the beds comfortable. We would stay here again.

Super fam getaway with our dog
This was a delightful place to stay for a long weekend getaway, our family of five enjoyed the charming, relaxed vibe and best of all having our dog on holiday with us! The location worked well relying on public transport, and we appreciated the proximity to the beach. Would love to come stay again.

Great retro bach with enough modern comforts to keep the family happy.
My family have enjoyed our second stay at this bach. We all love Palm Beach, and the location is handy to the beach and only a short drive, or bus ride, to get supplies. Lovely courtyard and bbq area.

We liked this house
We liked this house. It’s comfortable even in the middle of winter with the fire going. Beds had plenty of extra blankets available. Great for a family. We took our car. The kids enjoyed the range of board games available and there were some classic DVDs to watch which we all appreciated. Thank you for having us.

This is a delightful bach decorated with eclectic flair. Beautiful views across the surrounding hillside. Only a 10 minute walk to Palm beach with stunning views along the way. I would highly recommended it.
