Fabulous getaway

The property was perfect for our stay and the proximity to the beach was great. The house was comfortable and we managed to relax. Bryan’s Beach is a hidden gem and perfect for us to help celebrate a relatives 98th birthday.

Last Motu Challenge

We stayed here as two of our party in the last Motu Challenge. Great location, close to Opotiki, close to beach. Would be better if wifi or phone coverage was better as we are from different locations and difficult without phone coverage to pass on messages, check weather etc, meet other friends staying closeby etc. But the view is lovely and would love to return - hopefully the Motu will be resurrected in time!

Relaxing break despite the Cyclone

We arrived in time for the cyclone - the house felt safe and comfortable even when the power went out and storm surge meant it was always high tide for a day. We still really enjoyed our stay and would like to come back in better weather - lovely place!!

Lovely views

We spent a lovely long weekend here. This is a comfortable bach with everything we needed. It was private and peaceful, surrounded by trees, with views of the sea. The deck had a gate either end and was secure for our dog to wander round. The National Park is a short distance away with dogs allowed on lead.

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again, the comments below are not a deal breaker for us. Just a few friendly suggestions, use it, don't use it: - Ensure the dog fee of $20 is communicated in the property cost upfront, no one likes surprises - Ensure the detail what "linen included" really means - The kitchen drawers have no handles, so very difficult to open - The normal utensils, "Knives and forks" can do with a refresh - Bathroom is very dark, can do with better lightning

Glorious bach by the sea

This holiday house|bach embodies the great NZ summer holiday. All that is required for a wonderful time irrespective of the weather: views and easy access to the beach, walks in the nearby reserve, games, books ... and if necessary tv. Excellent communication and responsiveness from the property manager. Clear instructions regarding removal of own rubbish, to maintain the pristine state of the environment.
