Amazing private spot. Great fishing and great hosts. The Bach was super clean and comfortable for us and our two teens. Loved walking up to feed Archie the Kunikuni Pig and see the horses.

Magic location & wonderful hosts

This bach is located right on the beachfront with the bay being accessible/swimmable at all tides. The bach is clean and tidy and contains everything you need for a break away at the beach, no need to pack too much! Very friendly and welcoming hosts who were available for anything we needed whilst we stayed. Thank you for having us!

Beachfront Bliss

We rented the owners property for a week with our two children (4 & 5). We loved the house and the grounds were stunning. The accomodation was clean and well resourced with all the basics you need for cooking etc. We made use of the kayaks on site and the nearby boatramp. The kids loved it! Would highly recommend.

Peaceful oasis

We loved our stay in this beautiful piece of NZ paradise! The Bach is so comfortable and modern and has everything required and the views are out of this world! We absolutely loved fishing off the jetty and catching a few good snapper! Michelle was amazing to deal with and we couldn’t have been happier! If you need a break from the ‘noise of life’ then this is the perfect place to just be! Loved it thank you so much Michelle and fam 😀

Perfect!

We had an amazing stay at Poukoura. The location and setup of the beach house suited us perfectly, being so private and within a few steps of a private beach. The house has everything you need, is well presented, there was a good supply of basics and Michelle was a dream to deal with. If we needed anything or wanted info she responded quickly and was very easy to deal with. The property has a boat ramp you can use which suited us well and the location is so peaceful, with easy access to islands for day trips and Kerikeri for supplies. We'll be back for sure!

Feedback

It is an excellent spot and the hosts are great, however for those people who are scared of dogs there was no communication prior that there are dogs roaming the area. To improve this it would be better if this was stated on the property description

We have two dogs on the property that like to come with me to greet the guests. They are family pets that are not roaming dogs. We have never had any negative feedback in regards to the dogs being around previously

GETAWAY PARADISE

The perfect place to recharge batteries, unfortunately too cold in August to use the kayaks, but just sitting on the deck looking at that view was so peaceful. Michelle is delightful, and came over immediately we contacted her as we wanted to watch the news on TV, but couldn't get it to work. Don't know why we wanted to do that, we don't watch at home because of the negativity. There is 10km of metal road, quite rough so if you haven't driven on metal roads, bear it in mind. It was fine for us, but should be noted. Enjoy!!

Spectacular

A truly wonderful stay in a beautiful, tranquil location. This property exceeded our expectations, the views are stunning and the house had everything we needed and more, the kayaks were a real treat and little one never got tired of exploring. The host was so kind to pop over with kids pamol when all the pharmacys had shut in town, so helpful and generous. Would 1000% recommend anyone to stay, young or old, families, it has something for everyone. We would love to come back one day, thank you for a wonderful weekend away.

Incredible getaway

We had the most amazing week here with water sports, kayaking, a trip to rainbow falls and long lunches at Urapukapuka Island with our three children (6-12years). A relaxing bach with stunning views. Thanks for sharing your incredible piece of the coast with our family Michelle (and the mooring for our boat), we really appreciated it! We would definitely recommend this bach to others.

Tranquil beauty

The property is in a beautiful, isolated and tranquil part of the Bay of Islands. The house is modern and warm and had everything we needed. The landscaping around the house is pretty extraordinary - the hosts have a deep care for the land. The place and location were perfect for us for the weekend.

Great Summer Short Break !

Michelle was great from the minute we made the booking. Quick to respond and be of assistance. Directions were clear and found the place easily. The bach has everything you need and the views are simply breathtaking ! Right on the water's edge. Boat launch on their property. We towed the kids on the tube and did some water skiing. Went fishing as well as visited Oke Bay via boat. Was a fantastic 4 nights. only 25 mins drive to Kerikeri. We will certainly be back in the future. Thank you.
