Fantastic location, we all enjoyed the ocean view and proximity to the beach and estuary. The house was cosy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
The property was great. The view was good. It was clean and pet-friendly. The interior like the bedroom and kitchen were great.The only thing the Gas bottle was almost empty. Just made it through the first Barbecue. Couldn’t use it again. But I would come back, as we really enjoyed it.
This property is an excellent comfortable traditional bach right on the beachfront. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here despite stormy weather for half the time. The owner was very good with communications when booking and leading up to our stay.
Awesome location with beautiful views and swimming spots. House is great with everything you need for your stay. Host was friendly and easy to commicate with. The only problem I had was that I didn't book long enough. I will be back!!
Great place to stay, nice hidden little spot with an awesome beach and amazing views.
Will recommend to others and hope to be back in the future.
Bach has everything needed for an enjoyable stay
Bach was mint condition on arrival. Comfortable & warm. 3rd time stay at this bach and view out to surf is amazing. Great beach & estuary walking with dogs.
Perfect property for a family get away.
The house is surprisingly roomy and the view is fanastic. Having beach access from the section is a huge plus, adding loads of fun to our stay.
Awesome, great spot, loved that you had a choice of surf beach or estury side. Would stay again. Amazing sunrises, beautiful views. Everything you needed.
Our second winter weekend stay here. Fantastic views from the huge deck, warm cosy bach, comfy beds, we love it! Anthony is quick to reply to any questions. Our dog loved walks on the beach and we loved curling up on the 3 sofas reading books and watching the waves. Great to have a big oven to cook delicious feasts too! We'll be back again next winter!
We had a wonderful time walking, fishing and relaxing. The host was very communicative and friendly. The bach is clean and comfortable. The bed we used was very comfy, the shower had great pressure and everything was clean. The bach has everything you could ever need and the heater kept things very cosy even when it got cold. Would definitely stay here again and would love to come back in summer. With a surf beach out front and the estuary a short walk away this place has something for everyone. Thanks again for everything Anthony 😊
Fabulous bach, great for the dog. Deck has amazing views. Right on the beach. Huge heater which heated the whole house brilliantly. Bach has all the amenities you need, and turning on all the stuff was easy. Dog loved the beach and estuary walks (very dog friendly community, there are lots of other dogs. We kept her on leash because shes not always friendly to other dogs but off leash is allowed on the beach). Would definitely come again.
This was our second stay at this bach in Pataua North, following on from a most successful winter trip last year. Once again, we were a party of two friends and one small dog (who bounded out of the car to reclaim control of the garden and the access path to the beach).The bach is very clean, comfortable and welcoming, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. As I commented on our first trip, the great sea views and the sound of the waves are a delight.The weather was lovely each day, and we spent a lot of the time walking along the beach and the estuary. We also had a few swims. We braved the surf on Parauwanui beach once but decided the estuary was more our speed (both of us being used to flat water swimming).Noho ora mai Anthony!
