This is our third visit to Anna's Bach and we just love it there. The location is stunning, the bach so welcoming, entertaining birdlife to watch and a great record collection. Just a wonderful place to rest and recover. Anna is a great host and we can't wait to come back again.

Being blessed with the sighting of the blue penguin our family of five had a wonderful time at the Library's Bach. We felt nurtured in a soul filling overall 'kiwi bach' atmosphere and enjoyed a fully well equipped kitchen. We'd love to come back.
