Great location, didn't get what we booked - we were moved as the owners were hosting a stag party - was told it was an upgrade but unfortunately we didn't agree. Overall the accomodation was satisfactory, bed was very comfortable, shame the homemade curtains didn't fit the windows adequately

A very pleasant stay in an authentic NZ Bach perched on the side of a hill in typical NZ style. The living facilities were clean and tidy with very confortable bedding. The location is perfect for chilling out or as a staging point to discover the Coromandel.
