Great location , Good property plenty of space ,wonderful views. Just a great allround property, unfortunately we had a burst water pipe in middle of night which was a pity as we needed to vacate to get the place dried out, otherwise we enjoyed the experience. Definitely would stay again.

Property was nice enough; but next door, major earthquake repairs were underway.

Property was nice enough; but next door, major earthquake repairs were underway. Each day we were awoken NLT than 7:15AM, not to the sounds of bellbirds and other fauna; but instead to the sounds of planing saws, circular saws, and the sporadic pounding of multiple hammers lasting until 5:00PM. Proximity to the shore and being able to roll the kayaks from the house to the water was a nice touch, as was the barista machIne; but it's great to be home and finally get some REST!

Impeccably clean, small unexpected extras like kayaks, life jackets, tissues and pantry items made the difference. Thank you for trusting us with your beautiful Bach. We would recommend to any of our friends. Expectations exceeded!

A good property, centrally located with constantly changing views over the sea and hills. Peaceful with bellbirds and tuis in the trees. Extremely well equipped for every need: bread maker, slow cooker, etc. No WiFi access which is something that needs to be considered.
