A rustic Kiwi Bach with a very steep stairs to a loft which had low beams - not for the elderly or young children. It had a great westerly view & very peaceful setting with bird sounds.

No frills remote getaway with beautiful views. Slight miscalculation on my part thinking my kids could manage the bush walk to the beach and the rocky crossing, it was definitely more than I trusted for my city grown 8 year old to make.

Cute bach nestled in the bush looking down to the surf beach. Great location for peace and quiet. A quick drive gets to the town for all that has to offer and the beaches. Lovely place.
