About the host
Hosted by Matt
I live in the Bay and grew up not far from our bach and spent a lot of time as I was growing up staying at the bach playing on the beach and in the water, fishing, boating and diving. This is my favorite place to be.
Why they chose this property
My Grandfather built this house and it has been in the family for generations. We have upgraded it over the years but it still has the original character and is a place all our family love staying at and having fun at the beach.
What makes this property unique
Large flat section with pohutukawas at the back. Just across the road from the beach.
