Only stayed a few days Went home Saturday because of the cyclone coming throughBut was a beautiful spot Was refunded Saturday night as was leaving on the Sunday Katie was an excellent host
A perfect base to explore all of the Bay of Island attractions. The bach is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The view from the deck is stunning and falling asleep to the sound of gentle waves was a real treat.
Location is stunning. Can walk rigbt across road onto the beach. Was good for a morning swim. Also coffee stand just down the road was very convenient.
Will definitely be back.
We had such a wonderful stay, the bach was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Having the beach just across the road was magic and waking up to the sound of the waves crashing on beach was pure bliss. 100% recommend to other families.
We absolutely love this place. The Little Bach is perfect for us. The beach itself is amazing - a beautifully isolated little spot where you can take a break from the rest of the world. Will definitely be back.
Beach front comfort in perfect weather. Quiet contemplation just 3 minutes from “downtown” Russell cuisine. We swam in the cool, clear blue sea and lazed on the deck in the warm sun, watching the morning the dog walkers with their coffees from the cart at the west end of the beach.
WOW! What a beautiful little bach right on the waterfront. Breakfast with a view watching dolphins cruising past was amazing and the sound of the ocean was so peaceful.
The bach was clean and tidy, with lots of space to relax and uwind
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024

Why they chose this property
This is a family property bought by by grand parents when there were very few people living at Long Beach. It has been passed down the generations and is now owned by my sister and myself, being a place we both like to escape to whenever time permits.
What makes this property unique
Safe beach for swimming or lie back, relax, and read a book . Expansive views over the bay.
