We had a wonderful stay at this bach with a lovely view and a very quiet, relaxing feel. Having the beach right on the doorstep made it extra special—so peaceful and beautiful. It’s perfect for families, and we really appreciated being able to bring our dog too. We’d happily stay again.

a beautiful spot right on the beach

a great place for people who want peace and quiet and a beautiful beach to walk on. Lots of bird life! the house is very comfortable, everything works, the wooden ceiling makes it a little dark in the the living areas.

Great to get back to this amazing spot

A repeat visit for us to this fantastic hideaway. Great little house with all the comforts of home and kayaks to use. Love walking down the beach or through the reserve to the Jetty cafe where they do really good food and also did a trip to Parakai Springs this time, grabbing a coupon off Grab One

Quiet holiday hideaway

Loved this place, needed a quiet break away from the hustle and bustle to reset and this place delivered. Kids loved having the quiet beach right in front of us and the selection of old skool board games that I remember from my grandparents holiday home when I was a kid. Great to have access to kayaks as well. Nice and warm and cosy.

Beautiful location - private little paradise!

We had such a wonderful stay here, the location is amazing, very secluded yet walking distance to a cafe and two playgrounds with some walking tracks in the area. Plenty of space for our family of five and the bach is so well set up. We had lots of rain but it was very cozy watching the storm from inside and there are heaps of board games to entertain. Communication with the owners was very quick and easy and helpful. We loved our time and would love to stay again one day if we are in the area again. Thanks so much for having us!

Wet weekend.. wow

We stayed over a wet winter weekend, it didn't stop raining! But still this place blew us away, such a special and private spot with a garden to die for and the beach right in front. Thank you for having us in your clearly well loved family home.

Heavenly Hideaway 😎

Was taken away by the beautiful & serene surroundings. Waking up to Songbird every morning & listening to the waves lapping from the deck of a wonderful Bach is definitely heaven on earth.
