We had wonderful stay in Tairua. The bach is so close to the beach access #3, outside hot shower is so good after autumn season swim. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you so much.
The property was great, with easy access to the beach, and we had a very comfortable stay. We had planned to bring our dog but ended up leaving him with friends.
Lovely cozy spot with everything we needed for our family holiday. Great location to access the beach, bird life was awesome and exploring the creek was wonderful.
The wild birds were amazing. The property was lovely and clean. Look forward to going back again soon

Hello, and thank you for your comments.
The wild bird life is wonderful at all different times of the year, due to the bird reserve directly behind the Bach. Hopefully you saw the two quail families with their 14 babies and the wild pheasants Tui in abundance are around in spring darting everywhere, enjoying the flax bushes. Thank you. 😀�
Beautiful garden and back yard, great location 2 minutes walking to the beach and 15 mon walk to the town. Private spacious and the dogs loved the big garden and the creek at the back of the property. Great value for money

Thanks, for your wonderful comments. Our Bach is in a fabulous location, right in the middle of the ocean beach, only a short stroll over the sand dunes. We take a lot of pride in our gardens. 🌺
The Bach was just what our family needed for a few days to unwind after travelling from Australia.
We loved the beach just across the road, the yard was a big hit with the kids too. The Fire place was lovely to take the chill off the air. The place was comfortable and homely and great location to explore the Coromandel.
Thanks for the great stay!
Loved the big section - private with lovely trees and shrubs and even a rope swing! Excellent barbecue and living spaces inside and out.. everything we needed. Easy walk to the beach.
A true NZ bach, with most of the essentials and in a lovely location, a short hop to the beach. It was comfortable, and our wee dog loved cooling off in the stream out back.

Lovely kiwi bach close to the beach
Thank you for a lovely stay. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest to enjoy the amazing locality to the beach, which was such a close walk.
The house had everything we needed and more!
Would love to stay again in nicer weather :)
Thanks again Rosemary

Always welcome back.
The correspondence was fantastic and easy. Thank you.
We loved this traditional kiwi bach. Perfect for the 5 of us plus dog. Absolutely everything we needed. Cosy fire for wet winter days. Easy walking access to village and beach.
A absolute gem of a bach in Tairua, great location, right by the main beach, and also backs on to a stream that flows into the main harbour, (Kayaks provided) Tidy, clean and has everything you need and more for the quintessential kiwi beach experiance.... loved it.
Great stay! Family all commented how well they slept! Great location. House had everything me needed. The property isn’t fenced so all eyes were on the dog as she would wander off! Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful that you enjoyed your stay.
We are very lucky to have the privacy as our back yard back onto a bird reserve, fortunately our dogs stay within our property boundries.
Always good when its just a 'hop skip and jump' over to the beach. (2mins).
Loved the location the beach is a 5 minute or less walk. Loved the home. Everything was wonderful. Only suggestion would be to get a few new pans. They are pretty bad but that is the only negative thing I can say. Loved staying there.

Delighted you enjoyed your stay. Based on your feedback we now have new frying pans. 😊
We had a lovely quiet few days in a great location, close to the ocean beach and listening to the birds. The bach is as described and was very clean and tidy. Comfortable and warm beds, the fireplace and heater were good with the cold weather. Suited our family and dog well. Thanks

Brilliant that you enjoyed the location and all that our bach has to offer.
Winter beach walking is always wonderful when theres a warm log fire burning back at the bach for your return. Happy days!
It is like being at home, you lack nothing. The owner Rosemary is very friendly and will answer all your questions. Tairua and the region are fantastic. Thank you!
