We loved the Bach, for its locality to the water and it was so well set up for our family stay

We loved the spaciousness, the views, privacy and being back where I grew up... And catching up with old friends.

Beautiful bach and picture perfect location. Had everything that was listed. Comfortable home on the waters edge of the bay. Easy check in process. The locals and visitors very friendly. 5 minute walk to the beach which is around the bend from the bay. So peaceful and tranquil. NB. no dairy or supermarket nearby so dont forget essentials. Thank you to our hosts who had made sure that our stay in their bach was amazing and stress free.

Great Location

Location is spot on. Right on the estaruaty and a minutes walk to a beautiful surf beach. Note there are no shops here so come prepared. There is also no washing machine and be mindful that the hot water cylinder is very small so showers were limited. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay. thank you

Paradise on the doorstep

Amazing location to get away from it all, the photos don't even do this place justice. If you're looking for conveniences like WiFi and a dishwasher this isn't the place for you, but if you're looking for a typical kiwi bach experience with the water on your doorstep I highly recommend it.

Pataua North

This was an excellent location for our special family celebration, meeting all our expectations. The property is very clean and comprehensively equipped. The situation itself is superb - right on the estuary beach, but only a minute's walk from the ocean. I would highly recommend this bach to anyone looking for a holiday that is focused on the outdoors, but which also provides all you need in the way of home-comforts.

Breathtaking location!

We had a wonderful long weekend away with the family for a wedding - an incredible location and breathtaking views over the Pataua Harbour. Could walk down from the deck to the water for a swim where there were hundreds of yummy pipi's and cockles to eat! We did have some issues with the pump and went without water for a few hours but Greg was great at rectifying this very quickly! Would go back in a heartbeat - a true taste of NZ paradise!
