About the host
Hosted by Rosie
We are US based Kiwis. This bach has been in my family for almost 50 years and we love it! When we took it over from my parents, our kids made the executive decision to not have wifi and appreciate old DVDs, board games and walks on the beach.
Why they chose this property
We love to walk along the front beach to Collingwood for fish and chips at the pub. We spend hours exploring the tracks in the reserve. When we want to go further afield it is up the road to the Mussel Inn or out to Wharariki Beach.
