The Bach was lovely. Location was perfect, 5 minute walk to the beach. Shower was powerful and the water was hot, there were fluffy towels and the place was very clean with everything we needed. Appreciate the tea/coffee supplies. Would definitely recommend, especially as it is pet friendly.
We loved our stay here!! It’s a little paradise, feels so private and a great place to relax. The cottage is really well set up, super clean and comfortable, and the garden is stunning! This is one of our favourite places we’ve stayed! The host was really helpful and accommodating. Would love to come back again!
Love coming to this little cottage. So easy to feel at home, Hosts are super helpful and great communication. Everything is set out so thoughtfully and simply. A real home away from home for me!Thanks
We loved the cottage, the beach, the tranquil wee garden and the friendly folks in Ohawe. Bridget and Paul went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Dream holiday!
great stay in Ohawe-the bach was just as listed, well appointed, great location and super comfy.will stay again. loved Ohawe and the people were very friendly.
The cottage is small but spotlessly clean, private and comfortable. The lack of a freezer was offset by the ice maker which we used to make ice for the chilly bin when we went out for the day. The washing machine in the shed was perfect! The location is great for a beach walk or a 45 min. drive to get to mountain tracks or Rotokare Scenic Reserve. Stores are a quick 15 minute drive away.
Had such a lovely stay here in Ohawe! The place is so cozy and setup really well for convenience and comfort. Will absolutely book again if I’m travelling through the area
A lovely place to kick back and relax. You have thought of everything regardless of the weather there is a place to hang out and things to do. Hoping to be back next year
Awesome clean and cozy wee bach. Lovely decor and beautiful garden. Had everything you needed. Excellent location too. Had an awesome time. Will definitely be back sometime.
Can't fault this bach, very clean, everything we needed, and check-in process was seamless. The property is very well maintained, and if you want to escape the hustle and bustle in a very quiet little township I'd highly recommend.
