Great wee bach is wonderful location

We had a great time at this bach as a family of 5. The bach had everything we needed and having use of the kayaks was fabulous. The spot is great being in the sounds but also being so close to Havelock.

Wonderful Bach

Terrific stay. As the accurate listing shows, the view, deck, spa, and water access are such a treat. And the kayaks and paddle board are a great addition. The inside is also lovely, and has virtually everything you’d want. I’ve never stayed at a vacation home that was this well kitted out. Stay here if you get the chance!

Lovely property, well appointed, quiet even though near the road, and great to have ready access to the waterfront. Beds were comfy and kitchen well stocked. Lovely deck not that we used it much Didn't use the kayaks etc and regretted we'd not made more effort to. A magic spot, and Annie was great, thanks

Wonderful location, very comfortable

Wonderful location, very comfortable. Entry to house needs to be improved, slightly dangerous if you have any mobility problems. Some trimming of the trees would improve the view. Otherwise we loved the batch and our time there.

Lovely spot, handy to Havelock recommend Mussel Pot Restaurant, Captains Daughter a bit average, Canvastown has a great swimming hole at Pear Tree Flat, Omaka Aviation Centre worth a look, very interesting, on a wet day, Maybe a bit of tree trimming so we could see the sea better, great deck and bean bags comfy. easy to clean . We spent 10 mins clearing a path to the beach, easy to do this, great flat rock for a cuppa and wines, kayak at higher tides as we got caught on the mud flats - ugh!

Loved this place.

Loved this place. Felt so secluded even though you had neighbors. The bach comes equipped with everything you could possibly need! The bach itself is gorgeous! The area is lovely for a spot of kayaking!

Easy access to both Havelock and Picton and Blenheim.

Easy access to both Havelock and Picton and Blenheim. We loved how quiet it was off the main road and down the hill with our own little beach. Great to have the Kayaks and life vests there for our use. The house was very tidy, clean and had everything we needed. We appreciated being able to share in the owners little piece of paradise.
