Awesome stay

Totally recommend this bach and owners. We had a wonderful stay, clean, cosy and everything we needed. Nothing was a problem and communication was excellent. The bach is small but has a fabulous layout and the deck area is generous. Can't recommend enough. Loved our stay.

The Mahia Bach with everything you will need

From booking, to arriving and then leaving the process was seamless. Andrew was brilliant and provided all the necessary communication to make my trip easy.The Bach itself is beautiful, every mod-con you could need in a self contained home away from home.It’s located in a truly picturesque part of NZ. If you love the beach and nature - this is the place for you.I would revisit Mahia and stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cosy Bach

My son and I enjoyed a wonderful break at your bach. It was a hop, skip and a jump to the beach, and tucked away from the business of life. The bach is beautifully set up and comfortable. Great communication with the owners too! Perfect!

Mahia

A nice remote location close to the beach. The unit is small but works for two people. There is a nice big front porch and the kitchen is adequately stocked. The drinking water is from the tank and groceries need to be brought with you for the stay. Wifi works well.

Thanks Dan for your review. Just to add the drinking water does run through 2 filters and a UV Light source also. The new 30sq metre patio/deck roof does give us that great extra outdoor space. Enjoy the rest of your time in New Zealand, Nga Mihi, Andrew and Aroha

Perfect beach bach

After a long drive we were delighted to find how lovely this bach was. And we thoroughly enjoyed our three nights there despite the weather. We still managed a walk to the beach, enjoyed a talk with neighbors, and the coffee and pies at the gas station. The bach had everything we wanted , and much more. Very modern and comfortable. Many thanks to Andrew for your great communication and thorough texts.

Beautiful spot, awesome bach

Property was exactly as advertised. Excellent communication from property managers, super clear info. Place was clean and had everything we needed (except an iron but who needs an iron at the beach!) We were so busy that we didn’t get to hang out there enough, or use the kitchen or bbq! we would definitely stay again. Close to the beach- great for sunset walks. Shower was great, much better than many places we’ve stayed. (We observed the request for short showers and can see why they ask for that- would be so easy to stay in!)

Excellent place

We arrived in Mahia and had a week of cold wet southerly weather - so no boating and the sea (NE coast) was too murky for snorkelling.After a few days our adult son ( keen surfer) went off to find swells and my wife and I settled in to sit out the bad weather.Andrew and Aroha’s Bach is snug and warm and with the shade screens down securely we were able to spread out and relax. My wife (artist) painted and we both churned thru the holiday reading and walked the beach each day.In spite of the weather we had a wonderful relaxing time.

Wedding party

My daughter & her Brides maids used this cosy bach to get ready before heading around to Taylors bay for her wedding. Its out of the way but close to the beach and a small stroll to the corner store for a coffee or hot chips. It served as a beautiful location for the girls to relax and have some fun before the nerves kicked in. My son in law & daughter then got to stay without being disturbed before heading away in their honeymoon. We will no doubt book again.
