Fantastic spot for a beach break.

Great location, kids played on the beach all day and the house worked great for us. Waihau Bay Hotel was good for pub food too. Only feedback is doors on the bedrooms would help as we had to retreat to our bedroom early each night so as not to wake the kids.

Absolutely stunning location

We had an amazing trip in Waihau bay, the view from the deck is just awesome. Literally a few steps from the beach. Classic kiwi bach with everything that you need for your holidays. Plenty of space for boats and cars. Will definitely come back again and again.

The best beach

This property is a real bach. It has a great deck and one of the best views you can imagine. Across the road is a beautiful safe swimming beach with rocks at the end of the bay. Magic!

Beautiful peaceful location, bach was perfect for what we wanted. The only downside was that the TV didn't work, it would have been useful to have this going to help us keep updated about the storm ,but otherwise everything was great.Unfortunately we had to leave a day early due to the incoming bad weather, but we were grateful for Erins advice regarding this. We would love to return sometime!

Great location

Another enjoyable stay at the bach. Couple of notes - yep the lawns are boggy and whoever left before our arrival must not have used the concrete much. Also of note is that there is no longer a bbq at the bach, even though it is mentioned in the communications. Overall an awesome spot and well laid out. Cheers

Host was great and had fantastic communication. The view from the deck was picture perfect and loved how close to the beach it was. Handy for a walk, swim or fish. Unfortunately the weather for us wasn’t the best for a couple of days and with no wifi and only one ph able to get reception a few of the guests became restless. It would be helpful to recommend guests bring their own dvds as we couldn’t get the tv to go (no aerial?!). I also would have assumed being a well known (and very remote) spot for fishermen that there be a larger freezer available for bait/fish, esp if staying for a length of time.

Quaint and great location

Property was as depicted in the listing. We didn’t rate the bach as comfortable as the beds were uncomfortable and the lounge furniture was also not comfortable. Would recommend a new mattress on the master bedroom bed as there is serious roll together making it a very uncomfortable sleep for 2

Fishing Adventure

Property was all that was implied, though was surprised that the bedrooms had no doors. Unfortunately due to the severe weather of Cyclone Cabriel the section was extremely wet which created problems parking the boat and van. Was an excellent break away

Fishing trip

Bach is as advertised…under renovation. If like us you are using it as a fishing base it serves the purpose of providing a bed and shower after a day on the water. Was missing some basic essentials like a decent clean frypan and there was no gas for BBQ and being picky no tea towels, salt and pepper or ability to easily cook a meal for 3 blokes. Wouldn’t recommend for a romantic getaway or people freaked out by spiders and cockroaches.

Handy location for boat launching at Waihau Bay. Great on-site parking for up to 2 boats.

Very well appointed Bach. Had all the basics and comfortable beds except the slat bed that creaked every time you moved. Part way through a tidy up, but is a tidy good Ol Kiwi Bach. Most likely needing a debugging spray/pest control for spiders and cockroach. Only a few cockroachs but some people just don't like them and where there is a few there is a lot hiding in those warm dark spaces. Overall a 7 out of 10.
