Karen and family were ideal guests - respectful, courteous and personable with a 'can-do' attitude to make the most of rather ordinary weather. Welcome back any time.

What a wonderful long weekend we had in this bach at Waitaruru. The house was lovely and the host was so helpful making sure we enjoyed ourselves and relaxed. The children had so much fun exploring the bay. I especially enjoyed going to sleep and waking up listening to the waves breaking on the beach below the bach.

It really is a slice of paradise

If you need to escape to somewhere away from the crowds that is truly relaxing, head to Challis Beach House. The views are truly stunning… from dawn to dusk. It’s a perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. Your host, Steve will ensure your stay perfect. Highly recommended.
