A great Bach with everything you need!

We were three young families - the house was great, and plenty big enough. The kitchen was well kitted out with everything we needed! The hot tub and pool were great (although we didn't use the pool with it being cold, it looked great for summer though) Would definitely recommend and stay again!

awesome time

Great location a few minutes from the beach or the well furnished dairy. We really appreciated how the house was furnished with everything we needed including scooters, body boards for the kids and a kayak for the adults. The spa was awesome and the pool a bit chilly (april) but the kids loved it. House was clean, warm and comfy ! we really enjoyed our stay and clearly recommend it !

A Beautiful Place

Not only was this home so suited to our needs at the time, it felt especially 'loved' and a peaceful place to recover. Sarah was kind, generous and easy to connect with, responding immediately and graciously. We spent more time in the pool than at the beach which was an easy stroll that we took each morning. The beds were so well kept and cared for, everyone slept comfortably. With many places to gather as an adult family, we truly got the time together that we hoped for. Thank you

1 MILLION PERCENT RECOMMENDATION! This 'Book a Bach' is an absolute Northland gem and the dream family escape. The pool and spa were the stars; sparkling clean upon arrival and so inviting, they gave us zero reason to leave! The kids had endless fun, zooming on the provided scooters/bikes in the generous outdoor space.Evenings were magical with the firepit for s'mores and plenty of comfy outdoor seating. Inside is stunning and incredibly well-equipped, featuring luxurious touches like fluffy soft towels and bedding.The owner's communication was effortless, kind, and responsive. We so appreciated their care! For those who explore, it’s a short drive to Ruakākā Beach, a wonderfully safe, car-free spot for kids to run free.Thank you for sharing this beautiful home. The kids loved it, and we will definitely be back!
