Fishing getaway

Great spot, another good getaway for 5 of us. Good fishing in the Sounds, regular stingrays cruising around the bay and some very friendly Weka's around the Bach. Once again was very sad to leave.

Great Location

Our family really enjoyed staying in this off the grid location. Bach is very well equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed fishing, walks up the back of the property, using the kayaks, and exploring the bay. Great outdoor filleting area, overall, very practical Bach. Thanks

Loved our stay at this amazing Bach. Very well set up will fully equipped kitchen. Wouldn’t know it was of grid. View was beautiful and fishing great! Outdoors was very well thought out and a great space to spend time. Bonus with water filtering system. We will re book.

Boating, Fishing & Watersports Paradice

Great location with fantastic amenities - off grid, yes, but would never have known! Simple practical Bach(s) with lovely comfy beds. Outdoor filleting area great! Jetty brilliant - kids spent hours fishing off this and watching other marine life. A lot of thought has gone into this property to make simple work exceptionally well! A really special holiday had by all.

Waitangi 2024

Nine of us stayed over the long Waitangi weekend 2024. Three generations from 73 to 11. Bach was fantastic and had everything and more that we needed for our stay. Outdoor area was amazing for the late afternoon sun to enjoy a cold beverage. Kids spent hours jumping off the jetty and paddling on the kayaks in the bay. A large stingray spent most of our stay near the jetty and boat ramp which was a great experience. Would definitely stay again!

Stunning location

We had a wonderful time despite a week of Rain! We enjoyed walks in the Forrest, fishing off the Jetty & being very cosy in the cabin with the gas heater. We didn’t use the sleepout. Great Fridge/BBQ / outdoor fire area - all so well set up - we needed into use the generator a lot as there was no sunshine - the solar would be fine on sunny days. Our boat sat well on the mooring & was mostly protected from the ferry wake. An incredible location & a very well thought out home… we can’t wait to book again!
