Wish it was summer !

Unbelievable weather for May, blue sky days and no wind.The bach was cosy and suited our family for the weekend.The outside shower was a hit and wish we had the chance to use the outside covered area. This would be ideal in summer, living outside with shade during the day and outside by the fire at night. Thanks Cole

Easy Holiday

Fantastic set up if you are looking for something affordable and comfortable. Summer on the decks would be amazing. Beach and Coffee at the cafe so close. Would go back for sure. All we needed.

So relaxing

Great spot, wonderful property. We needed a break from home renovations, a chance to relax and unwind before tackling the next bout of renos. This cute cottage hit the spot perfectly. Thank you.

Cool little bach

We loved the Bach but there were 2 quite significant disappointing aspects. The first was not realising until we arrived that there is a quite high step up into the bedrooms and the kitchen. We had my elderly mother with us and this step was definitely difficult for her and also a safety issue. I feel that this should be in the description for the Bach as for people like us it’s a significant factor. The second issue was the smell in the outside cabin which meant that it was not suitable to be used, definitely no-one was able to spend the night in there. I tried airing the room but as soon as it was shut up again the smell returned. I’m not sure what caused the smell but it was just fortunate that there were enough beds without using this room even though we had planned on being able to use it. Overall we loved the Bach and had a great weekend. Thank you.

Excellent

This accommodation was perfect for our stay for Beach hop. Great location with a short walk to Williamson park and about a 10-15 minute easy walk to town. Great to have two showers. Easily accommodated our five adults. Our friends also commented on the great deck. Host instructions were easy to follow and very informative. We loved it so much we have rebooked for next year. Thank you Cole.

About the host

Hosted by Cole

I'm an ocean and mountain lover and Te Koha is my dream. I hope you have as many happy and memorable times there as I have.

Why they chose this property

It's so typically Kiwi and just like our people, it's humble, honest and opens its heart to you from the moment you arrive.
As part of my dream, for every night you stay, we gift a night to children who cannot afford this Kiwi iconic experience. That's why it's called Te Koha. Thank you for your contribution.

What makes this property unique

Everybody talks about the outside hot shower (we haven't used the inside one for 5 years), the outside fire to toast marshmallows and the 4 min walk to the beach. You decide :-)
