Great location and friendly host

We had a lovely few days at this property. Very congenial host, Peter, was welcoming and helpful. The bach is right on the water and offers very peaceful outlook watching the tide come in. Loved the eclectic art collection and the wonderful array of cushions. My Labrador really enjoyed the garden which was fully fenced. A beautiful part of the world. Would go back.

Great getaway

A proper kiwi batch holiday everything everyone needs and away from everyone, had one of the best getaways I’ve had in years. The owners were just super people and made us feel welcome and looked after us. The daily outlook over nursery was pleasing on the eye, the beautiful greens and all the different trees and shrimps and things we really enjoyed our stay and will be looking to stay there again hopefully regards to everyone who thinks about it Ian

Very peaceful and enjoyable

Well supplied rustic house with interesting artwork. We enjoyed swimming and kayaking, and relaxing. Hosts were extremely kind, helpful, and friendly. The location is fairly remote but we loved the peaceful surroundings and being right on the edge of the estuary.

Once again - a Christmas to remember - quiet location, with a homely feel. Friendly hosts. Highly recommended if you want a real break away from reality and busy life. Even some fresh honey and fish thrown in. One of our favourite places to go

Relaxed family break

The location was lovely and the bach was exactly as expected. Pete was great to deal with - quick responses, friendly and helpful.The only thing I could recommend would be a good deep clean of the bach to improve the experience.Other than that, we loved our time there and are so grateful to Pete for his generosity.

Perfect spot

I organised this trip for my daughter and her friends as a 30th bday present. I joined them for a couple of days and didn't want to leave. The house has so much character. Perfect outdoor setting also to just be able to chill. The local beach was stunning.

Great Retreat

Peaceful, great swimming beach two minutes away, perfect for our dogs as the property was fully fenced, house was a little busy, a lot going on with different colours, patterns, pictures, but ok…..if you don’t mind. Great place for a family just wanting to chill. Shops only 30mins drive. We will definitely book again :)

Very comfortable

Very comfortable with all of the typical amenities you'd expect in bach-style accommodation. Admired the artwork and crochet. Our dog had a great stay too, great peace of mind with the fully fenced section. 4 stars on accuracy because I wasnt aware that the owners were living in the front half of the house, but we were self contained and it was unobstrusive. Gave great advice on fishing and were very helpful. I'd love to know where i can buy the thai tea!
