We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it’s been the most peaceful, laid back experience we could have hoped for. Bach was perfect for us, had everything we needed and plenty of space to lounge about. Our hosts were accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed a wonderful meal with their compliments. First on our list when we return.

Our stay at Motupipi was an incredible memory, from start to finish. Our hosts welcomed us, spoiled us, and provided detailed information so that nothing was left to guess or to chance. We enjoyed relaxing, fishing, kayaking, and sampling NZ wines on the deck. Truly, a special place which we will not forget.

We had an amazing family stay in this beautiful piece of paradise and only wish we had booked for longer.Had an amazing time with kids kayaking around the inlets, fishing, coffee at the waters edge, a wine on the deck in the evening, watching and listening to the local birdlife including kiwis at night.A huge thank you to the Starr family and a special shout out to Hamish and his friendly dog Shaky for sharing their magical place with us and going the extra mile to make it truly special.We wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay next time we are in the Northland region
