Fabulous Beach Front Bach

Great Kiwiana bach right on the beach with a fantastic view from main bedroom, dining and kitchen. We very much enjoyed our two days even if the weather was a bit inclement. Fireplace and heatpump made it very cosy. The bach has everything you need.

Mum can relax to !Caught a few fish straight out from the batch at high tide on our last evening.

Winter getaway

Perfect place for a bit of R and R, especially as the weather was crap while there. First day was fab sitting on deck in the sun, last day would have been good too, murphys law. Dog had a ball on the beach as did we and meeting people and dogs. The old school house good for a meal and chat. Thankfully we hd a fire which made a diff, nice and toasty as was pretty cold for a few days. Had everything we needed, would be happy to go back again.
