Had a great stay over NY. Bach is close to the shop, pun, beach and playground - all within walking distance. Loved being able to shut the gate and have kids run about outside. Rooms were hot when weather was hot but learnt to put air cond on on the hot days a couple of hours before bed and this helped. Thanks for a great stay!

Laid-back beach vibe

Cozy batch conveniently located near Mahia beach, local restaurant and dairy. We had a great time. And the deck allows for lots of time in relaxing in the sun with views of the ocean.

Mahia Fishing comp weekend

We stayed here for the mahia fishing competition weekend. House was ideal for our group of 4. Was a short walk to the fishing club/beach/shop and had space to park the boat off the street. Would definitely be keen to stay here again!
