Lovely spot by the dunes
Only stayed for the night but wish we could have stayed for longer.
It's a characterful and surprisingly roomy bach with enough kitchen space to cook for our group of six.
The dunes are definitely worth seeing, really beautiful.

Fantastic Location – Quintessential Kiwi BachWe had an amazing time in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend both the location and the property! Don’t come expecting high-end luxury, but rather a cozy, welcoming Bach with plenty of character. There are lots of games and fun activities available for all.Extra highlights included driving on the sand dunes, boogie boarding at the beach and stunning views from the cliff walk – so much fun!Extra Notes:A must-do: Nikau Caves, about 40 minutes south of Port Waikato – an incredible experience.Limited services in Port Waikato, so plan ahead. The nearest supermarket is about a 20–25 minute drive away.

Amazing memories
This batch is very cute and homey. They had a good amount of beds to accommodate everyone. Whilst the place may look small, I assure you that it felt anything but that. The amazing view and direct connection to the sand dunes, river, and beach, were amazing. A few things to mention though is that the front yard from the road is a bit unkept and the key box was a bit of a search to find, but other than these small issues everything was great. Thanks to this batch I was able to create such amazing memories with friends and family. Thank you to the hosts for being a part of such an amazing trip.
