This little place was so stunning we thought our booking got mixed up!

Holy crap this is old school awesome and then some! I'm reluctant to tell everyone how amazing it is just to keep it quiet, but that would be uncool. Tucked away at the top end of Hahei this secluded little bach is about the best place we've ever stayed at. In bush, on water, private beach, walks, fishing, chilling, views for Africa and a deck to cry. I was altogether too happy. Currently re-booking.

A very basic, rustic bach in a lovely spot.

A very basic, rustic bach in a lovely spot. Needs major clean up and repair. Although we booked because of the description of seclusion, and own beach access. there was a raucous party next door for several days, and NO access to the beach. Very frustrating
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Jun, 2023
Thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback. Sue. We're glad you enjoyed the bach and its location! There are about 6 or 7 steps that lead to the beach from the property, but do need some maintenance. I've followed this up with our team who will be responding to you directly about this. Huge apologies, and appreciate your comments! - Phoebe

Loved being right on the water; a lovely peaceful, private position. Tricky having internal access to the second bedroom through the first, though not a problem in fine weather. The outside bathroom had no water when we arrived but the owners were instantly responsive and sorted out the problem as quickly as possible. We had visitors from Australia and we loved our time there.

A very great location right on the water in what is essentially your own private cove. A small boat ramp on site which is suitable for a 4wd car.

Location was lovely ;access road questionable for rental cars.

Location was lovely ;access road questionable for rental cars. Some furniture needed moving & cleaning behind as dead cockroaches were off putting!!! Bach was open on arrival & no instructions for lock up on departure.Also no instructions on when & where to leave rubbish.We had to find out.Not aware that the 2nd bathroom was outside;good job it wasn't raining during the night! for our UK visitors it was a bit basic!!!!

A true kiwi family Bach right on the waters edge and set on a private bush clad section on a family owned 54 acre property. The drive in to the Bach was all part of the adventure and added to the anticipation of seeing our very own piece of paradise right by the water (if only for a short time) - we will be back!

The place is really beautiful.

The place is really beautiful. You have essentially a private beach. The bach has a fully equipped kitchen. When using the burning stove make sure to lift the lever at the lower end of the exhaust pipe, otherwise tons of smoke will get into the house.
