Fishing Weekend Getaway

Have stayed here several times - comfortable beds and great kitchen set up. I’d suggest fans be made available in bedrooms - at this time of year rooms were uncomfortably hot. Air con in lounge is a huge plus. Thank you for a lovely getaway

Great place for chilling out with friends

Our group really enjoyed staying at this bach. There was plenty of room for all of us, both in terms of bedrooms, and even just on the couches in the living room, we could really sprawl out and not fight for space. Kitchen was good, pool table and air hockey downstairs, along with a second bathroom. Wifi worked well, and the table had great light for playing board games or doing puzzles.

Whanau gathering

House catered to all our needs. Lots of space inside and outside. Friendly neighbours and easy contact with the owner who is amazing. Highlight especially for our teenagers the ‘man’s cave’. Friendly tournament turned competitive with lots of banter, loud cackling / hyena laughs and tears of joy. Quality bonding time with whanau done well. Definitely look at booking again!

Excellent holiday

We had a fantastic stay at this property in January 2024. A games room for the kids kept them entertained in the evenings while we cooked dinners in a kitchen that had an air fryer, microwave, oven and stove top. The beds had new linen on them and were comfortable to sleep in. The house is warm and toasty, with an aircon to cool it down on the super hot days. 2 bathrooms with a large group makes it a great place to stay. Close by is a small dairy and takeaway shop. A short drive to the end of Te Puru Creek road has you at a fabulous waterhole for swimming. The property has heaps of linen and tea towels for kids to do washing up with. An excellent stay and we would definitely consider returning to this property!

Family Christmas/New Years

We had a wonderful stay the house was perfect for our needs, only down fall was the water issues we had problems with the water and pressure for the last 3 days, so we couldn't shower the pressure would drop and the water would stop half way through the shower. We followed the instructions given to us by the owner to put pump on and put the hose in the tank to fill up, but still had issues. Good communication with the owner though & the house did suit our needs, I think if the water/pressure is addressed then it would be perfect. Thank you

If we had of known there was an issue with pressure we would of come straight over to look at this and fix :) a new tank is on the way so hopefully this wont be an ongoing issue, thanks.
