About this property

Get back to simple off-the-grid living and detox from your hectic lifestyle of work & family commitments.
Relax on the deck with a book and listen to the ocean or watch the wild goats graze on the other side of the valley.
This cosy bach has everything you need to make your stay a holiday to remember!
With your power from a diesel generator this unique off-the-grid experience still brings you the luxury of hot water and cooking with gas.
You can enjoy a cool beer while using the BBQ on the deck overlooking the ocean.
The bach has 2 bedrooms with Queen size beds and a single mattress each and there is a fold down couch in the living area. A large dining table seats 8 people or maybe you will prefer to use the breakfast bar.
A log fire will keep you warm and cosy on those colder nights.
The bach comfortably sleeps 8 but please enquire if you have a larger family. The base rate is for up to 6 people then it's $25 per person, per night for extras.

Lovely break away

We loved staying here, very relaxing. Had everything you need. Kids had a blast on the secluded beach searching for crabs and hubby fishing. A 4wd vehicle would be best to get there, rather than a car.

Rugged coastline.

Two bedroom, sleeps 8. Good facilities, just up the track from beach. Plan carefully as its a long drive to shops. Not a safe swimming beach. Come prepared, fishing, reading, puzzles. No tv, no wifi. Off thd grid is great for a few days.

An amazing property and amazing owner!

Paula went above and beyond when customs delayed us by hours Paula was still very kind and patient with our delay. We didn’t arrange to the property till 9 pm where she met us at the front of the property happy and super nice. The Bach didn’t disappoint when we saw the beautiful area in the sun rise along with the black sand beach. 20/10 me and my family absolutely loved the time we were allowed to stay and want to thank Paula and her family for the amazing time!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Holmes

We are a farming family with 2 young children and when we aren't working we love to get to the bach and beach and enjoy the tranquil setting and also try a spot of fishing.

Why they chose this property

It is as peaceful as you want it to be. A true way to escape from your phone & commitments for a while and forget about stress. Enjoy the seaview from the deck or watch the resident wildlife in the valley. A great beach for a long walk or a spot of fishing. Rock pools for the kids to play in and crabs to hunt for.
