The house is clean, comfortable, and across the street from the sea. In the morning, the street is busy with boat launches and tourists going onto whale watching cruises but the house provides an idyllic nighttime experience stargazing while sitting on deck chairs looking out over the sea/ocean.

Clean and comfortable however the location is a few km from the town centre and the wake up at 4am with fishing boats going out is a little hard to take when on holidays

Great stay! Had a great time and the place was really cool. Great to be so close to the marina and watch the boats coming and going. Was great to be able to bring the dog as well- although not fully fenced. Great stay and thanks for sharing your bach with us!

Overall good on arrival but a total power failure and no back up on the first morning left us with no alternative but to leave. We are seeking a refund for the second day, but your Web site does not seem to cater for this eventuality.

The South Bay Getaway

Relaxing and comfortable holiday home in South Bay with beautiful views of the sea. Welcoming, helpful and friendly host. Loved watching boats loading off and on the ramp opposite and walks around the bay.

What a wonderful stay, great location, warm and cosy, friendly correspondence.We came to bring my elderly Mother and Aunty to visit the area where they had a bach as children. A typo in a message from Raylene had us arrive at 2 Moa Rd, we found out later that day that was the site of the old bach.
