Perfect bach!
Everything about the bach was perfect. It's clean, spacious; has stunning view; beds were comfy, etc., It's close to everything. Short drives to Whangarei and beaches. We absolutely had the best time and Steve made sure of that. Thank you very much Steve and hopefully we can go back soon :)

Fishing was good from private jetty
Beware owner's dog if you go to the jetty - unfortunately it scratched our cars and scared our kids
Good value stay otherwise

Nice and quiet, and away from neighbours so it felt like a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoyable, and would gladly stay again.
The view and sunny surround was absolutely amazing, as was the stroll down to the jetty.
The house does provide all necessary cooking and living amenities to make the stay comfortable. However a coffee table would be really useful as there is no where to put your drink while watching tv.
Absolutely fantastic that the property is pet friendly which is why we booked but it probably needs to be aired out before guests arrive as there was a really strong dog smell when we arrived. After airing the house during our 2 day stay the smell was gone by the time we left, and we also had a small dog as well.
There is, understandably, a security camera watching the entrance. Although it provides security it should probably be mentioned in the listing for awareness.

The property was great with all the facilities to cook food and wash and dry clothes. Very quiet with outstanding views as the property is located up high on a mountain. The road conditions to the property from the main town were ok with about 20 minutes of steady driving and only a small bit of gravel road for about 6 minutes driving slow.
If you need groceries get them before driving out.
Make sure you notify the manager if driving to the river and wharf on the property. The road to the wharf is gravel and quite steep and takes between 5 to 10 minutes slowly in dry conditions. The path down to the wharf is very steep

Not Great
Really third world! Shower was dirty and shower mat dirty.
Spare blankets were smelly and not clean. Minimum of cutlery and crockery made meals a hassle for our group. Only two hand towels. No hooks to hang towels in the bathroom. Only one reading light per double bed - tough luck for the unlucky partner.
There is nowhere in the spare room to hang anything, nor even a bench to place bags or clothes on.
Owner extremely rude to one guest for not texting him before going down to the jetty. Totally unacceptable!
The advert states that there was access to the jetty but there seemed to be a problem about us going there.

Dissappointed
We are very keen on fishing and booked this accommodation as it included a private jetty, which we expected would have unlimited access for us to enjoy our fishing whenever we chose too. This however is not the case it is restricted access controlled by the host, in that you must text him, every time prior to using the jetty to get permission due to what he deems as health & safety issues!! I would of thought having paid in advance for the week, any health & safety issues would have been addressed prior to guests arrival. I spoke to the host on the Monday and asked whether we could take a look at the jetty to which he replied no, but if it didn't rain overnight it would be fine the next day to go down. We attempted to do this, however when we got to his house which you have to pass to get to the jetty he came out and became quite animated raising his arms in the air, rolling his eyes and shrugging his shoulders (because we hadn't texted even though I had spoken to him the day before) which my wife and I considered rude. The excuse of health & safety issues regarding the jetty is ironic given health & safety issues with the actual accommodation don't seem to matter e.g broken light switch, masking tape around the wiring on the lights in the lounge and dining area, chipped crockery, split in chopping board and raised pieces of decking
Restricted access to the jetty should be made clear in the booking information, if we had known this we would not have booked this holiday

Art and ocean
The house is very comfortable with 2 good sized bedrooms and big living/dining areas. There are some beautiful pieces of art and an excellent book collection. The view is amazing and the property has some hidden gems. We were here for 3 nights and loved every minute. Host is great!

Stunning views and all you need
Had a delightful stay at this place. It is a little off the beaten track so to speak, so for exploring there’s a little bit more to do but the surrounding area is breathtaking, the house is ideal for a small family of couple, everything you need. Such a great couple of nights here.
