Very cozy (we had a storm the first night). Wood burner was great, plenty of wood tho' we were short on paper to light it with. Great being so close to the water. Rest of weekend was great weather, Such a great spot. Lighthouse very visible in the full moon light!.A nice mix of fresh & new and 'original' bach - the bedrooms. They were smallish but fine for what we needed. Great that the bach was not over decorated with kiwiana. Lots of comfortable seating & a big table. We would reccommend it. ##### Sue B.

It was clean, sunny, warm at night and so handy being just across the road from the beach. However what let this stay down was the extra costs for linen and people staying…There was only 4 of us staying in this 3 bedroom bach and 2 of us only stayed 1 out of the 2 nights and we were charged an extra 170 for linen plus 2 guests. I understand there is usually a little cost for extras like a cleaning fee (which we had already prepaid) but this was unnecessary. I have never had to pay that much extra at any other home stay before. They have done such an amazing job with the place but this left us all a little disappointed. ##### Sommer B.

Bright, light, and sunny, the best thing about it is the sea at the doorstep. You hear the waves at night, see them first thing when you get up, and then walk just a few steps over the road to plunge into them for a swim. The bach is warm too with a really efficient log burner so we were cosy at night. This is our go to place for a few days of real refreshment and pleasure. The sea, the rocks, the hills for climbing, spectacular views from so many angles. It’s a winner. ##### Keren C.

This is very much an old kiwi bach, very warm and cosy with the fire lite on a cool autumn days. Note bring all consumables, hand soap, tea, coffee etc. Don't forget hand towels and bath matt, toilet paper, paper towels etc. ##### Trudy T.

Whilst the location was what we wished on the beach front and close to things things went down hill The agent for the home was very accommodating in trying to fix things but cut holiday short after the rat. On arrival multiple mice seen and in things in cupboard toaster and plates. Unit manager bought new items and wiped surfaces. Proceeded to catch more mice through stay. Not a fan of such things. Then traps went missing and found under the cupboard with a bigger variety running away. The furniture outside is rotten and broken the seat is by door and catch leg on rotten board Shower not draining well floods around feet Quiet hard to get in and out of with limited mobility and the step against toilet on angle Understanding a bach but needs work to rent out to ensure a nice stay. Overall not recommending this place. Whilst re received a $50.00 refund the night we arrived for the mice we had a ruined holiday after the rat we left ##### debbie r. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ---
