Great location and a stunning coast line for a weekend getaway. House is excellent for a family with plenty of room regardless of the weather. A real sun trap.
Great location for a dive or surf casting.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bach, the beach was lovely with lots of treasures to be found by the kids, saw a couple of seals and the best part was the reading and relaxing, the only downside was, I wish we had more time there. Highly recommend this place
Simple with the great necessities... lovely location and nice layout!
We had an amazing time and everyone did too. It was a short before Christmas stay but the weather was amazing!
We had a short but lovely stay at Sam and Shane's place in Flat Point. The house is set in a very special location, miles from anywhere, with evening and morning views of the ocean.
Great time. Peaceful, enjoyed the birdsong around the house. Proximity to beach makes it easy to enjoy the sea/sunrise/set. Spacious bach with everything you need.
Great hosts!
We loved our time in this beautiful space - the location is incredible and the layout of the deck and rooms gives a bit of privacy from the other places. The people before us hadn't quite kept to the owners expectations re cleaning, which wasn't a major but was a shame. The owners were great to deal with; super responsive and clear communication. A great little getaway.
Our third stay at this magic spot. Great whare great location. Excellent hosts, very responsive.
Stunning views and very comfortable, beach and swimming spot close walk.
Neighbours are very friendly and if you are lucky you may be gifted a crayfish or other kaimoana
Will be back always get drawn back.
Open plan kitchen/living area, 3 bedrooms and separate rooms for the loo and shower/bath. Decks out front and back. Lovely view.
There’s a wood burner and loads of logs under the house. The house is fairly well insulated.
Shops are 90mins away in Carterton. Bring loo paper! Tap water is from a tank and had a bit of an odd taste, fine for kettle & washing up. We brought bottled water for drinking.
Kitchen has the usuals. We couldn’t get the BBQ to light so used long matches that we brought - not sure if matches supplied.
The gas for water heating ran out while we were there. The owner was quick to respond and told us how to switch to the other tank. Wind dial closed on existing tank (lighter), flick a switch and then wind dial open on other tank (heavier).
About 40 baches in the area with a few for sale. Not sure if there are any perm residents. The McGuiness family own 7000ha and subdivided for baches. Apparently the airstrip was built to save the son having to go to Masterton for flying lessons.
We couldn’t get a mobile signal but there’s internet (~30Mbps) via a microwave link to the hilltop.
Lots of paua shells on beach. Check tide times as walking easier at low tide. Walk access to beach via a path (right at the bach road T junction). The bach keyring has a red key for gate to drive onto the beach (over the single lane bridge & turn right).
Last 25km of gravel road was tedious. A bit hair raising on the final bit of road - down hill/narrow with bits washed away!
Our host was super responsive to our messages and provided clear instructions for the property. But, it was the location of the property that stood out. Perfect, secluded spot with friendly locals and prime beach access. Perfect getaway spot for some R&R.
A great time away with our whānau. Plenty of space for us all. Great communication and instructions. We did have abit of a hick up with our stay but the owners came out promptly to sort it. Beach is great. Views from the house are beautiful! 10/10
We had a fun and relaxing few days here. The house has lots of space indoors and the two decks outside. Easy access to the beach, and a comfy couches and window seats.
