"Super friendly host. Thank you for the avocados. The orchard was beautiful to stroll. Vibrant house. Great views. Will come again. "

"This has been the best BookaBach stay we've had in many years. A beautiful cottage in the middle of the country. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked-amazing. The art work, done by the hosts told very real stories which resonated with me. If you're wanting a quiet stay, 25 minutes south of Whangarei, make this your No 1 choice."

"Lovely accommodating host. Provided fresh free range eggs and fruits from the property, and welcomed us to help ourselves to fruits/ veges from the garden and eggs from the chickens.Spa pool wasn't available while we were there, possibly due to the recent adverse weather conditions. Spacious home, possibly mid-reno in places so there's a mix of older and newer features - needed a little fiddling with the older shower to achieve a comfortable water temp.Plenty of space for 13 of us, kids loved running around outside. Overall, a great stay."

"The room was clean and comfortable. The owner was very friendly and helpful."

"Great location If you are visiting to see the Kai Iwi Lakes as it is close by. Bach nice and warm during the night, spacious lounge/ dining area and comfortable futon that could be used as an extra bed. Good oven with fully equiped kitchen. Downside would be the misleading listing. There is no bbq, no ocean view ,tv doesn’t work and we contacted the host however this was not resolved during our stay. Poor cleanliness, mold on curtains, dirty shower basin, crack on shower slider etc. Not sure if this place is cleaned between stays. lawn/outdoor area was not maintained but this may have been due to the wet weather. Seperate shower and toilet near front door entrance however the shower has no door just a curtain. We had to let everyone know not to use the toilet or front door during showers for privacy to change. Low water pressure and water would go cold. Did not know we needed to get council bags for rubbish during stay, would be nice if these were provided given we bring all our own linen - towels, blankets, sheets. Highly recommend to take photos/ videos at check in and check out and test everything works to let the host know. You should take a fan if you are going during a warm season and beach only accessible with 4WD unless you walk through stream however it’s contaminated. "
