This is a great place to stay, the bach is a absolutely fantastic 10 out of ten. The rooms are stunning and so comfortable and the location is great. Our workers needed to stay two nights to do a job in Mahia. Hayley worked with us to make it happen with ease. Thanks so much.

Perfect

Beautifully set in a quiet private location though walking distance to the beach. Warm, inviting home. Comfy beds, amazing shower. The kitchen had everything you need for a home away from home. Large, airy and bright. Hayley is a great host, easy communicator , we never felt like we were on our own if we needed anything. We would stay again and again and again., couldn't have asked for a more perfect place 👌 😍.

Fully equip, comfortable and clean

My family and I stay in the house over the labour weekend and it was above a d beyond our expectations! Clean, fully equip, and so comfortable. I especially loved the small details thats made a huge difference to our stay, like containers for left over food, liquid soap, shampoo and conditioner in the showers, and baking paper and glad wrap. Very well thought of. A beautiful layout and cozy home. Highly reccommended..

I needed somewhere to care for our kuia who is not very well. Who hadn’t been home to Mahia for a long long time. Which would suit her. She had her own ensuite. The home was easy to access and clean. Very warm home there was heating provided for the chilly mornings. Beautifully presented. We were comfortable especially our Kuia.
