Short stay before Christmas

Awesome location. I think this was the first time we have had a family holiday where there was so much going on with the tides always changing and the kids doing so much we didn’t even explore what was nearby. Just enjoyed the sea and the beach! Incredible location and cool to see if a family batch.

Family holiday

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bach invited us to relax and slow down.The kayaks were perfect for an early morning paddle or a high-tide afternoon adventure. It was easy to cross to the other side and experience the rugged beauty of the ocean beach.Beautiful kiwi batch.

Summer Relaxing to the max

This is such a relaxing and beautiful area, the property is funky, homely and great for a group of friends or a family. We really enjoyed waking up to the sparkling estuary right in the backyard and kayaking out around the bay. Also love the indoor outdoor flow and the covered, entertaining area with the heater is lush! Would certainly recommend and stay again. Thank you.

The best get away for my whanau at the Emoji. Thank you David for letting us take care of your bach for the Easter weekend. As usual we did not want to leave. Great memories for our babies. And so very relaxing. Darts was a hit for us with a few coldies. Beautiful. We love it here!

Perfect Location.

We had two families staying along with our dog! A perfect spot. Right on the water. The kids especially enjoyed the kayaking, dart board and outdoor warm shower! Enough room for everyone. Our dog had the time of his life too. Warm and cozy. Close to the boat ramp, lots of fishing and diving! Kids loved jumping off the bridge. Will definitely come back.

Fabulous winter break with whanau

We enjoyed a fabulous week with awesome winter weather, cold nights & sunny days. Heaters kept us cosy in the right places at night with plenty of bedding. Our group enjoyed the privacy of the sleepouts. Well equiped in all ways and the location is absolutely stunning. Loved using the kayaks in the safe estuary and sitting at the waters edge watching the bird life. David thankyou for sharing your special piece of paradise with excellent arrival notes and useful details on boating. We had great days fishing and water-skiing.

Quaint cottage

Nice little property. However a couple of concerns. Advise renters of dogs next door. Cockroaches in Family cabin ( was’nt pleasant). Lamp bulbs in family cottage not working Second room in main cottage had a funny smell. Noises in the walls at night. I’d say mice are in the walls. I love the location and the family enjoyed being together
