Booking and communication with host was excellent. One bathroom and 4 x beds accessible only via ladder and multiple stairs, not suitable for mobility impaired individuals or large groups of adults. ##### Emma T. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Helen R. 12 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location We love this location, great community and beautiful beaches and bird life (Kaka and dotterel chicks) which brings us back frequently. This is a typical kiwi Bach with water restrictions due to tank water and very compact but fine for our party of 7 in nice weather with views to the ocean. Chattels need updating as no washing machine (that we could find) or lift (not that we needed one) and delays in communications with manager in regards to parking situation for trailer, keys etc but generally awesome stay and comfy beds. Super helpful and friendly neighbours. ##### Helen R.

This was a charming Bach in an unspoilt bay. A true place to get away from it all and get back to simple living. We heard kiwi in the surrounding bush at night. Thank you for a fantastic stay. ##### Carole M.
