Awesome location to be based from for the week. We were fishing everyday, having the small boat ramp on the section made launching easy.

This is a remote bach and therefore do not expect all the comforts of a major city but that is why we will continue to return. That and the outstanding scenerey, location, access to the epic fishing grounds including the harbour. I live in Whanganui and this trip is well worth the 14 hrs drive, towing a boat. Aware that sounds bizarre but if your a fisherman this location is paradise. Much appreciated to hosts. Lee ##### Lee T.

One morning the next door neighbour stopped by with some fresh caught fish and we also got to know the owner’s daughter who is a most interesting and wonderful person. Since last year, the floor as been refinished and a few historical photographs displayed. We enjoyed our stay so much that we plan to return next summer. ##### Gregory D.

Even though we are not fishermen, we enjoyed it very much. The views are peaceful and serene while the interior being quite comfortable and clean has the feel of a true bach. Much to our delight we got to know the owner who happened to know a friend of ours who lives in a nearby town and arranged a bit of a reunion for them. All and all, a treasured experience. We certainly hope to go back. ##### Gregory D.

It has an odd layout and it is not particularly clean. We did notice there were no flies or insects which was nice! It is a good idea to read all about it before you go and of course to follow instructions. It was fabulous having access to the harbour right there. ##### beth P. ### 8/10 Good #### Mammoth L. 10 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Very good ##### Mammoth L. ### 8/10 Good #### Max W. 14 Oct 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relax in the remote spot If you like a holiday away from everything, this is the spot.
