Great spot, great beach.

We had a beautiful stay, getting together with friends and family to remember my brother on his anniversary. Beautiful house, beautiful beach. Right next door to the sands motel if you require further accommodation. We found the early check in fee a little steep, and cameras onsite but other than that pure perfection

Go to sleep with sound of waves

Lovely beach and fabulous position. The bach has all you need and you can comfortably swim at low tide (don't have to go a long way out and still sandy underfoot). We didn't use downstairs so note review is for a couple only using just the upstairs (only one bedroom upstairs).

A Perfect Stay

This place is absolutely perfect. The location is beautiful and the owners clearly take pride in their holiday home. The house contains everything one might need and the instruction booklet on site is detailed and easy to follow. The location is ideal with easy beach access, a general store a 5 minute drive away and Ngunguru fish and chips 10 minutes away. The house is perfect for kids and it was safe for our special needs son. Communication was excellent and we really can't thank the hosts enough for a great family holiday.

Great location and perfect for our two little families. The kids could come and go freely from the beach, and we could keep an eye on them at all times. The bach had everything you need for a weekend away.
