We had a restful time at in this picturesque spot. The close proximity to the beach was exactly what we were looking for. Our hostess was friendly, checked on us to see if we needed anything and made our stay very comfortable. Definitely will be coming back.

A lovely spot on the coast with amazing views and 2 min walk down to the beach. We should have booked for longer than one night. Rosalie was an awesome host, gave us loads of advice and was always ready to help.

Awesome place to stay! Amazing views! Just a short walk to the beach. Very friendly property manager. Had the best weekend! Kids loved swimming at the beach! Also a nice safe river for the kids to swim in. Fishing wasn't the best the weekend we went. We will be back for sure!

The bach location is remote, overlooking a pristine NZ beach with very few people, which was just what I was after. Bach is within 100m of the beach. The owner is helpful, responded promptly to my emailed queries, even while coping with a bunch of other challenges, and we enjoyed our stay.

Property is perfect for a couple or small family. Easy to get to beach, great view from house. Rosalie is friendly and generous, but not obtrusive. Remember to bring everything you need. Porangahau shop is 20km away over a metal road. Bring kayaks or body boards.
