Rooms with an excellent view

It suited us perfectly - a bach with character & everything we needed, only birds & cattle as neighbours & a fantastic view to wake up to plus spectacular sunsets to finish each day. Recommend pottering into Mōkau for coffee & a browse around the museum.

I have mixed emotions about giving a great review for this place cause I don't want anyone else to know about it so that we can just stay whenever we want. But since this isn't really fair this is one of the better places that I've stayed at and everything we wanted was at our fingertips the only thing missing was a microwave but other than that we're looking forward to our next trip there.

Great kiwi bach

We had a lovely time staying in Awakino at the bach. The breathtaking views of the ocean and Mt Taranaki were an added bonus and the bach itself had so much more space than expected. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Awakino weekend away

This is the second time I've started here at Fairview Bach. Love the location, which is away from everything. Enjoyed a cosy fire in the main room, went for a beach walk in Mokau, had a nicer night at the pub. There is a van available for pick up and drop off which we made use of, was great!

Awakino gem

Perfect spot blending lush pasture land, panoramic ocean views, and outstanding fiery sunsets! With Mt Taranaki rising through the morning mist and the Awakino River rising and falling with tides, this is a gem in the Aotearoa crown. The bach was very comfortable with all the charms of rustic living. The host was very accommodating when we added another day to our stay.I would definitely stay again if in the area, and for a lot longer than the few days I had.

Stunning space

Everything about this spot and stay was seamless and stunning. The views, the location, the ability to still work (I was on a work trip) and have reception was an extra bonus. The host was great to communicate with and there was everything we could need. So happy the fire was stoked and ready to roll. Despite being so high up and a heritage building.. the newly installed joinery meant the heat was not lost at all through the night and it was a really comfortable and safe stay. Appreciate the opportunity to stay in your wonderful spot!

Lovely views. Pllace a little run down needs TLC. Curtains bathroom floor wiring and outside appearance. Driveway needs a little attention. All this is related to what we paid.
