Had such an amazing time! The place was so peaceful, and the stars at night were unreal. The accommodation was pretty basic, but for the price? Totally worth it! Everything was clean and tidy, just don’t forget to bring your own bedding or a sleeping bag. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a chill spot, and I’ll definitely be back!

The cottage hides in a stunning farm overlooking the river and the beach. We enjoyed the most was watching the sunset by the campfire on the beach and also the wake-up calls of the birds. Great place for a family escape.

Wonderful to be phone and tech free! The Bach a relaxing place to stay. Great star-gazing with zero light pollution, a great break from the hassles of daily life. Thanks for having us, we will return 😊

Nice basic little bach. No large pots in the kitchen, so if you're chasing crayfish, it might pay to take your own.

Real kiwi Bach, could do with a new second hand couch as it was very uncomfortable. All in all a neat ace to stay.

We love the location and the rustic batch. Georgina looked after us even though she is busy running a farm and a family. We felt welcome. The access to river and sea is unbeatable! The scenery and being on a working farm were the perfect refuge from regular life. Loved it.
