Perfect getaway for re-uniting friends

For 3 couples this was so enjoyable. Plenty of space, great facilities, lots of activity...and we had great weather.One little hitch with the sit on kayak...has holes in it and started sinking with someone on it out in the middle of the bay.

Lovely family bach

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely family bach in Ngakuta bay. Location was great, right on the water, Ngakuta loop trail, and the link trail. We enjoyed the toys and game room. This is a classic kiwi bach and you need to bring your own sheets and towels. We did not hear back when we inquired about the possibility of renting linens. The property is what we expected from a kiwi back and we really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing location

Great place to stay for a long weekend getaway. House is very cool with lots of space to play and have quiet time if needed. Lovely big lawn to activities, kayaks and dinghy were great. Lots of toys books and dvds for rainy days. Pretty much all bases are covered! Such a special place highly recommend.

Perfect place for families

Our family loved staying at this bach. A short walk down to the jetty and beach for swims, kayaking available. Plenty of space in the lounge and two large deck spaces to sit out and enjoy a coffee. Felt really relaxing and we had a 2 & 3.5 year old with us! We would def recommend this place. Plenty of fridge and freezer space which would be helpful for longer stays. Nicky was prompt with communication too - thank you so much!

A lovely spot to spend a couple of days as it is close to Picton, good fishing and walks.

The property is ideal for a large family group. Bathroom although small was new and clean. Kids loved the outside hot shower. The rest of the property was quite tired and needed a good clean. Expensive for what it was.

Wedding Anniversary

Close to the water with amazing views, very private with plenty of activities both indoors and outdoors. Perfect weather on arrival and departure but unfortunately not good on our one full day at the bach so we didn’t get to use the dinghy or kayaks. It’s close proximity to Picton meant we could drive into town for dinner both nights.Overall we had an awesome time away and would love to return.
