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!

We stayed here for 2 weeks and loved it!! I've got 4 kids aged 4 - 15 years. There were things for all of them to do. There is a good selection of games and toys for all ages. We enjoyed the pool table too. It's a beautiful spot - great for fun in the sun!

Beautiful spot
The bach is perfect for large family or group gatherings. I was there with my two sisters for a quiet weekend away without kids and we absolutely loved it - but all thought we would love to return with our families sometime. Clean and tidy with everything you need. Three decks with outdoor tables/chairs/umbrella to catch the sun or shade, whichever you prefer. A large seperate lounge with piano, pool table and tv for evenings or rainy days. We enjoyed rowing around the bay in the dingy, swimming from the jetty, and the local walks. Definitely recommend!

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Oct 2022
It is stated in the property details that linen is not supplied and after your phone call I arranged for sheets to be provided at no cost to you. There is a cupboard full of extra blankets and duvets in the main bedroom and a heat pump and fireplace you were welcome to make use of.

The house has plenty of room, and lots of toys, books, games, etc plus pool table and kayaks. House is not new, and a few things not working properly, but very comfortable. Big section stretching down to the water’s edge. Good bush walks very close.

Family Reunion in Ngakuta Bay
We had a wonderful stay for 3 nights. The family room and toys were well used by our grandchildren. The bedroom spaces allowed for cousins to be together, and parents to be with babies. We appreciated the use of the portacot. There is plenty of hot water. The batch has a relaxing atmosphere and lovely outlook. We would like to come back one day. Thank you Nicky

Great Kiwi Family Bach
Love Ngakuta and this Bach was perfect fior our family group of six adults. Lots of space to spread out, play pool, sit on the deck or wander down to the waterfront. Across the road is the Link Pathway and just 2 minutes to boat ramp. A lovely relaxing time was had by all. Thanks for sharing your family Bach with us.

Well appointed house with spectacular views!
We were thrilled with this property. It was actually better appointed than the ad displayed which always a lovely surprise. Adults and teens alike loved the pool table, and the adult beds were very comfortable. Some of the single mattresses weren't quite as comfortable, but no one really complained. The views and location were the standout though- absolutely spectacular! We were very sad to leave.

FAmily Holiday At Ngakuta Bay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ngakuta Bay. The house was really great. Spacious, comfortable, well equipped and very private. I enjoyed getting out for a kayak every morning. Our only glitch was with bedding. The listing stated a double and king bed but they turned out to be a Queen and a Californian King so our sheets didn't fit.

Honeymoon Relaxing
We enjoyed our stay at the lovely Ngakuta batch. Unfortunately the weather didn’t turn it on for us, but we did up our pool skills and watched some TV. Boat ramp a few mins away was fine even at low tide. Great location and scenery - although there were definitely a few mossies so insect repellant is a must.

2nd stay
We stayed here a couple of months ago and we were keen to repeat our great 1st time visit. Straight forward booking and property as expected. It's a typical old style bach, just in need of a bit of a freshen up. Plenty to do if that's what you want. Likewise, lots of space to just hang out and relax if that's what you're after.
