Pounding surf
Great to get back on the Coast and stay in a simple cosy bach. We had good weather so took advantage of the day walks and enjoyed the sound of the waves pounding on the rocks at night. A comfortable chair to read a book in would have topped it off (Hint ;).

Amazing spot and cute batch!
We had a fabulous time here. Amazing reading the history of this 100yr old home. So many people have left their holiday memories in the guest book here. Super clean, cute, nostalgic and has everything you need. Loved it! 😍

Authentic New Zealand Bach
This is having the authentic experience of a stay in a NZ Bach. Everything was in keeping. The sea was at war with the elements, the west coast drizzle was at it's best. Being able to go out and walk in the elements and then come back to a hot cuppa and a warm heater made it all complete. The bach is simplicity and yet appreciable. We had a much needed relax. Walking, exploring, playing cards. The Sunday markets at Fox River were worth the visit. Thankyou

Delightful character bach
We were totally charmed by this quirky but clearly much-loved and well-cared for family bach, with a long history. Despite being cosily small, the kitchen is well-equipped and provided everything we needed for a comfortable night's stay. We enjoyed looking at the many curious collections of kiwiana and other memorabilia on display and reading entries in the visitor's book, which was started many decades ago. Would definitely return, if in the area again.
