"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the bach. The view is stunning, the wildlife enchanting and Julia was the perfect host. The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds very comfy, and the place was spotless. The local beaches are heavenly and well worth an explore. I'd definitely recommend this bach to anyone wanting to chillout and slow down, and we'd definitely stay again."

"Has everything you need and more. Tucked away down a cul-de-sac. An awesome deck overlooking the bay, with a BBQ for those summer nights (and winter). Plenty of outdoor space for family & close to the beach for those early AM walks. Would definitely stay again."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. It had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. It was clean and tidy with easy access to Matapouri Beach, Whale Bay and the local dairy. It was well equipped with activities and board games for entertaining the teenagers on rainy days, and there was plenty of room for us all to spread out, both indoors and outdoors. We would definitely stay there again."

"From booking through to exiting the batch, everything went like clockwork. The shower had such good pressure, the two toilets was a great idea. We sat on the front deck during the day when the sun was out and ventured round the back deck after dinner with the gas burner going outside, with the fairy lights and toast marsh mellows too. The kids were safe playing out the back to kick the ball around and chase bubbles, if they didn't want to play on the beach which is at your front door. This was...

"The reviews about this special place are accurate. With a large family group coming and going from the beach, it was easy. When you book this place you are gaining an experience, and unique memories. The hosts set the benchmark for being hospitable and accomodating. We all began talking about when we were planning to come back before we even left."

"We had an amazing Easter break at Sandy Bay, the house is ideal for a group with 2 entirely separate areas, and all amenities included. We surfed and swam every day. The location is 10/10 being directly opposite the beach - you can hear the waves crashing at night and the view is magnificent. It is quiet, private and roomy. We would love to return soon. Nat is a very responsive and organised host - thanks Nat."

"Lovely bach, excellent location. Would love to make a suggestion to have some pedestal fans available to use at night for sleeping, it’s such a nice warm bach but unbearable for sleep…….we wished we’d brought our own fans. Also Bachcare sent us the wrong lockbox code but we’re lucky they answered the phone with the first call and rectified the problem. Thankyou to the owners for renting out their home so people like us can have a summer holiday at the best location!!"
