Tranquility and comfort

The perfect place to unwind and recharge your batteries. The peace and quiet only broken by the visiting birds. The beach is great for swimming and kayaking, fishing off the rocks is very enjoyable. The property is extremely comfortable with all amenities you need for a wonderful break. The host is easy to communicate with and prompt to reply. This was the perfect venue for our extended family to have a great break. We will be returning.

Amazing

The perfect spot to unwind with family! Property was clean and Tidy and suitable for kids. We took the kayaks for a paddle, fished at the end of the wharf, went swimming and enjoyed a few of the local kauri tree walks. Great holiday spot. Thank you for letting us share your Bach!

Comfortable bach with amazing views and great location

We chose this location because we were able to book two bach's side by side for our extended family holiday. We loved the location with it's private beach and boat ramp right outside. Our kids had an awesome time using the kayaks and exploring the surrounds. The bach itself was cosy and comfortable with everything we needed.

The delight to see it the same, was awesome, the closeness to the beach our old realities managed the stairs and walk easily. The Californian Quail waiting at the v=back door when we woke was a delete, nicely furnished, well appointed, loved doing the linen extra this time!! Thanks we will be back !

Easter Break Fishing Trip

Wonderful bach. Had everything you need. We fished at the mussel farms and surrounds each day. Launching and retrieving the boat was easy enough at the bottom of the driveway - we have a 6.5 metre runabout. Nikki was fantastic to deal with.

Awesome spot. Would stay again for sure. Outside Rubbish’s bins we’re full when we got there so felt sink to put our two bags on ground. Hope the cats didn’t get in to them.

Great spot - cozy home

We had a great stay, house was cozy and the fire was already laid when we got there. Toys in the cupboard for our little ones. Climb the hill up the back (it isn’t too steep just weaves) it’s an incredible view. We arrived in the dark and couldn’t find the driveway easily (you drive right up to the grey house on the waterfront and then the driveway leads to the right). Beautiful spot, we fished off the wharf and had dinner at a pub in Coromandel. Thanks for a lovely thoughtful stay.
