The Bach was fine, the BBQ was not really use able.

The Bach was fine, the BBQ was not really use able. Location really good for boating and fishing, not so good for lazing on the beach, due to boat ramps placed every 20 or so meters didn't feel it was safe for the children to swim, no shops/dairy within walking distance. Had a fabulous day trip to kawau Island and enjoyed the bay views from the deck.

We loved our stay at Family Ties.

We loved our stay at Family Ties. The house is cute and comfortable and very close to the beach! We took our two dogs and the house was well set up for them with a baby gate across the top of the stairs. It was excellent value for money!

First time stay at Algies Bay...and loved it

Perfect little get away for our family of 7 plus toddler and 2 dogs, as we like a more traditional bach accommodation. Met by owner Don, who was gracious despite our lateness, and he provided a splendid overview of the area (which is stunning). We had a wonderful time
