Comfortable, has everything one needs for a quiet relaxing holiday and close to a beautiful beach

We enjoy a holiday place that is comfortable and quaint and full of character and that’s exactly what we got. The quilt on the wall was superb! And the art work everywhere was lovely. The new heater warmed up the place very quickly. We lived sitting out on the decks and the garden at the back. Beautiful setting and the beach was amazing. So peaceful. Just one suggestion would be to add thermal curtains to keep out the chill in the winter. Thank you. We hope to be back to enjoy your place again.

Great location, close to the beach! We loved the deck out the front and the back. Would happily recommend staying here. Note that cellphone reception is patchy inside the house.

Thankyou Mandy for such a lovely holiday destination.

Thankyou Mandy for such a lovely holiday destination. The A-frame bach was very clean and tidy and packed with atmosphere and charm. So much personality has been added with pictures and ornaments. The location was excellent, with the beach a very short walk away, as was the shop. While small, this bach has everything you need as a base to explore the beautiful surroundings. We recommend it and will return one day

We had rain during our stay, but we were happy to stay in this house with our toddler. It's a cosy holiday house, with a nice garden, very well located.

What a beautiful place to spend a few days in late summer.

What a beautiful place to spend a few days in late summer. The house is filled with character - you get the sense that it has been the site of many happy summer holidays over the years. The beach is just a short stroll away (you could make it in less than a minute). And there is everything you could possibly need for a wonderful stay, particularly if you're well organised and bring plenty of food. We'll be back next year (although maybe with some extra mosquito repellent!)

Perfect Kiwi bach experience

Perfect spot to relax for a weekend away from the city. The house is incredibly charming, we loved all the tasteful crafts and art. Early morning swims in the crystal clear water at Whangapoua then around the rocks to New Chums for the afternoon. Stunning weather, beautiful bird song, I can't recommend this place enough. We will be back for sure. Paradise!

Kiwiana bach

Perfect for a short stay. Only negatives for us were the sandflies and mosquitoes but a candle repellent took care of that. Loved all the arts & crafts! Mandy was very prompt in getting back to us re any queries and was very obliging
