Calm in the Middle of a Storm
Despite our stay at this iconic Kiwi Bach coinciding with Cyclone Gabriel, the location and the comfort of this wonderful family Bach plus the friendliness of the hosts and neighbours made our stay here very special indeed. We loved the long walks on the empty beach and the sounds of the Kiwis at night. So cool indeed. We would love to book again one day.....perhaps cyclone free! Thanks so much Pete and Tissi!

Dream holiday in classic Kiwi paradise
This is the best bach we've ever stayed in. Absolute paradise, in a quiet, gorgeous bay. The house is classic Kiwi bach style, with so much outdoor entertaining space. Even with rainy days, having the two covered outdoor areas meant you didn't feel stuck inside. Our two young kids were in absolute holiday heaven. The beach is only a short 2 min walk away, so you can set up at the beach and easily walk home to pick up lunch and supplies. You can hear the kiwis calling at night, and the stars were absolutely beautiful. Lovely hosts, great set-up, magic spot. We loved it.

10/10 location!
Stunning location for a beach escape! Couldn’t ask for better spot by the water. Loved the many outdoor seating options. Kitchen well equipped, some things needed a good scrub but otherwise easy to cook and prepare all your meals. We have young children so the third bedroom/bunk room was a little tricky to navigate with only an external door to deck which isn’t very clear on booking. There is an internal window which links to a double room though. Was quite dusty under beds so my sons allergies flared but not everyone will have such requirements. The fale was a highlight, superb spot to watch the sun setting and enjoy a glass of wine when kids finally go to bed. Definitely wanted to stay longer! Thanks for great communication prior and during stay. Lovely spot

Great quite beach spot.
Lovely wee old Bach. Bathroom has been renovated. Has a heat pump but needs two more heaters in the bedroom and fan in the bathroom. Was cold in bedrooms at night in Autumn. Handy access to beach, lovely neighbours and water toys to play with. Would be perfect in the warmer Months.

We had a wonderful 5 days with our family in this perfect spot. The location is absolutely gorgeous and so glad we found it, just stunning. The accommodation is clean and lovely and has everything you need for a wonderful stay. The extra outdoor toilet and shower was very handy with a family of 6 adults. Beds very comfortable. Lay at night listening to kiwis calling. Thank you for our wonderful holiday.

About the host

Hosted by PeteH1

Host profile image
We are a local family who have enjoyed this beach for many years and when the opportunity arose to purchase a piece of this paradise we did!
Our family of seven children has grown over the years to include partners and grandchildren. The family use the Bach as much as possible and every second year at Christmas we all get together for two weeks of fun!

Why they chose this property

We bought the property because I grew up on a nearby farm and so this whole area means a lot to all of us.

What makes this property unique

Large decks both sides of the bach to enjoy early morning sun or the setting sun.
