Cute kiwi bach
Authentic kiwi Bach for a short holiday from Australia. It was clean, tidy and good facilities. David was easy to communicate with and offered a late check out which was amazing.

Quaint cottage
Nice little property. However a couple of concerns. Advise renters of dogs next door. Cockroaches in Family cabin ( was’nt pleasant). Lamp bulbs in family cottage not working Second room in main cottage had a funny smell. Noises in the walls at night. I’d say mice are in the walls. I love the location and the family enjoyed being together

Fabulous winter break with whanau
We enjoyed a fabulous week with awesome winter weather, cold nights & sunny days. Heaters kept us cosy in the right places at night with plenty of bedding. Our group enjoyed the privacy of the sleepouts. Well equiped in all ways and the location is absolutely stunning. Loved using the kayaks in the safe estuary and sitting at the waters edge watching the bird life. David thankyou for sharing your special piece of paradise with excellent arrival notes and useful details on boating. We had great days fishing and water-skiing.

Perfect Location.
We had two families staying along with our dog! A perfect spot. Right on the water. The kids especially enjoyed the kayaking, dart board and outdoor warm shower! Enough room for everyone. Our dog had the time of his life too. Warm and cozy. Close to the boat ramp, lots of fishing and diving! Kids loved jumping off the bridge. Will definitely come back.

Emoji Pataua South you Beauty!
The best get away for my whanau at the Emoji. Thank you David for letting us take care of your bach for the Easter weekend. As usual we did not want to leave. Great memories for our babies. And so very relaxing. Darts was a hit for us with a few coldies. Beautiful. We love it here!

A great spot for our 4 day holiday. We had 6 adults, 3 couples, two dogs. Beds in outhouse were put together to make a ‘Queen’ size. The ‘kids’ got use to it. Perfect for walking. Great for our dogs. Fabulous for our family.

Summer Relaxing to the max
This is such a relaxing and beautiful area, the property is funky, homely and great for a group of friends or a family. We really enjoyed waking up to the sparkling estuary right in the backyard and kayaking out around the bay. Also love the indoor outdoor flow and the covered, entertaining area with the heater is lush! Would certainly recommend and stay again. Thank you.

Beautiful seaside stay
We had a wonderful birthday celebration for my husband with the family. There was an issue with the power when we arrived due to the power providers updating some equipment but David was very responsive in helping us to sort it out . The sheltered location was perfect for its beauty and proximity to the water for older and younger family members . We enjoyed using the kayaks and found the accommodation very comfortable.
