Simply Fantastic
Bach Boy Charlie was simply fantastic because of its incredible location, its one street down from a beach and a short 5 minute walk from a block of shops with a cafe for coffee and a decent fish and chip shop. The owner and host were friendly, yes would recommend

This was pleasant and comfortable place with plenty of room. Being an older property it had character. Well situated to the city and surrounding areas and in a quiet part of town with beach access and walks. Would recommend and would stay here again.

The location was good for what we wanted, however, when we arrived there was nowhere to put the rubb
The location was good for what we wanted, however, when we arrived there was nowhere to put the rubbish. The deck was a health and safety hazard and the wood was so rotten we felt it was very unsafe to use for the children (3&18mths) and us. The beds were not made and we had to search for pillows and sheets. There was no toilet rolls and the bathroom was unclean and we cleaning before we could use it. I was not going to put any feedback as I felt i didnt have much positive to say.

About the host

Hosted by Vayle

Host profile image
We are a active family that love to come and stay at bach boy Charlie when we can get an escape from regular life. We wanted a space to relax with friends and family.
We hope you enjoy Charlie as much as we do, want to return and treat Charlie just like your own.

Why they chose this property

We love the character and history of the area, Charlie is one of the original homes built on the shingle spit of Westshore and stayed standing after the 1930's earth quake that transformed Napier.
Awesome location for what ever you are into, there is something here for you.

What makes this property unique

Meet Charlie, hes a colourful character, a good old kiwi bach with location. Sheltered from the coastal breeze, still close enough to listen to the waves as you go off to sleep.
Walking distance to food and fun. :-)
