Little Gem

Perfect location & good old fashioned kiwi bach. Nothing like going to sleep with the sound of the waves crashing. Loved the outdoor shower after swimming in the sea. Will be returning!!!!

Cozy and cottagy

This is a proper old school bach but in great nick with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing escape. And so close to the beach you can listen to the waves as you fall asleep. It was pretty hard to leave!

Location, location, location!

The property is a well presented and appointed kiwi bach. It is literally metres from the beach, so you can come and go with ease. The property manager was really helpful, clear and responsive. I would recommend this property to others and would absolutely rent it again.
