Great bach getaway, away from the crowds.
Spacious bach, clean and tidy. Great quiet place to base ourselves to explore the area. Beautiful location, just a shame its not really a swimming beach. Otherwise it was a great place to relax.

Great beachfront location, mattresses need replacing
After a bit of trial and error to find the correct driveway to the bach (it was hidden by a large flax bush), we arrived a very clean and tidy bach. All the kitchen amenities were on offer and there was no shortage of space to spread out. Our one negative was that the mattresses in all but the master suite are in dire need of replacement. They may do for young children but are not suitable for adults. Would highly recommend this property so long as the mattresses are replaced.

Good location and cosy house but terrible beds/mattresses
We enjoyed the house and location but dreaded going to bed! Noisy, uncomfortable bed and mattresses ruined half the holiday. Ended up getting stiff neck and back pain instead of complete relaxation. Otherwise, the location is fantastic and so is the property. Bachcare host was friendly and very helpful. We would love to visit again once beds, mattresses are upgraded.

New , clean property with easy access to beach.
New , clean property with easy access to beach. Lovely peaceful rural area. Some difficulty with internet connection. Would like to suggest adding a microwave and dishwasher for convenience and better quality pillows, but table tennis great and also the barbeque!
