Fantastic waterfront location
The standout aspect of this property is its location on the water and the wide views of the harbour from the house. It is something special! The bach has everything that you need and the setup of the bach is well considered.

Stunning views
This bach is beach front - though the beach is very shelly. It is very comfortable, has many extras and is quiet. It offers total relaxation and privacy. I would really recommend it.

Great Stay, Prime Location
Had a wonderful stay. Whare (the home) was clean and had everything we needed. Location was perfect, only a few steps out the door and we were enjoying time on the kayaks and paddle board with our moko. Treina and Jack were awesome and flexible and made this a great stay. Would definitely recommend to whanau and friends.

Everything you could ask for
Fabulous property to rent. Plenty of room for our group of 9 to stay for the week. Anything you could need is there to make your stay comfortable. Lovely outdoor spaces to relax in and soak in the views. Plenty of grass area for outside games. Easy direct access to the beach which is great for the kids to swim in and handy to take the kayaks and paddleboards out. A short drive from Onerahi but handy to have the local shops at the end of the road.

Amazing experience!
This was a home away from home and the owners were amazing in communication and hospitality :) we had everything we needed from kayak to towels to close shopping/cafe necessities! It was so relaxing waking up to the view and taking the kids out on the water. The beach isn’t far (15 min drive) and there was plenty of space for all of us! Thank you for an amazing experience and opening your home to us to create lifelong memories. We will be back!
