Warm and comfortable
Great communication with owners. Warm and comfortable. It was a wet weekend so we didn't get the opportunity to enjoy the beach, but it was close by. Close to Matakana and Brick Bay Cafe which was great. I was in the Master bedroom and the bed was super comfy! Great shower. Enjoyable stay for our girls weekend.

Easter Weekend 2021
Emma was so easy to deal with. The location is beautiful and the property was just right for what we needed. The house was tidy on arrival and very homely. We had all that we required for an enjoyable fanily getaway. I will definitely be back and would highly recommend this property. I can honestly not fault anything about it as it met all our requirements and the view and sunrises were absolutely AMAZING. Thank you Emma🙏

Great location
This is an awesome little place, well located near the beach and shops. Couple of things to know; it doesnt have an oven which would have been good to know beforehand. We found one of those little benchtop ovens in the cupboard but couldnt cook our meal in there. No screens on the windows for mozzies and there were truckloads of them. The house is really super comfortable as are the beds and it has wverything else you need. We would happily stay again

Close to the beach at Snells
Everything in the property was very clean and tidy and everything we needed was supplied. The bench oven worked perfectly for us and the kitchen was well equipped. It was very comfortable and we enjoyed the views of Snells. Short walk to the playground and cafe a bonus.

Host was a great communicator, very helpful and very accomodating.
We loved our stay, had everything we needed, and were very comfortable in the house. We all slept very well in the comfy beds. Great to have 2 fridges, and made good use of the bbq and convection oven for our dinners. Being able to sit outside on the deck for every meal was a treat. We really appreciated being able to bring our pup away, plenty of yard for him to run around in.

We really enjoyed our stay at this neat bach. being a 5min walk from the beach was amazing and the views from the unit were just as shown in the photos. The place was very tidy despite a a few cockroaches but nothing to ruin our stay.

Comfy and great location
Bach was well situated for access to the beaches, Matakana and Omaha. Short stroll to Snells beach with great walking track onto the front of the Bay. Nice views from the front terrace, back terrace sheltered and sunny. We would definitely return. Very clean and tidy with comfy beds.
