Beach was amazing.

The deck was big. Beach was beautiful. We were missing a kitchen table and kitchen was lacking in equipment and what there was needed updating. First impression was impacted by loads of bird droppings and spiderwebs on entry.

Beautiful propert, great for families

Wish we had stayed longer! Made the best of our one night stay but can see how this property would be perfect for familes with kids. A beautifully thought out home away from the hustle and bustle. Short drive to Oamaru and breathtaking views of the veach right down the street!

Nice weekend getaway

Great place for a getaway with family or friends! 3 of the bunk mattresses are really only suitable for children (thin foam) but otherwise there was everything we needed for a chill out time. Loved the donkey singing to us!

Fabulous bach

We booked Bach Retreat as our base while participating in an adventure race. Fabulous wee place - warm and comfortable with everything we needed (including great showers for after!). Great communication from our very friendly host. Would absolutely recommend and stay again ourselves.

Great stay

Great communication, beautiful location and very clean. Was perfect for a getaway with friends. Only thing that let it down was the bbq not working, the jets were all clogged up so only 2 out 5 jets worked and not that well. Couldn’t use it to cook on. Small issue considering everything else was great. Would stay again
