Beautiful scenery

We had great great stay. We had family staying who were in there mid to late 70s and the long drop toilet was a but of a hassle. But we really enjoyed our weekend away

Great spot

I enjoyed this secluded accommodation which took us away from the hustle and bustle of modern busy life. The toilet was a big surprise and a good learning experience ! Would recommend.

A home away from home

We stayed 4 days and thoroughly enjoyed staying there. There was everything you need for a short term or long term stay. Lovely veranda at the back, out of the wind. We did some good half day hikes. I would really recommend it to anyone. P.s. Very little to no mobile reception here which was not a problem for us. Meant that we enjoyed the book collection even more!

Highlight of our wee road trip

Absolutely iconic Kiwi batch, very clean, comfy bed, so well appointed. The access track down to the beach is a bit tricky but more than with it...what a magic place. We loved it!

Fab West Coast bach

We loved staying at this wee West Coast gem! The beach (which is located down a track below the house) was stunning, as were the sunsets. There was everything we needed in the house for our Coast to Coast team for a few days pre-race.

Picturesque

The batch is perfectly situated between Punakaiki, Paporoa track (we run the cycle loop daily) and Greymouth with all the needed facilities. The view out of the kitchen and main bedroom are stunning, even during a ranging Westcoast storm. The nearby beaches are out of another world and we took stunning photos Nik is a responsive and excellent host. If possible I will definitely visit it again.☺️

The best little get-away

Authentic Kiwi Bach with a beautiful view! We had the pleasure of staying in the little blue bach for three nights and just had the best time. Collecting rocks, Seeing the starfish on the beach (low tide only) the Wekas were a delight to watch and making s’mores on the fire pit was the kids personal fav. A must do for anyone wanting a bit of peace and quiet from their busy lives. We can’t wait to come back!

BlueBach private stay

Nikki’s blue bach is a rustic offline Beaut. The location is along our favourite coastal drive of the South Island. We loved the proximity to Punakaiki, also the challenging climb to Mount George behind her place, and the privacy of Motukiekie Beach. Nikki’s place has a new kitchen and a delightfully comfortable bed and a sunset view for years of memories. We appreciate your dedication to environmental stewardship with your outdoor compostable loo. We have learned from your leadership. Thank you.
