Perfect weekend
We had a fantastic weekend. Communication beforehand was very good and everthing was as described. The kids loved the beach and the tennis courts. No Tv or internet required! Unfortunately, the sun disappears after the hill early afternoon at this time of the year, so we didn't sit outside a lot. Otherwise, we had a perfect stay.

A fun filled few days.
A wonderful place to stay to totally unwind and relax. The kids were out fishing at any opportunity. The bach has everything you need with lots of space and really close to the beach. Thanks so much!!!

Close to beach, traditional Bach. Nice community around
It is actually barely two minutes walk to the beach, with steps down onto sand at that point. Our 18 month old granddaughter was able to walk there unaided. Be aware that it IS as described, a rustic traditional Bach. Lovely sitting on deck and seeing and hearing Tui and a wood pigeon just around us in the trees at edge of yard. (And a friendly magpie)

A Kiwi Bach, rustic, charming and all you need. So close to the beach can still hear the sea. Great garden area, with plenty areas to sit outside.

Fantastic family holiday spot
We stayed during the summer holidays with our three boys and dog - what a fantastic spot! The kids really loved hanging out in the garden and on the swing. Great proximity to the beach and a great space to relax and enjoy the sun. Definitely recommend to other families and pet owners.
