Easter Family Holiday

Lovely house. Big table for us to all sit at and enjoy our meals together. We also made use of the lawn and played some games together :)

Mahanga Gem

As a large family of three generations this bach was ideal for us, as were able to pitch tents to allow separation for our teenagers, and it was well fenced for our dog. The bach was very well appointed, and with a couple of minor additions would be rated as excellent. Communication was great before and after, and we all had a wonderful time in a beautiful part of the world!

Getaway

Quiet location with no pedestrian traffic, beach a stone's throw away. Bach has all you require to have a comfortable stay. As with all tank water houses the water pressure for a shower is not great. Overall it was a great stay with a relaxing atmosphere and would happily stay again. barbecue or cook indoors

Awesome Mahia Bach

This is a beautiful bach in a stunning part of the country. Its a few minutes across to Mahia Beach and the feeling is amazing. The bach was well equipped and cosy with more than enough space in a quiet cup-de-sac. The owner was absolutely amazing and so helpful. Highly recommend this home away from home!
