Quiet and remote - loved it!
Very pleased with my stay here. The house is unpretentious and simple. It really is about simple batch living, and this is it's charm. There is a wonderful wood burner that does an amazing job of keeping the place nice and warm. The batch looks right out on to the South Pacific Ocean and the sounds of the waves are ever present. At night - without the clouds - you have a clear dark sky view of the stars and galaxies far away.

Great bach
We loved the bach. Plenty of room for the kids and adults, great view, private backyard and well equipped kitchen. The bach is old and not pristine, but we felt that the price reflects this and it is good value. There is not beach directly across the road from the bach, but we drove down to the estuary for walks. The road is narrow and unsealed in parts.

Great bach by the Makaikona coast for a complete break from it all. Enjoy staring out to sea from the deck, or beachcombing. The bach was comfy and well appointed. One of those places we wished we'd had more time.

What an amazing place to stay. Lovely bach, great views of the ocean, had everything you could need. Fabulous communication from Molly, with great instructions on how to find the property and letting us know about the gravel roads. Great fire which kept us nice and warm. Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet break away.

The fire was lovely and heated the house very quickly. Nice to hear the sounds of the sea. In a very quiet spot so it felt like we were away from it all, but not much of a drive to the lighthouse and castle rock. The house had everything we needed. Thanks for the sweet weekend away :)

Beautiful little Bach, super insulation, only put a couple of logs on the fire & it stayed warm the whole day, beds were super comfortable, couches not so much unfortunately, & it would be better with a TV that has USB as not many people have Dvd anymore, other than that it's a beautiful spot, cosy kiwi Bach & highly recommended 👌

Enjoyed myself. Spacious, warm (nothing beats a wood burner). Basic but provided needed comfort. 1. Shower head needs attention. 2. Toilet does not flash well, had to pour water using a bucket. 3. Please provide bedside lamps.
