Great weekend stay
Everything you could need for a long or short stay. Great veranda to enjoy the morning coffee from (or any time of day). If your tall, you need to watch the height of a couple of the doorways at night. Would definitely stay again.

Gorgeous Okiwi Bay
We had a fabulous time fishing at D'Urville Island. It was nice to come back to a very well equipped bach. It was lovely having a cuppa on the outside deck in the morning!

Great Stay !
It was a great stay ,however weather wasn't on our side so we checked out a day early .Hosts were really helpful and easy to communicate. Very clean Bach ,only issue we had was boat parking for a 6 meter boat but Terry was really helpful and gave us opportunity to park it on the grass which made it easier . If weather was great it would have a been great fishing trip . Bradley family .

Simple & perfect!
Lovely little traditional Bach with modern touches where it matters (like the very decent shower). Clean, tidy, and only a very short stroll from the water front to boot. Hosts were lovely and generous!

Really enjoyed our stay, the Bach isn't modern but it's comfortable and had everything we needed. The patio (with BBQ) is covered which is great if it rains. Good gas shower. Friendly and helpful owners, we'll be back!

Very happy with batch in terms of holiday accommodation. Well presented and friendly, helpful hosts. I was disappointed with cold water only washing machine with leaky tap. The tap leaked heaps when machine was going.

Thanks for your comments. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay. As explained if you turned the tap to half flow there were no problems and you were welcome to use the other laundry.

Perfect Spot for All the Action!
Excellent bach, that was incredibly well appointed. As a couple, we stayed there with our dog but there was certainly ample space to have more people. Great location, and plenty of space for the boat. It was a great touch having the fish filleting station too. Jill and Terry were fantastic hosts, who communicate well and even gave us plenty of fishing tips - as well as some tasty snapper when we hadn’t caught our own. Clean, spacious, tidy and lots of thoughtful touches. Couldn’t recommend this bach more highly!

A true Kiwi Bach
Home away from Home in true Kiwi Bach style. Jill had provided everything we might have needed in a very clean residence. I would say though that the bunk nook is more suited to children. We were a party of five retirees. One opted to stay elsewhere so not disturbed by others traipsing past him to use the bathroom. Otherwise it was PERFECT!
