We had a lovely stay at this wee bach, the location was perfect , right by the estuary/beach and a short drive to Takaka and Farewell Spit. Stunning especially at high tide! Even if it is quite close to other houses, you can't see any of them as the house is surrounded by bush and out of sight of anyone else except the odd person walking past on the beach. The bach itself is older and "basic" (as per the description), but had everything we needed and was cleaned to a good standard. It's a bit of a shame you can't leave windows/doors open after dark as the house fills with insects, including mosquitoes, which makes it quite hot sleeping especially if the weather was hot. Tia was very welcoming and helpful, messages are promptly replied to in a friendly manner!
