Escape to your own Hidden Valley and Secluded Beach on the Beautiful West Coast!

Get back to simple off-the-grid living and detox from your hectic lifestyle of work & family commitments.
Relax on the deck with a book and listen to the ocean or watch the wild goats graze on the other side of the valley.
This cosy bach has everything you need to make your stay a holiday to remember!
With your power from a diesel generator this unique off-the-grid experience still brings you the luxury of hot water and cooking with gas.
You can enjoy a cool beer while using the BBQ on the deck overlooking the ocean.
The bach has 2 bedrooms with Queen size beds and a single mattress each and there is a fold down couch in the living area. A large dining table seats 8 people or maybe you will prefer to use the breakfast bar.
A log fire will keep you warm and cosy on those colder nights.
The bach comfortably sleeps 8 but please enquire if you have a larger family. The base rate is for up to 6 people then it's $25 per person, per night for extras.

Rugged coastline.
Two bedroom, sleeps 8. Good facilities, just up the track from beach. Plan carefully as its a long drive to shops. Not a safe swimming beach. Come prepared, fishing, reading, puzzles. No tv, no wifi. Off thd grid is great for a few days.

An amazing property and amazing owner!
Paula went above and beyond when customs delayed us by hours Paula was still very kind and patient with our delay. We didn’t arrange to the property till 9 pm where she met us at the front of the property happy and super nice. The Bach didn’t disappoint when we saw the beautiful area in the sun rise along with the black sand beach. 20/10 me and my family absolutely loved the time we were allowed to stay and want to thank Paula and her family for the amazing time!

Stunning off the beaten track bach
Paula's place is incredible. Just a heads up - it's very far off the beaten track, and it takes a while to get to from the main road (roughly 20-25 mins from there). Some of the hills are a little steep in places, so make sure you've got good traction. However, once you get there, it's incredible. The views are stunning, there's essentially a private black sand beach at the bottom and the bach is cozy and charming. It had everything we needed: comfy beds, hot shower with amazing pressure, decent stove and oven, and plenty of sofas for chilling out on. Honestly, I can't recommend this place enough.

A magical place.
We had the best time staying at this property. It is the most amazing location and we so enjoyed being off grid. The fishing is excellent and it was nice to spot the wildlife (deer and goats). We will definitely be back.
