Independent in Kaihu from NZ$148

"The hosts were very engaging and helpful even when there was a local black-out. The views and peacefulness were terrific as well as the fresh veggies from their garden."

"Cleanest motel we have stayed in. The bathroom was just sparkling! Great check in staff - very friendly and helpful. "

"Everything was good except that the TV did not cast as it was too old and the bedroom configuration was not helpful for adults sharing living accommodation, i.e. two of the bedrooms were accessed by going through the other room with sleeping accommodation. It would have been helpful to know this for privacy reasons for our group. Otherwise, we had a lovely stay and were very happy."

"Well designed Thermal Mass house in a beautiful, tranquil setting. Lovely getaway from the busy city. Short drive to beach and shops. Two stores close by and a Four Square, also a popular fish and chop shop and bar. Limited internet access, no tv, so we played lots of family games. Only slightly negative point was the steep driveway, but my husband coped by putting his foot down! Joanna was a great host and very responsive. We would definitely stay again "

"Amazing accommodation - the online pictures don’t do it justice!!The comfiest beds, beautiful bed linen and a cozy atmosphere!Lovely treats on arrival - homemade brownies, fresh bread and granola, with some snacks added in too!!100% recommend….gutted we could only stay 1 night due to our travel schedule!!"

"For a budget room it was all we needed. Staff wonderful, flexible. Clean, comfortable bed. "

"Best description on book a bach. And cheap and cheeeful doesnt mean bad! Its a nice homely place and the extra room due to the size means no cabin fever or tripping over each other. "

"Classy and tasteful wing of the building done with period style touches. "

"Great weekend in Te Kopuru for a golf weekend at Baylys Beach. Lots of beds, big kitchen and living areas for our teenage boys. Spa pool was a huge hit also."
