Independent in Mareretu from NZ$121

"The Bach is as promised, close to an absolutely gorgeous beach, accessed directly from a small greenway. It’s a cute little older house but quite well maintained and very cozy and comfortable. Everything we needed and more was available for our use. Even in slightly wet weather we didn’t regret this stay one bit, and could have stayed longer very happily.The local market and basic needs are just a short drive or a fifteen minute walk away.Carrie and John were responsive to all of our questions and more than happy to share advice and knowledge.By all means we would book this little Bach again. It was modest but complete and the location and hosts were beyond wonderful."

"Really enjoyed our stay here, it jad a ll we needed for 4 besties to get away, chill and relax. Ocean Beach nearby was cool and recommend the Parua Bay oysters, the street across from Parua Bay 4 square. Thank you."

"Spent 2 nights at the lodge and it was exactly what we needed to get away from the busyness of Auckland.Property is very clean, tidy and bigger than pictured!! "

"Amazing view, private, comfortable bed, great value for money"

"A lovely place stay. Very comfortable bed and nice hot shower.Beautifully positioned with a peaceful outlook over the bay. Walk up to the cafe and chip shop. Lots to do in the area or just sit and enjoy the nice deck to relax with comfortable chairs and BBQ.House had everything we needed, couldnt fault it. Would love to stay again."

"We enjoyed the time we had."

"Not enough wine glasses for 8 pax, we bought 4 and left in cupboard to share. Coffee machine does not have the correct basket in coffee holder to brew the coffee. coffee grinds were very hard to get out to make next one which made a hell of a mess. We wasted a lot of the coffee. If you put the correct basket in it will make a nice coffee."

" The bath was absolutely stunning!!—easily one of the highlights of the trip, was also surprised by hot water for tea, the crackers on the table, hummus AND with the Whitakers chocy bar in the fridgeThere was plenty of space to stretch out and relax, both inside and out, with thoughtful design touches throughout. And that canopy bed!! A dream!Was comfortable, private and relaxing—highly recommend :)"

"Nice lodge, with super friendly and helpful staff"
