"Bright, spacious older cottage with a large grassy lawn. Quiet location. Stunning night sky. Excellent Wi-Fi. We liked the house. A few things to note: You cannot see or hear the ocean from the house. “Walk to the beach” in the title of the listing is a bit of a stretch. The house faces a river estuary. To access the beach you must swim or paddle a kayak or surfboard for about 75-100 meters across the estuary, then walk through mangroves and dunes on the other side. At mid-tide the river is mostly knee/waist deep, but in the middle it was deeper than my kayak paddle. We kayaked across the estuary but never found access through the mangrove thickets on the other side (the house book had directions, we just couldn't find it). So, this way to the beach is not going to work for children or granny, or on a cooler day when you don’t want to get wet. Otherwise, it’s a half-hour walk along the road to the beach at Waipu Cove. The spa had a lot of sand in it and the water was gray/brown so we didn’t use it. The only light in the main bedroom is a bare light bulb hanging from the ceiling."

"Great location with a great view, lovely house with all the necessities and amenities required for a getaway. Would definitely stay again."

"There was a lovely family feel to it. Everything we needed. Nicely appointed."

"Compared to other "Bach" stays, this one requires you to provide your own linens and towels. House hasn't been updated, and had a very rustic feel. Not what we were expecting. "

"Lovely accommodating host. Provided fresh free range eggs and fruits from the property, and welcomed us to help ourselves to fruits/ veges from the garden and eggs from the chickens.Spa pool wasn't available while we were there, possibly due to the recent adverse weather conditions. Spacious home, possibly mid-reno in places so there's a mix of older and newer features - needed a little fiddling with the older shower to achieve a comfortable water temp.Plenty of space for 13 of us, kids loved running around outside. Overall, a great stay."
