We stayed in a bungalow. The bungalow was clean. One thing was the shower which was a bit hard to get it to a nice warm and not too hot or too cold temperature and the pressure wasn't overly strong.

Overall, very good thanks. We really enjoyed the king size bed and the sound of the waves as we lay in bed. The fire was also nice to be able to relax in front of. We enjoyed the fact that been so close to the beach, the kids could come and go as they pleased.

We had a great time at “The Bach”, what a spot! Location was awesome, a real kiwi bach. Had everything we needed - lots of cutlery, platters & salad bowls for all the BBQs we had. Comfy beds, and the place was clean & tidy. Would love to stay again sometime - thanks guys!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Beautiful scenery, tranquil and peaceful. Go prepared with dinner however, as we never made it out the door in time for takeaways - they close very early! Not so great for those with a small baby, who can't leave their accommodation.

I drove to join a 6:30 tour of Farewell Spit from here. A couple of coffee places to enjoy, a lovely beach, nice camping ground by the beach with what seemed well maintained family accommodation - fantastic sun rises across the bay. Just beautiful
