Christmas present
Instead of buying presents for my many grandchildren this year i booked a bach for a memorable experience. Each family had a week with me at the beautiful whangamata beach. We all loved it. Thankyou to the owners for having us.

Fantastic - quiet - and relaxing stay. Limited turning area for parking - trees could be trimmed to provide larger area. Bathroom cold tap also needs a new washer - as drips.

Relaxation time at the beach
Ideal spot for a summer break, with beach, town and estuary all within close proximity, and a nice quiet location. May well head back next year but for a few more days.

4th Time Back.
4th Time back, nice to see improvements each time we come. The air con was heaven with the humid weather this time. Only downside was the lawns, making the place look untidy. The grass appeared not to have been mowed for a number of weeks and was quite long in places all around the edge of the house, by the bins and especially out back by the clothes line where it was almost knee height. Every time you went outside you felt the urge to mow the lawn, which is not ideal on holiday.

Thanks for letting me know about the lawns. I'll get in touch with our lawn mowing service about that. Please feel free to contact us about things like this while you are staying. We might be able to have things resolved while you are there.

Weekend away
A lovely weekend away, with our family and our dog. Full fenced section, which was great for the dog. The place had everything we needed for our time away. Thank you, we will be back. If we could give feedback, the only thing would be to prune back the trees near the decking area.

Quiet spot for a break
A nice place to stay for that break away but close enough to hear the ocean at night. A great spot for us and our fur baby to spend the weekend. Easy walk to the beach. Great communication and house set up with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing weekend. Ultra fragrant plants outside providing a nice surprise.

Long Weekend away
Nice weekend away as we enjoyed the walk to beach and dairy close by . Great space on deck, great space in sleepout for teenagers . Bedding comfortable for our family of 5. Use of air con to cool or heat us great bonus. Appreciated it was dog friendly but the driveway gate was easy for them to slip thru large gate rails.Happily our dog does stay close to us all the time, but needed to be tied up or confined if we left the property without her. Thanks for excellent communication and extra items available for use at the holiday home.

Rainy week in Whanga, but we were comfortable and dry at the bach. Our third time there now. Wifi and netflix kept us going. Nicky was extremely accommodating and caring given the flooding and slips occurring around whangamata. Thank you Nicky. We will be back again, hopefully to a sunny Whanga.,

Enjoyable stay at whangamata
We enjoyed our stay at whangamata, 10 walk to the estuary, the batch was clean and tidy. Great communication. The only issue we had was there is no turning space down the long drive way and the trees and shrubs are very over grown, which resulted in our car being scratched.

Pet friendly, comfy, traditional NZ family bach
We had a wonderful few days in this bach, situated in a quiet convenient location. Everything we needed was provided. The furnishings were good and the beds were comfortable. We were able to take our dog and he loved lying on the deck in the sun in between great walks on the beach & estuary. We hope to stay again.

Perfect for us
This is a great wee house to stay at! We took two young Norwich Terriers with us for two nights.They were happy and settled but we didn't let them loose outside, (probably more through our paranoia and a couple of hens hanging around). It was really quiet and we were close to everything we needed. The house was very clean and tidy. We would definitely stay again. Thanks for being dog friendly Nicky.

We were delighted with the property, especially since we were able to bring our dog along. Everything we needed and so much more was available to use. A nice walk to the amazing beach. The property is well-suited for families too with ample sleeping and plenty of room to move around. I'm sure we will be back. P.s we love the original art around the Bach, well done Nikky.

Relaxing Kiwi bach
Great location, easy walk to estuary or beach. Bach is older, but nice and cool, private and quiet. Had everything we needed, and was very relaxing. Parking- needed to reverse in down past the neighbour’s car, as nowhere to turn the car, so not the easiest access, but have had worse. Would expect happy to stay here again.

Private Bach, Great for Groups & Dog Friendly
Our group of friends had a great stay. We loved the privacy (the property is back off the road) and the fact that it was very dog-friendly. It's in a great location, a short drive to town and not too far from the beaches. It's a no-frills place but it had everything we needed and was very clean. Nicky the owner was great at getting back to us quickly, we felt very well looked after.
