This older house is located right along a quiet beautiful bay. You can sit right out front and enjoy the view. Or walk around to the park and watch the sunset. The house is clean and just as described. It was sufficiently stocked with dishes and cookware. And we really appreciated having a washer and dryer. There is a slight dampness in the bedrooms that might irritate some with allergies. Overall nice owner, perfect location & clean house!

Lovely bach

Idyllic location and lovely clean bach, we had a fantastic stay with our three kids. Host was prompt and helpful with communications. Only issue was the blocked shower we had 1 min showers each but am sure that will be sorted. Would recommend and stay here again, thank you so much for use of your house.

Cute and cozy place

The bach was the perfect spot for a girls trip to read and relax for a few days. It was clean and tidy. The host was responsive to questions and there was even a handy info pack with things to do locally and places to eat.

Perfect home away from home

We loved our stay! Communication with Maree was great from the get go. The place was clean and tidy, and had all the extra things to make for a great stay - bbq, bean bags, snorkels and kayak, a few treats in the kitchen to help us settle in. The pull out sofa was so handy, and the beds were all very comfortable. Maree had a great booklet with all the local recommendations to help us make the most of our stay. We loved the Mt Manaia walk - gorgeous views across the area. Definitely reccommend!

Small Piece of Paradise

We really enjoyed our stay at the bach. It’s super cozy and we felt right at home. It is very well equipped and had everything we needed. There is even a kayak we were allowed to use. The owners are very responsive and helpful.The shack is located at the end of a cut-de-sac and therefore very quiet. There’s lots to do in Whangarei Heads esp if you like walks in nature. Would definitely recommend it!
