Summary: A quintessential kiwi bach and just 10 seconds to the beach. The bach is a good proximity to many local sites, walks and amenities. The host was available via message and responded when messaged. Quaint, cosy and funky!

Summary: Thank you, we had a wonderful, relaxing stay. The bach was bright, cheery and warm, and had so much character. The setting is stunning, with limestone cliffs, the roaring sea and nikau groves. My favourite room was the sitting room with its funky retro vibe and the comfy sofa. We spent many hours there.
