3rd stay
We had previously stayed twice before at this property, last stay was 3 years ago. Fantastic location and owner is great to deal with. Only reason for 3 stars (cleanliness) is because the microwave was dirty when we arrived and the BBQ was too rusty to cook on. These things happen, owner was advised and we had a good response. I feel it necessary to warn future guests that our relaxing holiday was spoiled by the barking dogs next door. There are now 3 dogs, the 2 small ones are the problematic barkers. We can handle daytime barking, but the owner takes them out at 6-6.30am most mornings to run along the beach. The anticipatory barking starts up inside their house (which we hear) about 15mins beforehand, then the owner lets them out of the front gate and the dogs run across the lawn of the bach barking frantically. So everyone in our household was woken at 6-6.30am pretty much every morning. One morning it was 5.30am. No fault of the bach’s owner of course, but we work hard all year and look forward to sleeping in on our holidays, but were unable to do so. I did attempt to speak to the dog’s owner after the 5.30am wake up but she didn’t seem to care. For this reason, we will sadly be looking to stay somewhere else next summer.

Lovely spot on the beach
Perfect for young children, they had a great time exploring the rocks and safe swimming on the beach. Nice and tidy. Comfortable beds. Close to Tutukaka marina. I would definitely stay here again. It rained most the time we were there and there was no indoor clothing airers which was difficult. Also the neighbour has 3 yapping dogs that get set off every time you go outside.

We enjoyed a wonderful holiday at your lovely bach.
We enjoyed a wonderful holiday at your lovely bach. It was fantastic to look straight out onto the gorgeous bay and for the children to be able to run safely straight onto the beach. The bach was beautiful and clean with fresh bedding throughout - thank you! We would definitely recommend your bach to others. The proximity to the beach was exactly what we were looking for!
