Perfectly Imperfect
This is a typical old-school kiwi bach, nothing fancy but it's in a great location which is why this is our third time staying there.

Homely family bach
We just really loved our stay - we loved that it was a kiwi bach style, where we could relax, read, play board games, chill out on the front porch, easily walk to the village and Garden of Tane.

Weekend with the grandchildren
Peaceful location. Bird song! Clean and tidy inside. Well equipped kitchen. Our grandson loved all the toys!! However, the outside deck area had what looked like a dog poop on a child's toy.

Good
Stay was good overall! Had great communication with the property manager and sent out belongings we left. Had everything you needed, perhaps getting rid of cobwebs before people arrive would be good. But overall close to everything and great that you can bring your dog!!
