Wonderful hospitality, and awesome amenities for whanau. Please forward my grateful thanks to hosts. I also wish to apologise to them for leaving the council rubbish bag inside the garage, I did not want to leave it out on the kerb for collection today, in case a dog/cat got into it. I am happy to cover any extra cost for this, Nga Mihi

Great stay! Lovely wee house.
We really enjoyed our stay. House was great, it had everything we needed. Loved the vibe of it and it was clean & tidy. Good location to the beach. Sleepout was excellent for the kids. Great communication with hosts. Only suggestion would be to make it more clearer about the bedroom configurations in the listing - i.e. house is only one bedroom. Would recommend this listing to friends.

We had a restful weekend in this classic kiwi bach. Wee house has been beautifully renovated, and had everything you could possibly need. Sleepout provided a bonus space. Communication with owners was excellent. Thank you.

SWEET KIWI BACH
This is a classic simple Kiwi Bach that has been nicely tidied up and freshly painted has comfortable fittings a bbq and a bit of sports equipment to keep a family entertained. Swing ball was a hit and a selection of family friendly videos. The beach is just over the sand dune. We had an enjoyable time. Hosts were flexible with check in/out arrangements. Thanks

Overall it was a lovely place to stay for a few days. The location is amazing, plenty of parking, easy access to the beach, quiet, the 'Wee Hoose' is lovely and very 'wee', and the owners are wonderful! The garage had lots of things to do and the owners left plenty of books, games and DVDs. I gave it a 'Pleasing' result because there were no laundry facilities or internet, which made staying out there with a family a bit harder. I had to work while there, and not being from NZ it cost me a lot in data. But for those who don't need such amenities, it's the perfect getaway and I recommend it.

The Accommodation is very spacious. Only thing is it is not cleaned and had one of the toilet drain over flowing. Bedding is not washed for a while and had fleas. Fridge is not cooled. House cleaning is not done in between guests. It would be very pleasant experience if the accommodation have hygiene standards improved. Would recommend only if regular house cleaning or airing out can take place.

Classic Bach close to the beach
We enjoyed our stay. The place is a short walk to the beach and shops and comes we used the tennis rackets (thanks!). The main house is small but adequate. More finishing on floors and a welcome card and written booklet with info about the property (we weren't sure if we could use the coffee sachets for example) would really help it! Thanks so much!
Response from VrboOwner on May 19, 2021
We are glad your family enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the feedback, new flooring is on it's way soon and we have added an information booklet. I hope you did enjoy the coffee sachets, they are definitely there to be enjoyed. Howard and Antoinette

Great stay with everything you need available. Great cottage just for two but so much more room to take my grandkids next time, and so close to the beach for a dip and picnic. Everything was so clean and tidy, will definitely be coming back in winter to try out the lovely fireplace! Thanks guys 😍
