From the ad I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect but the Bach is in immaculate condition with heat pump, all needed appliances, even towels to us! We had a great stay and the location and fish and chips are great!

We attended a wedding at Orere Point, stayed two nights. Well equipped Bach, quick stroll to coffee, lovely sunrises and ocean view. Six adults managed the space, bunk beds were OK for our short stay. Thank you, would stay again.

Felt like a genuine Kiwi Bach by the sea, loved it,had everything you would need and would have been comfortable regardless of the weather. Would absolutely stay there again. Paul was helpful and always available if needed. Perfect spot if you want to relax and just look at the water. Great playground for the kids across the road, and we found some nice swimming spots nearby.

Very cute seaside bach in an awesome location, just over the road from the sea. Clean, very comfortable and well equipped, with a fully fenced garden. Also really good communication from the owner. Highly recommended for a summer holiday or a short winter getaway.

The process from start to finish was without issue & Paul, the host, was very accommodating.
He has a lovely slice of heaven which he proudly shared with us.

Lovely clean house everything provided, excellent location for family holiday. Also dog friendly property Great fishing at night with surfcasters, netting for flounder and mullet in the daytime, found a great safe swimming hole in the domain were we all had a blast. Awesome bike rides with very little trafic so safer for all on family bikerides. Also took the boys to the private boat ramp quarry what a great place to fish from, quite unique. Pink shop had lovely ice creams and great hot chips and the gas service station was fully stocked. Overall just fantastic place and location for family holiday. Cheers Paul and Family

Awesome spot, gorgeous sunrise and sunset! We loved our night there, it would have been great to stay longer! Only feedback was it wasn’t super easy to tell what the set-up of the bach was like, a floor plan picture (even vague) would be an added bonus on the website, just for bringing baby purposes! Paul generosity provided us with a porta cot, awesome service. Thanks heaps

Amazing views all round!
Held an overnight leadership retreat (team of 6). The drive out was nice & once we arrived we saw the most beautiful views of the sea. The outside deck area was beautiful. We had dinner out there and breakfast in the morning too. House was WELL EQUIPPED (better than Air bnb houses we've been to)! Everything you need is there.
Photos do NOT do this gorgeous Bach justice. Thank you Paul & Zoe! We hope to be back again soon :)

Watching the tide roll in, watch it roll away again
Great place to escape to. There was enough going on that we didn't get bored, but it was much more relaxing than where we live.
Thanks Paul.

Lovely Cottage
Beautifully thought about cottage with a beach front views. We only stayed 1 night but this place would be perfect for family with extras as there is plently of room for tents/caravans on site. Fully fenced yard so great for our two dogs to roam without having to keep an eye on them. Great shower, comfy bed with everything you need during your stay. Loved our stay thank you Paul and would highly recommend booking here.

Really nice house and very well stocked with everything you could want. Host was great and although we didn't want for anything, we knew he was close by if we needed anything and he made it clear it would be no trouble

A Great Stay
Great place to stay. Modern cottage, lots of room and fabulous views to enjoy sitting out on the covered in deck. Location is perfect for walking, biking, bird watching and to enjoy the hot pools a few ks down the road.
Thoroughly recommend The Sea Urchin.
