Overall it suited our needs and it reminded me of beach houses from my childhood in Onrus, South Africa. I don't really want spotless perfection as I don't want to stress. We came of a cricket tournament. Kids had a great time on the beach after each hard day and we bbq-ed and used the beach (safely of course). Felt good about supporting this area as well as the nearest winery. So awesome to hear the waves the whole time.

Loved the character of this place and the master bedroom was phenomenal. What a lovely space for hanging out in reading books and listening to the ocean roar

well maintained older bach in prime beach location. We loved our stay and cannot fault it!

Great place to drop your head for the night. Michelle was super accommodating with some last minute changes. Really appreciated the effort. Thanks Philke

This was an absolutely beautiful property looking over the sea. The beds are super comfy. It has everything you need, even a washing machine outside. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor and a lounge and then a lovely bedroom upstairs. And a lovely fireplace with wood provided. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you so much!

Nice place love the view but its to far to the shops

House needs work but lovely hosts and spot

Was good, had no hot water and had it sorted within a couple hours. Easy to get in contact. Nice little getaway

A typical kiwi bach. However, it was a bit down at heel, in need of maintenance. Not well cleaned before we got there (debris under bed, sofas etc). Right on the beach, which was lovely for walks, but unsafe for swimming, which we didn't know before we got there. We had a good time nonetheless.

Booking a very easy process, good communication with the owner. A beautiful spot, right on the Beach. Clean and comfortable with a good secure area outside for the dogs.

Booked for 2 days to enjoy a long weekend at the beach but only ended staying for one night. Unfortunately we were unhappy with the cleanliness and couldn't escape the old house smell. Was alittle disappointed by the overall presentation of the house compared to the photos shown. It's a great spot but we feel it was very expensive compared to what was shown on the website. If it was cheapier than you wouldn't mind it but at the premium price asked we felt very ripped off.

Except for the view, everything about this place was wrong. Not clean floors, bad toilet, sticking cutlery. Sticky bottle for coffee n sugar. I had to buy disposable plates & cutlery. Backyard dirty, spa empty. The list could go on n on. The view & area is great nut the place needs a big spring clean n boost up with flooring n carpet n bedding n sheets.

Very easy,staff friendly and helpful.

Location fantastic. Views amazing. Was bit disappointed the spa was listed but not working.

We booked this house because it allowed us to bring our two dogs. The property has a fenced back yard which is great. Location is excellent, beside a beautiful beach (no swimming), close to local mountain-bike park and 15 mins drive to Napier CBD. There is another house at the back of the property so the driveway is shared. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. The house itself is not in good condition and we had some maintenance issues while we were there. There was a leak in the ceiling of the upstairs bedroom and halfway through our stay, the only toilet broke because the cistern was not properly affixed to the wall. When the toilet broke, the owner's voicemail said she was out of cell-phone range for several days. We hadn't been given an alternative emergency contact so we had to organise an on-call plumber ourselves. The plumber told us that the repair he did was not permanent and more work is needed soon. The owner later refunded us the cost of the repairs and said she is looking to renovate the property during 2022. Overall - great location and good if you are travelling with dogs but house itself needs some work.

Absolutely loved our stay, the view is amazing. Had issues with lighting but overall was great. Would deff stay again

My partner and I so enjoyed our stay, not long enough. Cosy, Rustic, Quiet, Beautiful views. We had the holiday we were hoping for, relaxing, coffee & wine on the sand, steps away from house watching the sunset was just what we needed, lovely area. We enjoyed meeting the manager and she was ever so accommodating. We will definitely make this our secret getaway.

A rustic beach property in a relaxing private location. Amazing views. Perfect for a family with the added bonus of bringing our dogs. Had the beach outside the property to ourselves for surfcasting and roasting marshmallows on both nights. A nice family getaway : )

If you want to relax and get away from it all this is the place to be.

We enjoyed being at this quiet beach environment with the open view of the sea and across to Ahuriri. Close to mountain bike and walking areas. Fantastic water pressure. Nice spot to eat outside with a view of the sea. Comfortable place to relax and the dogs loved it, even if they growled at the larger one next door when he barked!! So thank you, Michelle.

This suited our family needs coming from 3 different directions. Surf casting right outside the front door. So cool for family gathering to include the dog.

The location is nice but the house could have been cleaner. There was dust and hair on the floors, the blanket on the couch still had dog hair from previous tenants, and there are mice in the house, mainly in the hot water cylinder cupboard but my 12 year old daughter found mouse poo on her bed on the second day. The shower water pressure is shocking. The outside of the property is a bit neglected. Other than that we had a good stay.

Fantastic location. Unfortunately the property needs maintenance. The shower didn't work and we had to boil the jug to get enough hot water for dishes amongst other things.

We had a lovely week at this property. Great location, overlooking the beach, beautiful sunrises. As others have noted, it is a rustic, no frills bach, but was clean and tidy, very comfortable beds and nice crisp linen, duvets, blankets. Being open and right across from the beach it would be great in summer - though the beach is rough for swimming. The house is compact, so in cold/windy weather it was quite tight downstairs for a group of six plus a dog - but the sunny upstairs room overlooking the ocean is spacious and sunny. In winter the house is quite cold, but if you get the fire going and keep it stoked up when you go to bed, it is quite cosy. Owner was responsive and helpful.

Quant property in a relaxing, friendly location. We loved the nice linens and the ‘feel’ of this cozy holiday home. Noted the compact living area allows for only couch or outside dinning and the shower is a little slower than some ... However, the lovely spacious area upstairs offers stunning views. We thank you for the friendly communication and making our family pup welcome.

Beautiful place to stay in and everything was perfect. Thank you for the lovely experience

We booked 4 nights here but we only managed to stay 1 night due to noisy neighbors, uncomfortable beds and an averagely clean house. This house is on a shared driveway and given the fact the windows don't actually close/seal properly noise can be heard from people coming and going during the night (Main bedroom on driveway side) the view of the ocean was nice. The house is very dated which you would except for a bach at the beach this should be reflected in rate. . We have stayed at many bookabach's around NZ and never before have we had an experience this poor.

The facilities were great, clean, good beds, great view and access, was disappointed in the shower as water pressure was very weak, otherwise great stay. Thank you.

Lovely location on non swimming beach but great for keen fisher persons. Woke up every morning looking at the most stunning view from my bed and sat at a desk in front of a picture window other times enjoying that same view. Listening constantly to the waves crashing on the beach was mesmerizing. The property itself is very tired and a little hard to keep clean because of this - but is part of the charm as it is clearly a Bach and so it was great to not stand on super strict house rules and just enjoy the time we stayed. Thank you to host.

We had the most relaxing stay. All the linen in the beds was so fresh and clean, the views are amazing and the house had everything you could possibly need. Was awesome to be able to bring the dog for a family holiday. Can’t wait to come back one day

Loved the outlook. Older house but nice and comfortable

Lovely position Comfortable beds Rustic Needs some maintenance and is a wee bit tired in some areas
