Spotlessly Clean, comfortable and warm.
We stay here as a family frequently. This is our preferred accommodation in Kawhia and we always book to stay here. We frequently return to Kawhia for funerals and Marae related occasions. It's spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. You have all you need to cook meals with eating utensils. Washing machine etc available upon request for laundry needs. The shower and bathroom is modern, clean with plenty of hot water. Finally, the owners went out of their way, to return belongings accidentally left behind after checkout. We are very grateful. A wonderful property and wonderful and kind proprietors.

Great place to stay
Ray and Helen were great hosts and it was clean and is better than the photos. The garden was beautiful in summer. You can hear some noise from upstairs but that didn't bother us. If you're going during the week, especially Monday and Wednesday, there aren't that many food options. Interestingly the Waitomo gas station was the best food store to gather groceries.

Happy stay
We had stayed at the property earlier this Year and really enjoyed the lovely bach and Kawhia beaches & community. We unfortunately had to change our booking for August stay due to our Chartered Fishing Trip was cancelled due to rough sea conditions and arranged another stay in which we were assisted by Helen and Ray to stay at the bach in October, all goes well with the weather. we can go on our Fishing Trip.
