Great location, Disappointing accommodation
We were expecting to use the main house plus the sleepout for our accomdation needs. Damp bedding and sheets were left in the sleepout making it too musty to sleep in. We ended up bringing a mattress into the living room, which was hard and also musty. Exposed wiring and overloaded power adaptors looked unsafe. Would not bring a young child into this living room. Unclean tea towels in kitchen, greasy sofa, and general standard of cleanliness was way below what is acceptable for the cost of renting this place. Considering the lovely location offering a potentially great holiday spot, were really disappointed with this bach.

The perfect kiwi batch
Fantastic people to deal with. The perfect location to base yourself for a fishing weekend or longer. If the weather isn't up to fishing the property is a lovely space to relax. Really enjoyed our time here and would love to come back again.

A safe haven
Kia ora one and all. I found Mark & Heather's wee bach a really lovely place to stay, and it had everything I needed, or wanted. Given, that I had temporarily fled my home, due to ongoing threats & intimidation from my neighbour (Police involved), I slept well and felt safe for the first time in many, many weeks. I just wish I could have afforded to stay longer. Never mind the time I spent here was such a blessing = lovely walks to the beach and 'hunkering down' when it rained. Close to town for movies, extra food and good coffee, were added bonuses. Thanks Heather and Mark for providing such a lovely safe house to rest & recuperate. Ngā Mihi Nui/Kindest Regards Sharon C

A great little property with everything you need. Clean and tidy and well presented. Only a couple of things were not 100% - this being not all stove elements worked, also the sleep-out door would not lock from inside but would happily stay again. Thanks!
