Great old school bach in a fantastic location

Very nice batch in a great location surrounded by forest . The loop track is 1,5 hours and gives you access to the native bush and a nice pool to cool down.

Sensational location and laidback resort. Perfect for long walk stopovers with comfy lounge and informal dining room overlooking the Sounds. Excellent food and attentive staff. Long drive in along a sealed but storm damaged road.

This is an amazing location with wonderful views - unfortunately the weather was overcast and cool for summer so no stars at night. The rooms are good and maximise the views. Ok its not really five star but good given the location. I do have to comment on the food. A few tweaks could have made a big difference. The beef was beautiful produce but sadly overcooked. and I would not call a bowl of cold brocollini and sum raw baby spinach with a simple dressing a course. its an accompaniment. And some seasoning, lemon or lime and chilli would have gone a long way to lifting my breakfast huevos rancheros to a decent level. I had to do that myself

Enjoyed our stay at this bach; great communication with the hosts; a rustic Kiwi bach with good access to the kayaks, life jackets and easy access to the beach. The gardens were great and the birdsong in the morning and evening was spectacular.Outdoor spaces were lovely and it was lovely to have the use of the picnic tables for outdoor entertaining.Good solar and gas supplies for our hot water and cooking facilities.Unfortunately the previous guests who had just checked out had left their rubbish at the bach so that ended up being a bit smelly.Luckily the weather was fine and it was easy to accommodate our group of 10 outside mainly for dining. It might have been a bit difficult if it had been raining most of the time.All in all we had a lovely time.

Beautiful and peaceful setting. Excellent staff and food. Fabulous experience, thank you. Would highly recommend.
