We had a fantastic weekend away at this gorgeous wee Bach. Such a stunning spot, plenty around the area to explore and the house is the perfect we base to relax between adventures. It had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!

Thank you, we had a wonderful, relaxing stay. The bach was bright, cheery and warm, and had so much character. The setting is stunning, with limestone cliffs, the roaring sea and nikau groves. My favourite room was the sitting room with its funky retro vibe and the comfy sofa. We spent many hours there.

It was a fabulous location walking distance to everything and an amazing beach for daily walks. Lovely linen and comfy beds. A bit cramped with two big dogs but they managed.

We loved staying in this historic bach right on the water. It had everything we needed and was comfortable and clean. We had a great time checking out the Paparoa track, fishing the Fox and Pororari rivers and exploring nearby caves. Would definitely come back for another weekend away!

Great bach. Very nostalgic. Location is excellent. It's a bach so not fancy but is clean, well equipped and so cool how it is tucked between the beach and the enormous cliffs behind it. The pancake rocks are minutes away, the rivers and beach are amazing, and the Punakaiki pub and garden bar are great for a cold beer and something to eat.
