Reviews
“A fantastic spot on the beautiful west coast. Comfortable and with views to die for. If you’re here at the right time of year, get some whitebait and ask Christine how to make patties – a must-do! Jacksons Bay wonderful too. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks so much!”

“We loved this house, adored the sunsets and sunrises, just spectacular colours. Took a hour or two to get used to no cell or tv, however this meant more time for books and enjoying wonderful cd collection. Thanks so much, the highlight of our 2 +1/2 weeks away from home. Intend to return.”

“Bach was great. Had wild Weat Coast weather during our stay. Rain of Biblical proportions, etc…. Recommend the Hapuka Estuary walk, Jacksons Bay [fish + chips!], any walk of the many walks on offer, or just kick back with a book and listen to the sea roar!!
