A beautiful little home, perfect for a internet-free trip away
Perfect beach front views Wonderful summer bbq facilities A cute little home to host a trip away with friends and/or family A little way out from Havelock North, but a great place to play board games, swim and have a technology detox

Beautifully secluded and comfortable only few negative comments
Its beautiful comfortable stay except for toilets and shower facilities being outside the unit. Also some items not clean but had everything that was needed. A suggestion regarding having to bring own linen bath mats and towels can be a problem if visiting from another country as you dont have this available. We had a peaceful stay. Lots of firewood provided and night view of the stars is something that cannot be described.

Lovely relaxing stay
Loved the remoteness of the house. The view was amazing!! No technology was a bonus. So much fun playing on the beach. House was cosy with everything you need.

Great location, open up the back doors and you're on the beach
Great location, open up the back doors and you're on the beach. It is a bit dated, but still has everything you need. Excellent Bach if you want a technology detox as there is no internet or cell service. It is a bit hard to find if you have never been to ocean beach, so I recommend getting detailed directions from the Bach manager (it's over a bridge that says "no public access"). Would definitely stay here again.

Great little bach directly at the beach.
Great little bach directly at the beach. Effective wood burner for the cool nights and so many comfortable outdoor seats to choose from. More spacious than we expected and the "rooms" are separated enough that kids can sleep while others are still awake. Very quiet location and we all loved the quirky design of the house.

The property is in a wonderful location that really can't be beat. The bach itself was clean and basic but everything was in working order and provided our family of four with a wonderful beach experience.
