Very friendly host, although there were a lot of messages about her other property instead of this one. We very nearly arrived with no sheets or towels as she hadn’t told us we needed those. Fortunately one of our group had stayed there before and told us.

This Place is amazing. We loved it here. The beach is just a short walk. The Batch is warm, clean, and comfortable. The view of the rock face/hill behind you is mesmerizing. I am a huge fan of the Monarch Butterfly and the garden is full of them.

A very warm host with family that have been connected to Kairakau forever. There is the story of the connection to the beach that goes back well over a century.The bach is a traditional bach, but large for a bach and very comfortable. Peaceful, backing onto bush and a high ridge. Wonderful beach.

Even with crazy winds for a couple of days, there was plenty to do at the bach. Once the wind was gone, just a quick walk to the beach, great place!

This was the ideal location to get away from the hustle and bustle. It was lovely to take winter walks on the beach then come home to a comfy fire with a good book and a glass of something nice!
