Picture Perfect
Fantastic location with easy beach access, stunning views and everything needed for a relaxing stay. Fished from the beach and caught mullet and one decent snapper for our tea. The birdsong and sheltered, quiet location was just bliss. Spark network from deck, though intermittent, was a nice surprise. Sandy, the caretaker of the property was very helpful. Very clean and tidy property and a logburner with plenty of wood just ready to light was a lovely addition. Highly recommend this magical place.

Lovely getaway
We have had such a lovely time at this bach. It is perfect being so close to the water as the kids can potter on the beach while still being supervised from the deck. Clean and cozy we highly recommend it. Wish we could live here ☺️

Moetapu Bay on the Water's Edge
Great place to rest up. Also caught two fish off the beach. Winter time and cold but the stove kept the place warm. Very restful view - could look at it all day.

Property in poor state for our stay
Very Disappointed in cleanliness of property. We paid a cleaning and management fee & then had to clean it ourselves. From mars bars wrappers through house to dirty dishes and fridge - place was not up scratch for renting.Wld not rent another property managed by Bachcare on Bookabach again. Made a time to meet Bachcare to check in (which they requested) and property wasnt ready. Perhaps not their fault but we we’re made to feel like it was our fault for turning up on time when they asked us to. Not what you need after a big day travelling with family.
