A lovely spot so close to the beach

The bach was perfect for us. We could see the ocean from the living room and the fenced backyard was great for kids and dog. Thanks for having us.

So close to the beach, with everything you need!

Wow we loved staying at Amy's Bach. So close to the beach, meant the kids could enjoy and then easily walk back, even a garden hose to spray down afterwards! Beds were comfy. House is well kitted out. Communication was super quick, easy, clear, and kind! Dining table was on deck under shelter, which was fine for warm weather but wouldn't suit so much in colder weather. Thanks so much, would absyvisit again!

Family get-together at Raumati

This was a great property, located close to Raumati beach, for a family birthday get together. The house is roomy, well equipped, clean and very homely. The beds were comfortable and lots of blankets and linen available. The weather was good so no need for heating. We all enjoyed ourselves on the deck in the afternoon. It would have been good to have a few more kid games or a pack of cards. Communication with host was great and they were obliging - letting us arrive a little earlier. Would be keen to come again in the future.
