Easy beach stay

Mandy’s place was welcoming and cosy and perfect for an easy beach getaway. Lots of fans for warm nights and being able to open up all the windows was so lovely. So close to the beach and corner store. Highly recommend!

Beautiful location

This bach is super cute and in a perfect location for New Chums Beach and exploring the Coromandel. The house itself is very retro which I love, but that extends to old beds and appliances etc so be aware of that when booking.

Kiwiana bach

Perfect for a short stay. Only negatives for us were the sandflies and mosquitoes but a candle repellent took care of that. Loved all the arts & crafts! Mandy was very prompt in getting back to us re any queries and was very obliging

Perfect Kiwi bach experience

Perfect spot to relax for a weekend away from the city. The house is incredibly charming, we loved all the tasteful crafts and art. Early morning swims in the crystal clear water at Whangapoua then around the rocks to New Chums for the afternoon. Stunning weather, beautiful bird song, I can't recommend this place enough. We will be back for sure. Paradise!
