Bach living

Great location. Quiet and close to grocery store and cafe my fat puku which was great!Some plumbing issues but thats life and have already discussed with Mike. Mosquitoes were a big deal for me as i react badly. Unfortunately Window mesh didn't fill all the gaps . Duct tape would help as a first aid measure or mike put some adhesive foam on the bottom of the frames already there.

GBI Weekend

Was just after first flood. Wondered if we would be able to land or fly out but no problem in the end. Place was close to Claris and easy to find and exactly as expected. Drove to Tryphena and Fitzroy. Drinks at Irish pub was great. My fat puku great coffee and food. Museum n gallery v worthwhile. Bach was great. No problem with water obviously or power for that matter. All in all a great weekend. Thanks Mike

Lovely Classic bach

Had everything we wanted in a good location. Would have loved to use the wood burner bath (out of fire ban season).

A great cottage close to Kaitoki

A great stay at Kaitoki. Really loved the bach and it was well equipped and clearly described. Lost one star for an uncomfortable mattress upstairs, a bit firm for us, but maybe that’s just our preference! Thanks Mike for your great communication.

Christmas/New Year at Kaitoke Cottage

Kaitoke Cottage is a clean, well fitted out property in a handy location with great spaces for relaxing inside and out. The owner was helpful when we had a minor query which was quickly resolved. Thanks for the stay.
