"We loved our stay at this beautiful bach! It’s a cute two-cabin setup that felt very private and cozy. Having the hot tub and direct beach access was a dream, and the area is just stunning. We really appreciated all the 'little extras' like the beach chairs, shelter, and laundry amenities; they made our stay so much easier. The kitchen was great, and we loved having the BBQ to use. The only minor thing to note is that a slightly larger fridge would have been great, especially if staying longer, but it didn't bother us for our three nights and thinking eco-friendly/solar, etc! Being in a rural spot near the dunes, you should expect some bugs, but that’s just part of the coastal experience. The host provided bus spray and repellent, so no worries! We loved it to pieces and are already trying to find excuses to come back! We can't wait. Thank you for being amazing hosts and welcoming us to your space. "

"The room was super clean and smelled great. Lovely view of the waterfall from our 'unit', #4. Excellent location close to town so easy to walk. Bed was super large and the shower was also big and powerful. Loved meeting Oscar who is just adorable, though owning a Shih Tzu myself I may be a little biased. If I ever stay in Whakatane again, this will be my first choice."

"Great welcome. Hosts go out of thier way to make the stay special. A really nice place located next to awesome dining options. We are doing our second stay and will be back again."
