Amazing location and setup.
Posted Nov. 14, 2024 on HomeAwayWe loved our time in this beautiful space - the location is incredible and the layout of the deck and rooms gives a bit of privacy from the other places. The people before us hadn't quite kept to the owners expectations re cleaning, which wasn't a major but was a shame. The owners were great to deal with; super responsive and clear communication. A great little getaway.

Weekend getaway with the family
Posted Oct. 23, 2024 on HomeAwayGreat location and a stunning coast line for a weekend getaway. House is excellent for a family with plenty of room regardless of the weather. A real sun trap.
Great location for a dive or surf casting.

Remote and relaxing just what was needed
Posted Jul. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayThoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bach, the beach was lovely with lots of treasures to be found by the kids, saw a couple of seals and the best part was the reading and relaxing, the only downside was, I wish we had more time there. Highly recommend this place

Relaxing getaway
Posted Apr. 29, 2024 on HomeAwayPerfect spot for some peace and quiet. Beautiful views and handy location to the beach. Very family friendly, lovely and sunny.

Quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Bring binoculars
Posted Apr. 6, 2024 on HomeAwayOpen plan kitchen/living area, 3 bedrooms and separate rooms for the loo and shower/bath. Decks out front and back. Lovely view.
There’s a wood burner and loads of logs under the house. The house is fairly well insulated.
Shops are 90mins away in Carterton. Bring loo paper! Tap water is from a tank and had a bit of an odd taste, fine for kettle & washing up. We brought bottled water for drinking.
Kitchen has the usuals. We couldn’t get the BBQ to light so used long matches that we brought - not sure if matches supplied.
The gas for water heating ran out while we were there. The owner was quick to respond and told us how to switch to the other tank. Wind dial closed on existing tank (lighter), flick a switch and then wind dial open on other tank (heavier).
About 40 baches in the area with a few for sale. Not sure if there are any perm residents. The McGuiness family own 7000ha and subdivided for baches. Apparently the airstrip was built to save the son having to go to Masterton for flying lessons.
We couldn’t get a mobile signal but there’s internet (~30Mbps) via a microwave link to the hilltop.
Lots of paua shells on beach. Check tide times as walking easier at low tide. Walk access to beach via a path (right at the bach road T junction). The bach keyring has a red key for gate to drive onto the beach (over the single lane bridge & turn right).
Last 25km of gravel road was tedious. A bit hair raising on the final bit of road - down hill/narrow with bits washed away!
