beach bach as it is
great 4 nights at barbwire bach. this is how a bach should be. everything we needed. clean beds. plenty of towels.kitchen had what we needed. BBQ had gas. My only comment would be to upgrade outdoor furniture on back deck. nice area to sit in the evening but felt the furniture very weathered and old and not really safe. apart from that, we will be back without the family. Just nana and poppa for a quiet weekend. Very accomodating Host.

Property Management
Not a good look on arrival with lawns not mowed. Beds still being made up on arrival when it was clearly agreed on the booking in time. Property had been double booked when clearly it had been paid for, before 2nd booking made. Overal management of property booking very unprofessional.

Cozy Stop off
Cozy spot with a nice view over the lake. Pretty well stocked with everything we needed. Very comfy bed with crisp clean sheets. Couple of very effective heaters kept us nice and warm. Boxing gym was active when we arrived but barely noticeable and cleared out pretty early so was never an issue.

Liked: Cleanliness
Loved the generous supply of fluffy towels. Proximity to lake and walks.
We were quite surprised by a Quite delapidated, early last century Scout Hall, (Nailed down carpet pieces, broken window, toilet lid, meagre kitchen supplies, no freezer compartment for ice) and would at best describe it a time travel adventure into early last century, NZ. No R&R place. It would have been fair to mention that the attached Gym hall is active every night, rocking the whole building or blasting out loud music.

Great place to stay
Wake up to view across the lake. And a stroll to the surf. Right on the loop walking track, kids (and adults) kayaked, surfed and walked the town tracks. Lots to hinden gems also in the area, the hill top garden, make sure you also check it out at night, it's magical, great local artists to check out, and pihama lavender farm. Nice and relaxed place to stay with family, and our son enjoyed a boxing lesson with James. Can cook if you want or just walk around the corner and you are in the town centre.
