Great location and has everything needed. Shame there isn’t much sun that gets into the house. Smelled quite musty but easy to air out. Great hosts, easy to deal with.

Magnificent view settled in beautiful NZ bush

Great little bach, magnificent view from the deck and kitchen / dining areas. Awesome fire pit for roasting marshmallows. Lots to do even on rainy days - we had great fun playing Pictionary. Very private. Surrounded by beautiful NZ bush. Lots to see and do. Highly recommend!

Very busy 4 night stay

Awesome place in Okiwi bay. Has everything you could need. Very comfortable, spacious accommodation. Lots to do around the area, some amazing day trips, taken out fishing with one of the locals in French Pass, and Snorkeled with stingrays at Elaine Bay. As well as sup boarding and kayaking and scuba diving. Lucky enough to be living off the land while we were there and even had a pile to take home. Fantastic time by all, even the teens. Highly recommend. Oh and the stars at night with no light pollution is sensational

Disappointing

So disappointing that I don’t where to start. On arrival key was not where I was told it would be, luckily I was able to contact Stayz. On entering the place absolutely stank and the place was extremely grubby, poo on the underside of toilet seat plus empty toilet rolls on floor, spillage in microwave, had to make own bed, windows filthy making it hard to see the great view (only decent thing) No instructions on how to work TV. couldn’t leave as I had paid up front. No beach access,had to drive to beach in Okiwi Bay! …………….. not a happy camper. For the price I paid it was daylight robbery. It’s just a batch expect nothing more.

Property has a great view overlooking the bay and is a very private spot tucked in amongst the native bush. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. Good outdoor set up with covered area, bbq, fire and small octagonal veranda which was perfect for our morning coffee. Thanks!
