Awesome absolute beachfront. The quintessential Kiwi Bach

Beautiful rustic bach. 10 Star location, so private and yet so on the beach, as what you can get. Just loved it!

On the beach

The building reminded me of our old beach bach at Mt Maunganui many years ago, and it was ideal for my much needed break. Clean, comfortable and literally right on the beach - just what I needed! Also very well equipped for a family lunch whilst there.

Unique old school bach right on the beach. Fantastic location but needs a couple of items sorted to reach a maximum rating. Will communicate these to the property manager

Cute little bach front row to a lovely beach

We really enjoyed our 5 nights here. The bach is as described, basic but comfortable, with good cooking facilities and a homely vibe and wonderful location. Thanks for sharing!! 🌞

We loved the Pipi Palace

The Pipi Palace was exactly what we wanted.....A back to basics holiday ( if fridge/freezer, air fryer and wifi is basic these days!). It's an amazing location and we relived my cherished childhood memories of summer hols at Papamoa. Don't change a thing and enjoy a simple holiday whilst you can........

Pipi palace is a little piece of paradise for anyone who doesn't want all the flashy modcons but wants to be comfortable and warm in an amazing setting. Communication was best done by texting but Annie got back in a timely manner. We'll definitely be back

Lovely winter break

We enjoyed two nights here, the weather played its part and it was simply stunning! Very relaxing, close to shops and pub. Couldn’t get any closer to the beach - superb location! The Bach is as listed and not 5 star but the view makes up for that! Very comfortable and warm. Unfortunately no milk or sugar was supplied so we couldn’t have a cuppa tea on our first night - we arrived very late. But we sorted that in the morning. No flannels, no other little extras like little body wash ect so make sure you bring everything with you. Other than that - superb!
