Beautiful Bach with great use of space, clean and tidy and amazing quirky art everywhere loved the fridge magnets Will definitely recommend this Bach and the place is so nice and quiet great for relaxing

From the minute we walked into the 'Love Shack' we absolutely loved it! Not only was the location perfect, we could not have asked for a better equipped bach that suited our needs perfectly. The fabulous array of art and the kiwiana theme work so well and we felt relaxed in the homely environment. Our two boys were absolutely thrilled to discover the box of Lego available for them to build with and after discovering the triple bunks they said it was the 'best house ever'!!! The house was so clean and tidy and the instructions that were sent through were easy to follow and covered everything. We cannot wait to book our next holiday at the 'Love Shack'.

Great place for the kids, super close to the beach

Basic, but comfortable and warm batch. Location is great with children. Quiet and relaxing experience, just what we needed.

A wonderful bach, in a great location. Kids loved the tree house. Had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.

We stayed here for a weekend away from Wellington to be close to the Great forest half marathon we competed in. Very handy location to the event just up the road. It's a lovely ground floor apartment under the hosts main house. At the odd time you can hear a little noise but very minimal and to be expected so wasnt a problem. The place is lovely and clean, loved the cruelty free Eco store products. Very short walk to beach and four square store. Highly recommend

We had a nice stay. Close to the beach. Clean and lots of space. Felt very welcome.

This was my second stay at Windy Waves apartment and it never disappoints. Great accommodation, great location and great hosts. I enjoy staying here very much, oh and it is so quiet!

An immaculate apartment with everything you could need, located in a small coastal community that has just enough local facilities to keep you happy. You can walk to the local shop (great bread baked on the premises) and the local cafe/restaurant (watch out; they close early and the portion sizes are enormous). It's far enough away from Wellington to let you easily escape to wilderness areas, but close enough to make a day trip to the big city easy. Tony and Leonie are very welcoming and friendly. They are there to help if you need them, but they give you your privacy too. A wonderful experience, staying at Windy Waves.

Very beautiful accomodation ! It was so lovely and we sleep very well. Don't hesitate to stay in this apartment it was so sweet !!!

This place is fantastic! It is really big and clean and can easily not only sleep but accommodate 5. Close to the beach and walkable to the 4 square and Pipi point restaurant where the food is excellent! The bed is comphy and the bed room can be blocked from the rest of the living area. Indoor and outdoor space is also really nice.

The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating! The house was clean and very comfortable, I wish we could have stayed for longer. The beach is beautiful and the number of stars visible at night was astounding. I've never seen so many stars!

This was a home away from home for our stay and we wished to stay longer. This unit is immaculate. There was so much room to walk around and relax, a very large kitchen and great coffee, tea, and biscuits. We felt nothing short of relaxed and comfortable in this unit and we took advantage of the fun games on the shelves as we rested for a long drive the next day. We would love to stay here again and explore the beaches!

Cosy and clean beautifully appointed real kiwi bach close to the beach. Thanks!

An absolutely wonderful place to stay! It comes complete with everything you could possibly need for a great holiday. Sola was a generous and responsive host. Would highly recommend a stay here (and seriously considering popping back again ourselves!)

A peaceful spot hidden away from the hustle and bustle, this bach is well set out with everything you could want for a beach stay.

Bach was great!!! Good communication and easy to deal with.

Another very comfortable stay at Tony & Leonie's BNB. Would definitely stay again

Leonie and Tony were lovely hosts. The room we stayed in was nice and large and very clean. We also loved the Spa bath and the beautiful breakfast in the morning!

A very relaxing stay, our hosts had thought of everything making it a great stay.

Lovely place and perfect hosts.

Leonie and Tony were very welcoming hosts. Their home is very newly built and the guest room has all the amenities you could need. They view is gorgeous, the bed was comfortable and their breakfast was lovely. Thanks for everything!

Great visit. Very nice couple. Thank you Leonie and Tony.! Very nice room with a view. The whirlpool tub was appreciated. Very nice breakfast. 5-10 minute walk to an interesting beach/road. We took a long walk, which we enjoyed after driving down from Rotorua. Food in town is limited but the local pub has a lot of flavor and good beer prices.

Fantastic place to stay while traveling for work. One of the best BnB I've been too.

Very nice, comfortable accommodation. As this is quite a distance from any evening dining options it would have been better to have had a dinner option as there are no cooking facilities and only local take-aways! But for us on a quick over-nighter all fine thanks. our timing did not allow or require host contact but we did get a rather reserved attitude but not unpleasant though.

Great house for a weekend of relaxation. It had everything we needed. Great sea view and so quiet.

We had a really great time at Cute Kiwi Bach - the house Equipment provided everything we needed and the beach, that was only a 5 Minute walk away, was simply amazing :) We didn't get to meet Sam in Person, but his mother took good care of us and our questions - thank you, Barbara! Cheers, Juergen and family

A classic kiwi bach that's within walking distance of a nice big beach. Lots of space and very comfortable. Unfortunately when we arrived the fridge needed a clean and the lounge floor a vacuum. Apart from that a good spot to stay with plenty of room and everything you need.

Great bach. Exactly as described. Great location. Booking and communication was perfect. The only reason I would have not to recommend this bach is that I don't want everyone knowing about this gem.

A wonderful batch close to the beach. So nice to rest with the whole family. It was pretty baby friendly as well!

We had a wonderful family weekend away. Waitarere is a place where you can really get away from everything. This house is well set up; it's large and homely.

Thank you for the clear directions and instructions re the key and house. We had a great weekend. The house is very comfortable, clean and family friendly. So great to share a relaxing family weekend with the whole family, including our dog. A weekend full of sun, surf and beach followed by walks to the 4 Square for ice cream cones. We will definitely stay again soon.

We had a great weekend at the Waitarere family beach house. It was fantastic that we could accommodate our dogs also. Andrews instructions were clear, the house was well appointed with everything we needed; all in all made for a relaxing stay.

Great stay

Great location, quick walk to the beach, nice sunny house, had everything we needed for 2 families with 4 under 5 yr olds.

Helen's house is in a great sunny location close to the beach and straight across from a kids playground which our child loved. The living area was really comfortable and warm & their well stocked kitchen had all the equipment & glassware we needed. This feels like a " typical kiwi family batch" full of books and games and odd bits n bobs which we liked. As with any older house, it had its quirks, finding plugs in some rooms was a challenge, however Helen was quick to respond to our queries & concerns.

We made a last minute booking - and arrived a couple of hours later. Linda was wonderfully welcoming and went out of her way to make us feel at home, showing us around (including her Monarch butterfly breeding program!) and telling us about the local area. The beds were really comfortable and we liked having our own living area etc (we stayed in the attached cottage). Best of all was the included breakfast: delicious homemade preserves and honey! We only stayed one night - it was a convenient stop driving between Whangaparaoa (Auckland) and Wellington.

I stayed there for one night. And it was awesome time for me. I was there for participating marathon event in Waitarere beach. The host is nearby the beach. So it was good for me. Guys in the host are so kind and helpful. At the morning of event day, they took me to marathon event. In addition, they gave me time to take a shower at the host after the event. they also took me to city in Levin after the event even I already checked out. I could really enjoy the time in Levin because of them. I really appreciate their kindness.

We had a great night at Archer's B&B+Pets - it was a quick trip, but Linda really made us feel at home. The children especially loved the conservatory.

I stayed at Linda's overnight on my drive from Auckland to Blenheim. It was a brief stay but very comfortable. Linda offered me the cottage since there were no other guests and it was equipped with everything you could need - a nice lounge, full kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. She also provided a great selection of breakfast options. She was also very helpful with directions to the Interislander ferry in Wellington. Linda even surprised me with a warm send off when I left at 6am! I definitely recommend Archers B&B if you need a place to stay in the area.

What an enjoyable experience! I had a great sleep followed by a great breakfast and conversation with the hosts. They had everything an "upright" overseas traveler needed. I didn't travel with any pets as I chose this place based on location, but I love the concept of being able to bring my furry companions.

Thank you Linda for a great stay and an exceptionally warm welcome. The Cottage was perfect for our stay and we thoroughly enjoyed being a short drive away from the beach.

We had a lovely stay at Linda's Cottage. We arrived later then expected and Linda immediately greeted us and showed us our lodgings and how everything in the house worked. She stocked the kitchen with plenty of food and snacks and the jams were delicious. We loved meeting her dogs and talking with her and Al and their friend, George. Being in their cottage was like a home away from home.

The place is beautiful and Linda has it all arranged to the last detail. We were greeted very kindly and showed us (and explained) every corner of the house. We left the refrigerator full of things to put together breakfast to our liking (even invited us with fruits from their own garden). Super I recommend this place, especially the attention of Linda !!!!!

Awesome wee whare, great communication from Natalie which ensured we were well prepped for our trip. Foxton Beach is a great location with a neat coffee shop and estuarine wetlands at the Manawatu mouth. Highly recommend you pick Natalie's place to holiday and experience it!!!

Lovely classic bach, close to the beautiful estuary.

Very comfortable Bach with everything you need from a home away from home. Really spacious with lovely comfy beds. The two living areas and foosball table kept the kids entertained and the adults relaxed!

Great host and great 'classic kiwi, Bach vibes'. It was a great place not too far from Wellington to get away to. 10/10 recommend.

Great place, great communication with the host. Would definitely stay again.

Great place, awesome location and very easy to enjoy. Would definitely go back. Thanks Nat!

Stayed one night, had no issues

Super spacious classic NZ Bach. Kitchen is well supplied and a big garden for kids to run around.
