Cottage a Parua Bay

“Hi,I phoned during our stay about the state of 82 Sandy Bay Farms road. The biggest concern was the smell of the water from the faucets, especially in the showers and baths. The water had a significant sewage smell to it. It lingered on all of us after we've been through a shower or a bath. The exterior of the house was also dirty. I've sent some photos in a separate email. There were spiderwebs everywhere, one of the white tails got into the house, but I got rid of it before it got close to my...

“It is just stunning. So well presented. Great beds..Lovely treats provided. Can’t wait to book again”

“Just needed an outdoor shower. Fantastic 100% otherwise”

“Perfect spot to stay in amazing Matapouri. The house is pretty well equipped for large family or group. Large garden and deck are entertainer’s dream. Our toddler loved toys, trampoline and swings. Highly recommended!”

“Beautiful bach in a perfect beachside location. The house is modern, well-insulated, and equipped with all the essentials. The space feels warm and welcoming, and the hosts, Jesse and Jeanie, were fantastic—friendly and thoughtful, keeping in touch to make sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.”

“Ideal location to chill-out. Well equipped and clean”

“Stunning location and views! Can’t fault the property”

“The third 3 day stay of a 9 day holiday. The bach/chalet was well appointed, to a high standard, and suitable for couples. Set down a small track it is in a quiet location and is a good base to explore Whangarei heads and the adjacent coast. A pleasant and comfortable place for a long weekend.”

Also Bachcare sent us the wrong lockbox code but we’re lucky they answered the phone with the first call and rectified the problem. Thankyou to the owners for renting out their home so people like us can have a summer holiday at the best location!!”

“Clean, tidy well equiped bach. A little walk to gorgeous beach. Would highly recommend. Wish we had stayed longer.”

“Kathryn and Kevin were such lovely hosts. We had to amend our booking due to the Auckland floods and they were very understanding and accommodating. There was even a bottle of wine and chocolate waiting for us on arrival as an acknowledgment of how hard it had been for us to get there which was such a lovely touch. The cottage is new, clean and prettily decorated and is in an excellent location to get to Ocean Beach and the surrounding bays. We just wish the weather had been better as Ocean...
