Reviews

Lovely cottage, great location, super comfortable. Highly recommend

Jenny - Oct, 2022

This is a proper old school bach but in great nick with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing escape. And so close to the beach you can listen to the waves as you fall asleep. It was pretty hard to leave!

Kristal - Oct, 2022

Wonderful stay & amazing location.

Karl - Oct, 2022

Excellent location, very close to the beach with everything there for a Dad to look after his three kids for a week, while Mom works in the city!

Steve - Oct, 2022

A very well kept, lovely little sanctuary mere footsteps from the beach. Local restaurants and convenience stores combined with great in house amenities made for a very simple stay (logistically). Combine that with an ebike hire (separate business) which drops off to your location, you have a very affordable, peaceful yet fun getaway. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic location right by the beach, this is a great example of a simple kiwi bach. Communication was excellent, we really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing house and great location to the beach!

Johnny - Apr, 2022

Wonderful spot right on the beach and near some great restaurants. We spent most of the time dining out but wish we’d had an extra couple of days just to laze about at the cottage. Perfect beach vibe.

Amazing value, very cool little place in the perfect location.

A charming quintessential kiwi bach right on the water. We had such a fantastic stay - whilst the bach itself is pretty basic it is still very well appointed and has lovely outdoor spaces. The stay at Waiheke staff were very responsive to our questions which was appreciated. Going to sleep by the sounds of the waves and reading our books with views of the sea was a real treat. The outdoor shower was also fantastic for rinsing off after our countless swims. We were so sad to leave this little haven.

A classic Kiwi bach with great views over Onetangi and walking distance to the beach. Basic amenities but what you expect with an older bach. We stayed here a week and we loved it, just the ticket after a challenging year!

We had a lovely time at sunshine cottage, the sun was indeed shining! A great batch experience, location fantastic. A beautiful humble little cottage. We would love to return.

We came away for a long weekend with kids (3) and the space was perfect! Great to be right by the sea. So cute to stay in a kiwi style Bach too!
