A peaceful, well appointed, dog friendly bach offering fantastic rural views.

Very welcoming hosts and well equipped accommodation we really enjoyed our stay.

On arrival very welcoming. next day checked everything was ok.Well equipped unit. Very comfortable stay.Our pup was very happy to have her own fenced back yard.A great place to use as base to explore the area,

Beautiful spot with a perfect view looking back toward the Bay of Islands and, far in the distance, Russell.The place was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked — from an air fryer to dog towels, everything we needed was right there. We stayed for four nights and enjoyed perfectly slow, lazy mornings before heading out to explore Tutukaka and Cape Reinga.We chose this accommodation because it’s dog-friendly, and it was perfect for our small 9kg doggo to join us on this road trip. We met Richard on check-in — super warm and friendly. He showed us around and explained everything clearly.Even though the accomodation is right next to the main house, we never saw or heard them. The lush jasmine hedges between the houses added a beautiful touch and a great sense of privacy.Would love to be back. Highly recommend!

It was a lovely place to stayBoth Richard Kate was very welcoming and made us feel at home. They set up a fire for us to enjoy toasted marshmallows which was so much fun. Would definitely stay again in the future.

Burdy's nest was the perfect set-up for us. We (with our dog) were made to feel very welcome which made for a relaxing stay. The kitchen was well equipped making meal times easy. Our dog Myca enjoyed finding the doggy toys, she gave them all good go.

This is an extremely well-equipped bach in a lovely rural setting. The hosts are on-site, very friendly and helpful. For our early Spring visit the very efficient heating and hot water systems were perfect. And we were able to enjoy the great views from a covered front deck even when it was raining! We loved it!

Kate and Richard are wonderful Hosts and their accommodation is cosy and comfortable. It was great to be able to have our elderly dog with us and to know he was safe. We are elderly as well but enjoyed good flat access. Our only concern being the step into shower so it was a great surprise to return home one day to find Richard had whipped up a great step which solved the problem. Thankyou Richard and Kate, you have a lovely place and are great hosts.

Everything was comfortable

The bach had everything we needed, very well equipped little kitchen. We loved that we were able to bring our dog on holiday with us. Unsealed road to the bach was very bumpy but fortunately only unsealed for about 4km.

Cosy bach, great view, wonderful hosts. Highly recommended.

Perfect little stay. Cosy & warm, with very welcoming host. Thank you Richard & Kate

Owners are lovely and keep you informed. Had a great welcome when we arrived. Bach was nice and warm for us as was late evening when we got there. Peaceful outlook from deck and brazier was ready to go for us with marshmallows:) Will go there again
