This historical and cozy bach has a rural outlook and is just a short stroll to the beach. A character bach that started life as a Mill worker’s hut, it has since been a holiday park cabin and home. It is now enjoyed as a holiday house, and is well equipped for your stay. This is the place to stay if you want a true kiwi bach experience and don’t expect perfection.
The bach is a perfect location to get to the best parts of Golden Bay: Wharariki, Farewell Spit, Whanganu

Stayed Apr 20, 2025The property is classic Kiwi batch, a bit old but very charming and full of character. The facilities are good with fully equipped kitchen, even some free coffee, tea and condiments. There are books and board games as well. The location is also very good just a minute walk from the beach. On a negative side the property needs an upgrade, lick of paint, curtains that fit the windows would go long way. You are required to clean the house after your stay, including washing the sheets and towels. I have never stayed in a batch so not sure if this is the norm, but it surprised me. Overall the communication with the owners was great, they seemed very friendly and helpful. We definitely enjoyed our stay at this property.

Stayed Jan 24, 2025Pakawau is the at the base of Farewell Spit and has a manageable number of visitors. Its a wild place with attractions that are not over-built. We walked on the beach, visited Westhaven Inlet, Wharariki Beach and Farewell Spit. The house is perfectly located and comfortable. We had a dog and she loved it all. There's a shop and a cafe/restaurant nearby. The weather precluded swimming and there were quite a few signs of stingrays.There was a whale stranding the day we left.
