I recently stayed at Jan’s place with my two sisters and I must say Calaisbach is the cutest and loveliest little original bach. The location on Waiheke island is perfect, it’s the more local area away from the busy tourist parts, but in walking distance to shops and bus stops. Jan has done a great job with decorating the place with a beautiful 50s and 70s vibe and modern touches like the extremely comfortable beds and heater. The Bach had everything you need and was super clean. Jan was great and very helpful host, communication with him was so easy. If you get the chance to stay at Calaisbach you won’t be disappointed, and ask Jan for some of his bread it’s delicious.
