Staying in Jude and Jocelyn's bach was EVERYTHING, and the perfect way to start our trip in NZ. Besides the perfect lodging, you are a shirt walk away from what is essentially a private beach. Jeff and I had 2 miles of coastline to ourselves in the early evening of our first night...incredible. From moment one, we were welcomed warmly and made to feel right at home. I cannot recommend the bach enough. Book it if you can -- you'll leave with the best memories.
