Our group consisting of two couples had a great stay at the bach which yes is quaint but functional and clean and is in a good location both for accessing Mapua and also Moteuka, Kaiteriteri and Rabbit Island. Sian's communication was good and we found her helpful. The new shade in the garden could do with a base to stop it swinging around as it does when mounted in the table and the Tuis nesting in the tree were a great delight to listen to. The walk to the headland proved manageable for my older folks who enjoyed watching the birdlife and sunsets. The meals at the Sprig and Fern and of course the Smokehouse made for easy night out locallys and the Grape Escape cafe was well worth a drive to. We would love to return when next holidaying in the area.
