The long weekend we stayed at Shannes Bach was a very wet & windy weekend however the Bach was very comfortable & warm and a great place to return to at the end of the day. Glad we had wifi access & also glad there was no TV because it was peaceful without it. Loved the design & style of the place. Very roomy & spacious. Great Kitchen. Very good location for areas like Hahei & Hot Water Beach and the ferry across to Whitianga is so handy. We missed out on walking to Cathedral Cove because of the weather & attempted to walk along Hot Water beach but got blown back to our car so do plan to come back to the area again at some stage & would definitely recommend this place to others & would stay here again in the future. Beds were really comfy. Thanks for the great stay.
