We had a lovely stay at Brian's bach with our 2 year old and new born. Brian was great to deal with and sorted us out on short notice with a re-booking after we had an emergency and had to cancel our first booking last minute. The bach has great character and everything you would need. It's right opposite the beach, where the river meets the sea, with a nice sheltered lawn for little ones to run around in. If the weather's not cooperating, the views from inside are stunning and are an excellent plan B. We love the Tora/Te Awaiti coast and we'd be glad to stay again.
