We had blissful time at the bach . Overlooking South Piha . Away from the crowds yet 2 mins walk to the beach ( once you had descended the steps ) . The view from the deck was phenomenal. All the windows in the main bedroom, dining room and kitchen opened out to the view of south Piha and Te Piha (Lion Rock ). You can watch the surfers from dawn to dusk. The house was perfect for our needs . The Bach has Lovely simple touches . I especially loved the domestic ware pottery .
