Sadly the weather didn't play ball and it was pouring it down all day Saturday, but we came prepared with boardgames so made use of the fire and living area. We had an issue with the hot water but I have since told Megan and she's going to get it looked at. The space is higgldypiggldy but that adds to quirkiness of it, but if you're expecting 5* accommodation you'll be disappointed - this is quaint and old school Kiwi bach style. We had an amusing moment where we didn't find the toilet in the main house until the following day. If you're planning on doing lots of cooking for large groups you may want to bring your own pots and pans as the ones in the bach are quite old - there's only 2 frying pans and one doesn't have a handle. Beds were comfy, gardens awesome and living space large enough for us to all chill out and not trip over each other. Place was louder than I was expecting but didn't bother us especially as little traffic at night time - we got a really good sleep. Very quick to drive into Whangamata for the New World or restaurants and cafes plus the beach.
