The great - Dogs are welcomed, so much appreciation for this; the fire and the wood supply awesome so the bach is easy to heat and keep warm. Easy access to the beach and top of the Golden Bay coast line. The average - We didn't sleep well on the beds at all, however, Emma, the host has indicated they intend to upgrade these and that would be an awesome improvement in my opinion. There was an issue with a couple of white tail spiders - as is not uncommon on the coast - and I have communicated this with Emma. Given she was very receptive to feed back I am sure she will do what she can to reduce chance of future spider visits :) If you want a real iconic kiwi bach experience - stay here.
