We booked with Ash & Vanesch at very short notice when our plans changed and they couldn’t have been more helpful and with very quick responses that allowed us to confirm the booking within minutes. The property in Ōhope Beach is set back from the road and has everything from a garage (very useful for storing beach stuff, baby’s push chair etc.), a cool and shady private garden to a large outdoor / covered deck with bbq for dining and to enjoy the views from. The living areas of the bach are conveniently all on one level and there is a further top deck that provides the very best views of the bay and the islands. Our hosts were on hand (neighbours), very friendly but never intrusive. This part of the Bay of Plenty has much to offer the visitor and Ash & Vanesch’s bach is the ideal home to base your travels from.
