Jude and Joce are the best of hosts and the bach is a great place to stay! We drove straight there after landing in Auckland and they were there to welcome us and show us straight down to the beautiful beach, where, despite their warnings and offers of sunscreen, we baked ourselves bright red. The Bach is adorable and had everything one might need - the perfect place to recuperate after a long flight, just sitting and gazing out over the ocean, helping ourselves to the home-made strawberry and rhubarb preserves, and a fine nights sleep on a very comfortable bed. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer to enjoy the kayaks, but we were off on the relatively short drive to see Cathedral Cove. One tip - use the bread, butter, eggs and milk provided to make yourself some french toast served with those preserves - Yum! I highly recommend this lovely place and happy, lucky people.
