• Two families stayed at A Bach over Easter and had a wonderful time. It’s the perfect kiwi Bach, in the best location just a few moments walk from Oneroa. Richard was a great host, with lots of local recommendations and really good comms. It’s a lovely, cosy spot and we would definitely stay again. Thanks for having us!

• "Very good with emails, lots of communication received and then we were handed over to Sharonagh who was excellent with our queries during our stay, even showed concern that we hadn't arrived when she had swung by (we had but had dropped luggage and headed out to vineyards). This bach is located in a great spot, 30 second walk to township. Well looked after, clean and open plan. Great to have the linen and cleaning built into fee. We were able to easily arrive and depart by bus, so no car required. Lovely decks for socialising on, 5 ladies thoroughly enjoyed this renovated bach."
