An old-fashioned unpretentious kiwi bach
Travelling from Auckland to the Interislander ferry, we needed an overnight accommodation that got us close enough to the ferry without being 'in town' and this bach met our needs very well. It is adequate and satisfactory and while there is much scope for improvements, it doesn't pretend to be anything other than it is. We are grateful for the opportunity for a safe and satisfactory place to stay over. Thank you Kathy and Hitoshi.

Cute and cozy
Great location and super cozy house inside. Cool little notes around so you can figure out what to do. Soak in the sun and sand. Hard to get the kids to leave the playground to see the beach or even walk the beach because so much to play with in the sand. Friendly locals. Good dvd collection. Thanks for sharing your space with us and for happy memories

Comfortable beach bach
We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable bach. It is basic but has everything you need. It is close to the awesome Himatangi beach and a dairy. It has a large section which would be ideal for family. Thanks for the stay

Lovely basic Bach!
The house was great, had everything we needed! Compact, but was nice to have three bedrooms as well as a dining room and lounge so heaps of space for everyone! Bathroom was great, we did have reservations when reading it was outside, but it's right by the door, just like an old wash house. Himitangi was a great place to stay and the takeaway shop was great! We would definitely stay again!

Expected more comfortable house. Only 1picure on book a batch. House old and disappointing
I would not recommend this batch to any of my friends or family. No WiFi, bath room outside and not very modern. We were disappointed and bit pricey too.

Cozy Kiwi Bach
We had a fantastic winter beach holiday. The house was so cozy and warm for our young family. Comfy warm beds, lovely and clean house with great hot water and pressure. The dvds were a massive hit after a busy day at the beach. We will be back. Thank you Kathy and Hitoshi.

A small and cozy bach at Himatangi beach. We stayed there to attend our football tournament in Palmerston North so we did not get to explore the area at all unfortunately. But we really enjoyed the cozy little bach. Thank you Kathy and Hitoshi.

Great old style Kiwi Bach nr the beach. Quiet and cosy.
Lovely old Bach with everything you need to enjoy a break away from the hustle of the city. Comfy 3 bed w all you need. Self contained only bring your food to be able to enjoy a very reasonably priced stay. Large section if u want to set up the net for volleyball, or whatever takes your fancy. Beach store and Fish and chips a 10 minute walk away. 30 mins to Palmerston North. Foxton 15mins up the road. 7 Kms from SH1 so easy to find. Lovely place indeed. Highly recommended.
