Andrea
We had the most magical week at Euan's holiday home. From the minute you walk in the back door -and gasp at the view through the french doors - it has a wonderful homely feel , very relaxing and cosy. Everything was beautifully clean and tidy and the kitchen is so generously stocked that you end up feeling you are being treated. On the evening the wind was coming off the beach, the BBQ in the sun trapped back garden was great. There is plenty of holiday reading, body boards and kayaks/life jackets under the house for water activities. Loved the walks along the beach each morning with a visit to the one of 2 local shops for ice cream. Will definitely be back to this little piece of kiwi heaven. Thanks Euan

Totally recommend a stay at Euan’s beach Bach!! Direct access to the beach with safe swimming and the most amazing tropical garden hideaway for quiet afternoons/evenings sitting it the sun (or under a shady tree). The Bach is well equipped with everything you might need and more. Clean, tidy and super comfortable. Can’t wait to go back!!

We had the most wonderful stay at Euan's batch - everything had been wonderfully considered, the kitchen was stocked with everything you need (even things you didn't think you needed). Euan has clearly thought about how guests might stay, rain, sun or otherwise - everything from books, board games, bodyboards to kayaks & life jackets were provided. But its also the small details, such as vessels to wash the sand off your feet before entering the batch, that make you feel this is home (even if its only for a few days). The bathrooms were large & beautifully cleaned, beds were large & perfectly comfortable. Honestly it was a dream opening up the curtains in the morning & looking out to the bay. Morning walks to get a flat white from Skips (or a sneaky long cream-filled doughnut) & walk the bay sipping on a coffee, or heading to the diary for ice-cream to cool off in the afternoon - between the 2 shops we needed for nothing. Talking about dreams - for someone who has never been a fan of fish & chips, I'm still dreaming about Skip's snapper & chips. Thanks Euan, you were a super host, extremely responsive & we loved our stay!!
