Tessa Bowden
We had a lovely time at this bach, even in the worst wintry weather! Collected kai moana, played games, swam (in thick wetsuits) and walked in the fresh weather on the beach. The house is easy to be in, well set up and cosy with the fire going. The garden would be lovely to sit in to eat in summer. Thanks for sharing your whare, we will definitely be back!

Our stay at Kereru Bach was magical. Ideal for a peaceful getaway, close to the beach and e-bike up the hill. Lots of activities for families. Nice warm fire and comfortable beds. Highly recommended.

This beach holiday home is truly amazing and offers everything you could wish for. The kids were thrilled with the playground, especially the flying fox, and had a blast hunting crabs in the lagoon. They also enjoyed exploring the magical forest and tree hut. We loved the house itself, with its stunning wood interior and fantastic outdoor BBQ area. Highly recommended great value for money!
