Many thanks to Clare, Graeme and whanau for your warm welcome and kindness. The Bach was both spacious and comfortable. It's the perfect place to chill. There's a lovely marine reserve right next door, an ideal spot for swimming and exploring. We had a lovely time. Ia manuia.

Our family of young & older had a lovely stay at Thistle Do. Clare & Graeme were very welcoming & there was everything we needed for a comfortable relaxed time. The small ones enjoyed the swings there & the beach & walks are so handy. Comfortable beds & a great place to unwind. Thank you

What a lovely place, perfect for a day off (or two) from hiking Te Araroa! :-)
Response from Owner
We so enjoyed having you break your journey at Thistledo, before proceeding over the water. A pity you saw no kiwi, but hopefully you will tick that box in the South Island. Cheers Clare
