What a beautiful home, so comfortable and welcoming after a long stressful week at work. My sister inlaw was supposed to come from Hastings but couldn't make it at the last minute due to health reasons so my brother in-law and partner stayed. Sorry we didn't get to meet Patsy but we all thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. instead

Happy non - fishers!
A super clean, tidy, and comfortable place to stay in laid back Kawhia, The ever changing view over the harbour as the tide rolled in and out was very relaxing and even though the fishing trip was cancelled due to the big swell we had some quality time to chill out. Many thanks to Patsy, our hostess for the part she played in making our stay very special. Jenny

Roomy house
Great location in a quite street, roomy house with comfy beds. The owner was lovely and helpful and mentioned places to see. Sea views were small but patsy did mention she was going to cut back some trees. I must mention the shower was a 2/10 for pressure. Other than that we had a very pleasant stay.Thank you Patsy 😊

Beautiful whare!
We had a wonderful stay in Kawhia - Patsy’s bach is the perfect place for a lovely weekend get away. Plenty of space for everyone and a gorgeous garden with lots of sun to enjoy. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Thank you Patsy for making it so easy for us. Will definitely be back again!

I regularly book this accommodation for an annual tribal event in Kaawhia, it's always tidy, cozy and spacious for us all who stay each year. Patsy is so lovely, easy to communicate with and always accommodating. It's a real joy and privilege to stay here every year. Highly recommend to large groups and families.

Spacious family home
The house has plenty of space and areas for family members to spread out; large lounge, conservatory, covered deck, and lawn. There were no basic food supplies in the kitchen, eg salt and pepper, oil, tea, coffee, so bring your own. Kāwhia was very hot when we visited, and so was the house, especially the bedrooms in the evening as there are no fans or air conditioning. Lots of mosquitoes bites. Excellent communication from Patsy. Very friendly locals in Kāwhia.

A wonderful bach in a great location
Patsy is a great host. She even made the beds for us before we arrived and messaged me a few times - once, to tell us there were Orcas in the harbour. She also called by the house to meet us, but unfortunately we were out. The house is/has everything you'd need. The location is good. We enjoyed and recommend Aotea Beach. The hot spring beach is also good, but walking over the sand dune to get there was unbearable as the sand was so hot. The local store closes at 5pm - the owners are very friendly and helpful. The Sands restaurant is great as is the cafe at the local store. All in all, we had a wonderful family holiday. Thank you Patsy for sharing your house with us!

Cozy home, beautiful location
The location cannot be beat - we loved being a short walk to the general store and wharf, and up the hill a bit for peekaboo views of the water. Wi-Fi at the library near the general store. The home feels a bit worn, but very cozy. Soft beds. For the price it felt somewhat basic: we could have used some face towels / washcloths, and a couple other staples that we usually find at other vacation rentals: paper towels, clean sponge, salt/pepper. Patsy was just a phone call away at all times and was warm and welcoming, a wonderful host. We had the perfect amount of space for our family of 6 (ages 6 to 81).
