Hemal “Thanks to Brian who made our stay comfortable and enjoyable.”
Our big family really enjoyed the stay at this beautiful home. Perfect place to stay to enjoy Paihia dolphins cruise, hole in the rock, and the 90 mile beach tour. Kia Ora. Bhatt, Joshi and Dave family from USA and NZ.

Shaneeta “The Tahuna Family Escape was a beautiful spacious whare for our whānau to relax and enjoy.”
It had everything we needed and more. We had so much fun here. It is a lovely, spacious, and relaxing home that caters to all ages. Thank you Brian and your beautiful wife.
- Shaneeta, October 2024Jignesh “Home very nice upstairs bunk bed found spider kids can’t sleep there when they clean need to check .”
- Jignesh, January 2024Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we are sorry that on this occasion the cleanliness of the property was not to our usual high standard. We will organise a deep clean to be done at the property to ensure more in-depth cleaning is completed to ensure this does not happen again. Bachcare
Shane “This place suited us really well for a combined family holiday as we checked out the Bay of Islands.”
- Shane, January 2024Amelia “A fabulous house for our extended family holiday with great toys for our 3yo.”
Plenty of space for play and some separate areas so that everyone had a bit of breathing room.
- Amelia, November 2023Natasha “Beautiful family home that had everything to entertain adults (lovely deck with a few quiet ones) as well as kids (games room).”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone looking for a short stay. Regret not booking an extra day for us to fully enjoy the home as we were traveling from Auckland to Cape Reinga but will definitely do so next time! Thank you so much.
- Natasha, November 2023Shane “A comfortable house for a large group.”
We had an easy time there. The kitchen was well set up. The kids liked the games room and the ability to have their own space. We felt well looked after by the owners next door.
- Shane, July 2023Ken “Our large family group (8 adults, 6 children--2 under 2) had a wonderful time, despite uncertain weather.”
The large detached games room allowed the older children to get outside even in the rain, and the wendy-house had lots of toys to keep the two little boys busy. The short walk to the treaty grounds and museums (and the start of the Haruru falls track) was great, but we had no problems making the daily walk into central Paihia either. It was great to have the use of the kayak, adding to the two we brought with us. There was a very handy Countdown within a km of the house, and the house itself was a bit like the Tardis--larger on the inside than it appeared from the outside. And it was in fact nice to have the property managers living just next door!
- Ken, April 2023Danny “Awesome bach - great hosts - we had a wonderful few days - thanks Brian.”
- Danny, March 2023Molly “A fab Bach with everything we needed.”
Perfectly clean with a well set up kitchen. The games room was a lot of fun and our kids had a blast. Would absolutely come back.
- Molly, December 2022Gwen “Wonderful place to stay.”
Had misgivings but turned out perfect. Very quiet neighbour's on one side (cemetery) and very friendly couple on the other side.
- Gwen, November 2022Nick “Everything was perfect for what we needed, only issue was we couldn’t get the key firmly back into the lock box.”
Thanks Nick
