Pearl 
“Awesome property/location right on the beach - very relaxing!”
Incredibly comfortable beds with good quality linen and towels (didn’t use the mezzanine bedroom area as there were only three of us). It was fantastic to be able to take our two miniature fox terriers with us - they loved the location just as much as we did! Thank you for a great stay!

Kathleen “Super! Loved the fireside warmth on one very cold day, the view was to-die-for and the proximity to the donut and coffee cart was awesome!”
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home, I hope we can return! Katie and Don
- Kathleen, October 2024Caroline “Such a special property!”
We had the most wonderful week spent relaxing and exploring. It couldn’t be better. Thank you for sharing your lovely house.
- Caroline, March 2024Debi “We really enjoyed our stay, such a good location, clean and tidy and was awesome we got to bring our dogs too.”
Thank-you for the amazing memories made!
- Debi, March 2024Jack “Really enjoyed our stay, definitely be wanting to come back again”
- Jack, October 2023Shannon “We stayed here for 3 incredible nights, location was perfect and with the beach access really made our holiday easy with the kids!”
The accomodation had everything you need and more, loaded with activities and games for the kids and for the adults to chill! Plus the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. We will definitely be back!!
- Shannon, October 2023Jacki “Amazing location and wonderful house.”
Highly recommended.
- Jacki, July 2023Gabrielle “We love this bach.”
Have stayed there three times. Worth the drive and great place to be rain or shine. Lovely beach access, relaxed community and our wee dog Ted loves it. Fishing fun. Thanks for sharing your lovely escape with us.
- Gabrielle, June 2023Liz “Thank you for a wonderful stay.”
It was so nice to go somewhere with our two dogs. The kids weren't happy going unless the dogs came with us! Great location, fab accommo. Would love to head back for a bit longer next time.
- Liz, May 2023Sophie “Great place bonus having lots of games for kids and adults on rainy days.”
Right on the beach, if you're lucky you'll see penguins! Down side is the cleaning fee being so high yet the house not being that clean, didn't look to have been vacuumed when we arrived and window ledges full of dead bugs. Not a big issue but with the cost of the cleaning fee you'd expect a higher standard. Overall would recommend as the location is fab!
- Sophie, May 2023Claude “Loved our stay in this gorgeous home, perfect location and perfect weather.”
Would love to come back and stay again.
- Claude, March 2023Elise “LOVE, LOVE, LOVE This place!”
!! Beautifully clean! Well kitted out. Great location. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back. Thanks so much for the lovely stay!!
- Elise, February 2023Gabrielle “Almost reluctant to tell you how good this place is, as we want to come back again and it might be all booked out!”
Our second stay here and not disappointed. Thank you for sharing this awesome holiday home with us. Great memories made again.
- Gabrielle, October 2022Nicqui “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mohua thank you.”
Great location and view, the bach is very well appointed and comfortable. We were warm and cosy and enjoyed watching the birds and walking along the beach. Great place to explore that part of Golden Bay from too.
- Nicqui, October 2022Marco “Really beautiful home, perfectly equipped and very comfortable.”
Lots of toys and games for the kids which was a massive bonus! Very special place, thank you for sharing it! House is advertised with BBQ but there was none. When we called Bachcare we were told it was broken and they didn't replace it yet, it would have been nice to know it in advance so to organise the proper food. House is pet friendly which is awesome, but next door neighbour has 2 very large Rottweilers and the property is not fenced so we had to keep our pup inside, also a resident 3 or 4 houses down the beach was extremely aggressive when he saw our little dog running on the beach, he yelled and threatened us and our kids on 3 occasions, apparently he was worried about the birds, ironic as during our stay there were quad bikes running up and down the beach with no consideration of birds.
- Marco, September 2022Bronwyn “Beautiful location, loved the fireplace and the care gone into making you feel welcome.”
- Bronwyn, August 2022Aaron “Awesome spot.”
I suggest an ant fumigation twice a year inside and on the property boundary. Have stayed twice now and Ants have been bad both times.
- Aaron, July 2022Lisa “Lovely property right on the beach.”
It was well stocked with kitchen supplies and games and puzzles to do. The fire was amazing at heating the large space quickly. The beds were super comfy. We loved tasking our pets for a holiday here. Thank you so much.
- Lisa, June 2022Renee “Loved it well supplied and amazing Amazing bed!”

The property was clean and tidy and in a fantastic location great having a shop next door and a lovely bar/restaurant across the road meals were very good
- carl, May 2022Mary “Great property in a lovely spot by the sea.”
Close to lots of great places to see; Wharariki beach, Salisbury falls, farewell spit. Very comfortable home.
- Mary, January 2022Dave “Great house with big spaces, all amenities catered for.”
Private yard with direct stair access to beach. Would stay again.
- Dave, December 2021andrew “A really comfortable holiday home on a sea front site.”
The property is well equipped and very homely. We caught fish surf casting on beach, a general store next door is very handy. Highly recommend for a peaceful relaxing break.
- andrew, December 2021CAROL “This is an ideal bach for a family or couples with kids.”
It's a big house with excellent facilities and spaces to chill.lots of space to park cars and boat. The beach is gorgeous.Plenty of people fishing with kontikis and small boats.Apparently you can catch kingfish on fly rods .locals and other visitors are very friendly. Pakawau is a handy base for all the various scenic trips.
- CAROL, November 2021Ruth “Lovely property would stay again but will not risk loosing money if there are ...”
Lovely property would stay again but will not risk loosing money if there are further lockdowns as Bachcare do not refund
- Ruth, September 2021Thank you for your review, Ruth! We're sorry to hear there is a misunderstanding around our policy. We can see you were travelling between two locations that were under Alert Level 2 at the time, permitting travel for recreation purposes, so no refund or credit would in that case apply. Hopefully this helps clarify! We're glad you were able to travel and that you enjoyed your stay. Bachcare
Clare “Beautiful place!”
Everything was made sp easy by Bachcare. Thankyou
- Clare, June 2021Bianca “Fantastic location, well laid out and comfort bach with direct beach access”
- Bianca, February 2021Wendy “What an amazingly spotless clean and gorgeous home!”
The plan and open living design provide you with heavenly views lots of light and warmth! All amenities, facilities, linen and provisions are 100% to high standards! The outside area flowing into the immediate access to the beach just tops it off to bring the most idyllic surroundings. Paradise for sure! Georgina the ma Agee is the most amazing person to deal with. Instant replies and so easy to contact! Most memorable stay and I would definitely recommend and return! ☀️
- Wendy, November 2020Sai “A great spot.”
We really loved it. House was just like how we wanted. Highly recommended.
- Sai, November 2020Brent “Blissful spot and great whare!”
Enjoyed every second, dined on cockles we collected ourselves, visited the resident seal, had a great meal at the pub across the road - we'll be back!!
- Brent, June 2020Deborah “Great house right on the beach, swimming especially good at high tide.”
House was very comfortable with everything thought of, even a bottle of wine provided by owners on arrival - nice touch. House managers were excellent, we will be back and certainly recommend to others. Thanks, Debbie & Trevor
- Deborah, February 2020Tong “Everything is fine, we are very satisfied”
- Tong, December 2019Doreen “The location is amazing, right on the beach.”
As a keen photographer, I watched two stunning sunrises. In October, the sun rises from the ocean directly in front of the house. Everything possible is provided in the way of kitchen equipment. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms excellent. I can wholeheartedly recommend this house for a wonderful holiday.
- Doreen, October 2019Noreen “Super relaxing time at this very well set up house.”
Right on the beach, outdoor bath, everything was thought of. Didn’t want to leave !!

If you are thinking about coming to stay in this house , please don`t hesitate any longer , you will not be disappointed .
- MARGARET, July 2019Richard “We loved this house!”
We were literally steps away from the beautiful beach. We had a wonderful view from inside, and there was a very nice outdoor sofa as well. Loved taking a dip, and went for a long walk on the mostly deserted beach. The inside was excellent as well, with new kitchen appliances and everything you'd need to cook in. There's a washer/dryer which is big help at the beach. Beds were super comfortable, bathrooms were great, and the design of the home and little touches gave it a combination of cool and warmth. My daughter loved hanging out in the little loft area. There's a restaurant across the street that came in handy, and it's a short drive to Collingwood. So all in all, a great base for either exploring Golden Bay, or chilling with a good bottle of something.
- Richard, February 2019Richard “We loved our stay at Mohua, Pakawau.”
Very relaxing. We chose to stay at the house mostly and have a lazy time. We had stocked up with provisions in Takaha so we did not need to leave the house. There is lots to do and see if you want to but we had done most of the sightseeing on previous visits to Golden Bay. Swimming everyday at high tide became a ritual. The Apple TV was a problem for us (couldn't work out how to use it even with instructions) so we did not use it. Instead we listened to the Concert Programme and did lots of reading. There is poor radio reception in this area but we used the App on our tablet to give us background music and the news. The king bed in the main bedroom gave an excellent sleep. The water tank was low as it had been a dry summer but that was not a problem for us as we know the drill on these occasions. We did get up early once for the 6am summer sunrise; well worth it. I went back to bed again and slept until 10.30 am. That lovely bed was to blame!
- Richard, February 2019Szy “The house was nice and cozy.”
It had a great view to the sea and we really enjoyed the easy access to the beach. However we did not have a good experience with the manager Helen. She really lacked communication and made this otherwise wonderful stay a bit of inconvenience.
- Szy, December 2018Hi Azy, we're sorry to hear that you didn't have the best time with your local Holiday Manager, and we hope that we have the chance to make this up to you in the future. Wonderful to hear you loved the access to the beach - we think that's fantastic too! Bachcare
