Exactly what I needed and was expecting - quiet, calm, beautiful scenery, comfortable bed, a short drive to the beach. Beware of the cute elderly dog Tank who will visit you. Tank has been deprived of belly rubs his whole entire life and you may be the only person who can remedy this.

Peace and quiet in the country!

We had a lovely stay in Porongahau. Katrina’s place was great for us to chill and take in the fresh country air, with visits from Tank the friendly dog and a lovely horse to pat. The Bach is very rustic, with an attached compost toilet and a gas heated hose for a shower, which added to the adventure and country charm! Katrina was a great host and very friendly.One thing that the place would benefit from is some curtains. Other than that - it was a great stay :)
