What our other guests had to say
Fantastic big spacious house with everything you need. Kelly is a friendly host, and was very accommodating with our large group of 30. The views to Kapiti Island were uninterrupted from the spa, or from the cozy fire in the lounge. Highly recommend booking big bach. You won't be disappointed

“Thanks for our stay. We enjoyed golf every day and relaxed in the spa each evening. Great to make meals together and share with good wine and good friends. ”

“Thanks Big Bach for the upgrades you’ve done. We’ve stayed here several times and were blown away by the work you’ve done on each room. We loved using the new spa and the kids spent the whole weekend playing in the new games room.”
