The Bach is a small cottage moved to the site by the Rope family (Bryce Rope, All Black coach 1983-84)  in the '60's? by barge. We purchased the property from George Thomas in 1985 and lived there as a young family from 1986 - 1991. It had long term tennants until 1998 when we renovated it for holiday accommodation.

A sample of some of our guests comments. As is evident, many people appreciate the special feel of our bach and this is what makes it great to share it.

The Far North is a fantastic area to explore. We have here for 24 years and still we are finding incredibly beautifull beaches and bush for the first time. Included are photos of places within 2 hours drive of our great base in Mill Bay.

The Far North is a mecca for water sports, especilly surfing, kayaking and wind sports, (wind and kitesurfing). There is always a beach close by which gets the right wind or swell. There is a choice of east coast beaches and the famous Shippies within 40 minutes drive of the bach for surfing and for the wind sports there is the fantastic Karikari peninsular. Rangiputa (west and SW winds) and Tokerau Beach (for almost any wind but great in easteries for wave riding)
