Lovely little cottage. It had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast items were such a nice touch. We were a group of 3 ladies and with the layout we each had a bed in different rooms which was handy. I am a light sleeper so the road noise was a bit annoying for me when trying to fall asleep but once asleep it was all good.

A lovely cottage, immaculate and stocked with everything you need. The breakfast ingredients was a bonus with juice, yogart, toast bread & a variety of cereals. The hostess was very welcoming and gave us some good tips on places to eat.Would highly recommend

We had a wonderful time at Thistle Do Bach. Extra special service including breakfast which was very appreciated. Our little dog also had a ball of a time - thank you for letting him stay too. The Bach had everything we needed and extras like toiletry products which were lovely. Ruakaka has beautiful beaches and we will highly recommend Thistle Do Bach to family/friends too.
