Description from owner
Description
Bush Sand and Sea at Bethells Beach is a one bed roomed, self contained and elegant accommodation nestled in New Zealand's native bush of the Waitakere Ranges of Auckland's Wild West Coast.
Enjoy the peace, tranquility and seclusion of this environmentally-conscious retreat. Explore the bush walk with its bridges, board walks and stream. Enjoy our late departure policy after visiting the glow worms in the evening.
Whether you are escaping the city for the weekend, looking to recharge your batteries or looking for a beautiful pause in your trip through Aotearoa (New Zealand), we look forward to welcoming you
For Guests who arrive from Overseas, come directly to us from the Airport and who book 3 nights or more, we will shop according to your list, so those extra provisions are ready for you. You can reimburse the cost once here and you don't have to stop at any Supermarket while jet lagged!

Response from the owner Grazie per la revisione, e dopo solo una notte! Mi è piaciuto il titolo! È così comune che ospiti arrivano e trovano in realtà non vogliono tornare in macchina e andare a prendere qualcosa da mangiare. Ecco perché abbiamo un congelatore e un orto. Le 2 ragazze giovani tedeschi che sono venuti dopo che amavi la raccolta erbe fresche per andare con la loro cena insalata. Il nostro motto è "ogni soggiorno Ospite deve essere il migliore possibile". Saluti, Lyn e Alan.

Response from the owner You were very welcome! We know that those awful early flights leave weary travellers in need of a restful place and we are happy that we can provide that. Some arrive and immediately sleep, others have a cuppa and off they go, leaving their bags safely with us. We would like to be treated the same wherever we travel on the planet.

Response from the owner Thank you for the heartfelt feedback. It's long, but accurate in detail, so we appreciate the effort it takes, especially when you are still on holiday. Many Guests INTEND to give feedback once they return home, but life is busy and words are cheap. To fully review shows commitment, genuine respect and enjoyment. Kind regards and good luck with your whole trip.

Response from the owner I am sorry i missed this review. But this Guest's experience is a common scenario for us. We are here to make each stay the best it can be, we are small so can give personalised attention, AND we like learning from others too. It keeps us in touch. Conversely, if Guests want peace, quiet and total privacy, we can offer that too!
