Beautiful spot!

What a magic place to stay! It was like stepping back in time staying in one of the original baches in the bay. Comfy, clean, quiet and the bach has everything you need. We miss the stunning view!

Quiet stop

Our stay here was perfect, the location was ideal for a couple of rainy days we had pre-planned as restful days before our big tour of NZ. The views were lovely and the charm of this long loved Bach felt like we were part of the family. Thanks for the stay.

This was our third stay at Pen Byrn. We love that it is a truly authentic Kiwi Bach in a beautiful location. A new kitchen bench and cabinets, along with a television have been added and the bedding has been upgraded since our previous stays. Easy communication with the owner.

A classic kiwi Bach with incredible views to watch the sunset. Location is great with a short drive to Ocean Beach and walking distance to smugglers bay. Worth getting groceries on your way out as there are no shops nearby (20min drive). Old couches, some dirty dishes and filthy dish brush which wasn’t great, but otherwise comfy bed and has all the basics for a relaxed weekend away.Some outdoor loungers / furniture to go on the deck would be great to make the most of lounging at the Bach. Thanks so much!

We knew there were no shops nearby so brought everything with us. We were advised that there would be tea and coffee but there was not. We had brought our own so it didn't matter. Otherwise it was comfortable and clean and we enjoyed our stay thank you.

This is an old and quirky property with lots of history! The views are spectacular and the neighbors are friendly. The grounds are well cared for; however, there were many cobwebs inside the house and some of the kitchen drawers were not cleaned. We had basic communication with our host, providing instructions for check-in and check-out. Note: this property does not have WiFi so access to all instructions must be done using your own cellular data.
