Mar 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Nice view I think it would be a good idea to be honest about how terrible the driveway is, before you make people pay! You literally can not drive up it and it’s so steep makes unpacking vehicles pretty difficult. Also, the wood on the inside creaked so loudly most of the night! Rather disturbing. Lovely house and view. But wouldn’t stay here again. ##### Lynn I. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christina B. Feb 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Kamahi Bach An adequate bach - we usually stay in Kuratau but decided to try Omori this year. We usually pay $100 less per night in Kuratau and expected a bit better at this bach based on that... The driveway is very steep and uneven - luckily my husband is a skilled driver and we have 4WD!! Otherwise, leave your vehicle down the bottom! Being a lockwood, it bangs very loudly all hours of the day and night in the top story which led to many a sleepless and interrupted nights for us! Lovely view, easy access to walkways and shop (if you like a bit of cardio as involves hills!) Good fishing off local beaches! ##### Christina B.
