John 
“Lovely little Bach.”
Clean and comfortable. Bed very comfortable. Close to the beach and the surf club. Just about everything you could ask for. A wonderful place to stay. Some suggestions: Improve shower pressure. It was very low. A bbq would be a welcome addition. Nice to cook outside. Some oven mitts for the kitchen too please. Thanks, John. October 2023.

Ann “Perfect location with everything you need!”
Bed is very comfortable…. Heat pump keeps the place nice and warm …. I agree with one of the other reviews about the DVD …. Tv works fine but to watch a DVD the tv makes a terrible noise which makes it impossible…. Could just be a connection??? We were there for an event and the surf so wasn’t an issue for us but if you were relying on it to entertain children ? … I would definitely come back … thank you for sharing your space!
- Ann, May 2023Thank you for your review, Ann, we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Clara's Togs and Towles. You will be happy to know that the owner has switched out the leads to the DVD player which has remedied the noise issue. We hope to host you again soon. Bachcare
Dion “Had a great stay, the place is lovely and tidy and has everything there you would need, I would highly recommend Clara’s togs abs towels.”
Some advice however. the TV needs to be replaced as you can only use their dvds and the unit makes a terrible buzzing noise, not much fun when it’s wet and you can’t get outside, I would also recommend labelling the hot water cylinder switch as this was turned off when we arrived and we couldn’t figure out why there was no hot water, if there was a label on this switch problem would have been solved in the first day. There is no companion book to let you know about the area, local restaurants etc.. or to advice about the house etc.. other than that we would happily book this place again.
- Dion, April 2023Hi Dion, We appreciate you taking the time to provide us insight into what was disappointing with your stay. We are happy to let you know we have resolved these issues, the TV was on the wrong channel, the DVD player is new and we can confirm that there is a companion booklet at the house. The local manager turns on the Hot Water cylinder before each guest's stay. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Bachcare
Cathy “Beautiful spot - thoroughly enjoyed our stay”
- Cathy, March 2023Jane “We had a great stay, thanks.”
Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with crockery, cutlery, cookware etc. and we loved the proximity to the beach. Shower pressure could be better but that's not a deal breaker and appreciate it's not that easy in an older property. Would definitely stay again.
- Jane, February 2023Maria “We had a great time at Clara's T and T.”
Spent 4 days, first two were raining and Last two sunny. It is a classic bach and simple. We loved how comfortable were the beds. I usually rent a place with more features, but being that close from the beach, I couldn't really complain. DVD player wasn't working that could have helped on first two nights. And would recommend a dryer for the towels. But would definitely recommend it.
- Maria, January 2023Tony “Lovely clean comfortable place with comfy chairs and bed and bikes to use.”
Wifi would be helpful.
- Tony, November 2022Therese “Good location, very close the beach and to hiking trails, the sunrise viewpoint is only 10 minutes away !”
There's a nice dairy that sells fish and chips a hop away as well. Kitchen is well stocked, easy to cook and bake meals!
- Therese, June 2022Jeno “Well presented, spotlessly clean and a comfy bed.”
Terrific sun trap and only 50 metres to the beach. Perfect quintessential kiwi bach
- Jeno, April 2022Haley “PERFECT little Bach in a PERFECT location!”
It had everything we needed & plenty of space for our young family of four. We will definitely be booking this one again!
- Haley, January 2022Megan “Clara’s is a nice wee Bach if you’re not looking for anything flash.”
The beds are comfortable and so was the couch. It’s a great location with the beach literally at the end of the street. We had a great stay.
- Megan, October 2021Wendy “Location was excellent.”
Place could do with someone addressing the terrible water pressure in the shower.
- Wendy, September 2021Thank you for your feedback Wendy. The owner apologises for the poor water pressure. They recommend leaving 10 minutes between showers to maximise the flow, especially in cooler months when a hotter shower is preferred. Bachcare
