Peaceful
Basic but all you need. Dbl bed isn’t great but pillows were nice:). Pity the yard surroundings were ugly ie looking at an ugly fence , not really a place you feel like hanging out at more just a place to sleep. Nice and handy to beach and park. Enjoyed the peaceful time of year in winter .

Comfortable beach getaway
The time at the Bach was a working holiday, and a writing retreat for my daughter and me. It served that purpose and provided us with what we needed. We assumed there would be wifi access, but it was not a big problem because we could hotspot from our phones when required. The beds and pillows were comfortable, the apartment felt cool during the summer, so a place I would look to book again in the future.

Beach Villa
The villa is really well located - close to the beach and to shops. Everything you need is there. There are books and puzzles to do, so a great bolt hole for a break away from usual routines. The only issue we had was with very low water pressure which affects hot water, in the kitchen, bathroom (including the shower) and toilet.

Amazing!!
Thank you so much for an amazing stay! You were so helpful and accommodating during a very stressful time for our family. I appreciated your help, and the ease of check-in and check-out. Another incredible aspect was high quality and beautifully fresh linen on the beds when we arrived!! (I presumed we had to bring our own so this was a treat for sure). Great location for easy access to the school camp. Very reasonably priced, beautifully clean and an absolute breeze to deal with. Thank you so much. Recommend to all.

Great place for a quiet few days away. Biggest problem is the locals who know every bump and blind ridge on the road in/out, trying to shave 30 seconds of their best time from home to Masterton Macdonalds in their inevitabal Nissan Navaros

the best
the unit was perfect the furniture, bed, kitchen utensils. in fact everything was great. one hiccup was that we got the wrong unit which was not fenced for the dog, but this was not a problem. the site needs to be updated.as we took all the bedding and towels as indicated, when Michelle has them. i would absolutely recommend the place to anyone who wants a relaxing time. best we have ever stayed in.

Great potential
This is a great property that needs some attention to get to be the five star property it deserves to be. Investing time and giving attention to detail would make this the ideal place to stay. Riversdale is a lovely place to stay - we enjoyed our time there.

Sack the cleaner
I'd guess the only thing the cleaner did before our visit was empty the rubbish bin and change the sheets. Fairly certain the carpet hadn't been vacuumed recently, the sofa cushions hadn't even been plumped. The oven and freezer were disgusting, and the laundry tub had a heap of sand in it. The bed was only a double so pretty cramped, especially in warm weather. The shower was ineffectual. The best before date on the coffee was definitely pre pandemic.
