Winter stay
We enjoyed the typical NZ bach atmosphere and the half minute walk to the beach which we spent many hours walking along during our stay - the weather was magic. The facilities were of the expected standard - kitchen clean and tidy - bathroom/shower looked to be a fairly new installation - the bed was very comfortable - bach was warm and cosy for a winter stay - and we were able to watch the delayed broadcast of the All Blacks vs England. We were led to understand from the Book-a-bach website that internet was available but this turned out to be not the case - the main living area lighting set a good ambience but was too dim for knitting and jigsaw (not an issue if you're not needing brighter lighting though a freestanding light would solve the issue) - for a summer visit the decking and outdoor table could do with a water blasting - pricewise, for providing our own linen etc and doing a basic clean through on leaving it wasn't significantly cheaper. All in all we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Batch Stay
It seems like the standard of cleanliness was determined by previous occupants. Not all guests will have the same standards or clean to a professional level and shouldn't be expected to.

Great family place
Great location just opposite the beach and down the road from two playgrounds, cafes and 4-square. Easy check-in and communication and appreciated being able to organise for a cleaner to come in after rather than cleaning ourselves. Thanks!

Good place for family getaway
Nice for family getaway. Older place and a bit damp but price reflects that compared to others in the area. Great location for family close to beach and a great Thai restaurant. Would stay again.

Classic kiwi bach
Our second time staying here, this bach has been a perfect home away from when exploring the wider area. Clean and tidy with everything we could need. Right next to the beach, a couple of minutes walk to playgrounds for the kids. We will be back again ☺

Nosey neighbor's
All in all a great little Bach for the price you pay, great location but if you're looking for privacy especially while outside your Bach then this is not the place as the neighbors across the road definitely put a dim on your stay by their constant peeking over their fence and through their windows. Apart from that absolutely great little bach

Great location very quiet. Suited our brief stay nicely
Property was a little run down compared to the photos online. Had a very damp smell but the heat pump and dehumidifier helped. We found a clump of hair in the bed when we went to make it which wasnt very nice. Overall 5 out of 10

Nice place, great location (just 2 minutes away from the beach) and a great Thai restaurant across the road. Well equipped place even for longer holidays with washing machine and dryer. Great for people (like me) who don't mind doing their dishes by hand.
