Jul 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location We were lucky enough to have great Winter sun during our stay. We remember this area when it was motel units - for anyone expecting a section around the house, be aware the other units are very close. The location is perfect for enjoying Pōhara beach, the house is so warm with the fire and double glazed doors. Great to have linen and towels included too. I’m sure we’ll stay again. ##### Phil J. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### drew g. Mar 5, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### \*BEWARE, COULD NOT STAY HERE DUE TO HEAT\* I am truly not one to complain, but traveling so far and arriving to a house with absolutely no ventilation made it impossible to stay there and we had to leave and book another house. The rooms were dated and sweltering with heat, the units in two of the rooms blew hot air, and the main area was only bearable with all of the windows open which meant being covered sand fly bites. Truly one of the worst experiences arriving in such a beautiful place. Would not recommend. ##### drew g. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michaela J. Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Find somewhere else Not one message we sent was responded to by the property manager. Due to a booking error on our end, we had two reservations back to back for this property. They don’t even know we didn’t stay the last night of 3 nights (canceled that reservation via msg) bc they don’t respond. There were ants IN the bed in one room (and the wall), hair on the sheets - so we closed that room off and didn’t use it, and place was super cold in temp, hard to get heated up. Pictures online are FAR better than real life appearance. We opted to find a different rental for the 3rd night. ##### Michaela J. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LeeAnne S.

Nov 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 5-Star Location! We had an amazing stay in Pohara. The location could not have been better. Right beside the beach, ample amounts of carparking and a beautiful home. On arrival we were blown away by the views of the beautiful Golden Bay from the living room and the house was sparkling clean. We had 3 young children staying with us and the facilities were superb for them. Cannot wait to return soon, thank you! ##### Willis S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jane K. May 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Pohara Bach The property is actually further back than it seems in the photographs from the beach and the grass verge and has two properties very close by on either side. We were little bit surprised when we arrived. however, it is just a two minute walk to the beautiful beach and the views are stunning from the huge windows.Katja was super helpful for checking in. We are a family of five and we felt the property was only just large enough to accommodate us all. We also thought some of the kitchen utensils and crockery could be a little better as we were self catering for the week. There is a lovely log burner at the property is in full sun so we didn’t really need this. We would’ve felt better with curtains on the windows as at night. We felt quite exposed as there are only curtains in the bedrooms. Pohara is really well situated if you are new to Golden Bay. ##### Jane K.
