May 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Traditional kiwi bach Apart from a couple of power cuts, resolved spontaneously. Recommend torches. And the access code for lockbox was incorrect on welcome instructions. Bachcare contacted and were able to give us the correct code. Otherwise, just what we wanted for few days away. No internet, no TV, just beachfront and fabulous sunsets ! ##### Chris H. Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Steve A. Jan 30, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Seaside The location was stunning. The bach made very loud noises when the wood expanded and contracted which made sleeping difficult. We were provided with 1 towel and 1 flannel for 2 people for 5 nights!!! We were assured this would be rectified but we never saw anymore towels and follow up contact was ignored. There were no bathmats or handtowels either. ##### Steve A.

Feb 19, 2021 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Proper bach feel The property had a cosy feel and was situated ideally. Unfortunately it was not ready at the arranged time - had not even been cleaned from the previous people and the numbers I had confirmed had not been relayed to the property manager. Fortunately she had extra linen on board and my sister helped her get the place ready. I arrived later on. There was no soap for the shower and no dishwashing liquid. The dining room table was unusable and the outside door handles onto the deck kept falling off. Small ant infestation in the kitchen is just a beach thing, we could live with that. We left the place nice feeling it could have been better, its such a nice house, just needs some tlc. ##### Kim W. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy O.

This place however is run down. Messy garden, door handles falling off (yes, both main doors). Chimney looks dangerous. The place was musty, very dusty and kitchen stuff sticky. Outdoor light not working. The bed was surprisingly good next to everything else. Sorry to give a negative review. But for the price we paid it was disappointing. ##### Brigitte Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shayna R.
