Jul 18, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Kuratau There was only 3 toilet rolls for 5 people for 3 days. There wasn't any coffee. I thought at 1000 for 3 days there could have been washing powders and basic food left in the cupboards like herbs or flour. Even milk just like motels. I've stayed in a few different batches around nz and this one was one of the more expensive ones. The house was very cold for our baby as the heating was very out dated. We paid for a cleaning fee but yet were told we had to make sure the bach was left the way we found it. We had a great weekend away. But wouldn't stay in this bach again. There are similar priced baches in better condition and more quality for money. Thank u ##### Isaac N. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tushka S.
