Jan 23, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Family holiday in a great location Great property for our dogs and was truely dog and kid friendly. Close to the beach. It had everything we needed and the kids loved the spa. Only -ve was that the rubbish and recycling bins were full when we arrived. ##### Michelle N. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charlotte C. Nov 22, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Overpriced for what you get Dirty and shabby- would be perfect for family with kids but not great for couples. Nice location and section and could be amazing with some improvements. But over priced for what you get compared with other Waikanae beach properties. ##### Charlotte C. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Victoria G. Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Disappointing Inadequate linen supplied but later delivered by property manager - thank you. Photos are deceptive and this cottage would benefit from some TLC. Bathroom hand basin wouldn't drain, two TV remotes not working. Curtains hanging off rails. Don't feel it is worth the charged rate. Positives, great shower, location, and section. ##### Victoria G. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Malcolm S. May 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Waikanae weekend Positives, nice bed, nice shower. Negatives, house not cleaned when we arrived at 3pm. Linen for 4 people provide. 5 staying on Monday. I contacted batchcare and they advised they would sort and call me back to confirm was sorted. Never heard from them again. Managed to borrow some linen from people we were visiting in Waikane. House looks nothing like the pictures. Clearly taken when house was renovated. Now paint peeling, ceiling with significant water damage bowing in over fireplace and lounge centre light. All that would be fine if photos were reflective but they werent. Dishes washed but left in dishwasher and not put away. Lighting poor. Overall disappointing. ##### Malcolm S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lucy C. Jan 27, 2025 ##### Lucy C. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Catherine S., Wellington, New Zealand Oct 30, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Good spot, but not worth the money We paid top $ for a place that had massive holes in the back of the kitchen chairs, a fridge that rattled at odd times, and everything looked scruffy. Wouldn't have minded if we had paid half the amount we were quoted as that is what it is worth. The linen and bathroom were clean. ##### Catherine S.
