“This Bach is extremely over priced.”

It was dirty when we arrived. No dishwasher, no washing machine, no cold water in the bathroom basin. This was all ok but when my two sons took the kayaks out for about 2km with all their diving gear on and both kayaks had leaks and had to try get to the nearest rocks pulling them whilst trying to swim in the strong current’s, they almost drowned. They lost some diving gear but just happy that they are alive. They are two strong young men, if it was a women out there it could have ended ...

They lost some diving gear but just happy that they are alive. They are two strong young men, if it was a women out there it could have ended tragically. This place needs to be bashed down and rebuilt. It’s obviously just someone’s money machine. Extremely disappointing!

- Bernice, December 2022

Thank you for your review Bernice. We are pleased that your sons are safe. The kayaks are not ocean-going kayaks and New Zealand waters can be difficult to manage even for the most experienced. All equipment provided at the property is at the user’s risk. The listed amenities at the property do not include a dishwasher or a washing machine, however, you may be pleased to know that a washing machine has recently been added. We hope to host you again in the future. Bachcare

“Location excellent for a Summer stay - unfortunately access in wet Spring conditions somewhat hazardous down steep grassy slope - car had to be parked on road busy with contractors vehicles on adjacent properties.”

Facilities very traditional and basic - external bathroom an inconvenience. Cosy is about the nicest description - but has probably been a great family holiday bach over the years! Ready for a re-build!

“If you are looking for a rough and ready bach then you have found the right place.”

I wouldn't call this your typical home. The hosts were great and communicated well with us. We just think it is way over priced for what we got.

- Zoe, April 2021

Thank you for your review Zoe. Hidden Cove Gem does have a classic kiwi bach feel. We are sorry to hear you felt it was overpriced, we do try our best to fairly price our properties taking into consideration their amenities, location and the other properties in the area. Bachcare

“This is a horrendously overpriced bach.”

If you are looking for a quintessential bach experience it’s here, but don’t go in peak season when the owners hike their rates. It looks like it has direct access to the beach but is hemmed in a not private. Houses on all sides and directly in front. Very disappointed. Worst of all accomodation we had over 4 weeks break.

- Shirley-Anne, January 2021

Thank you for your feedback Shirley-Anne and we are sorry to hear you found the property over-priced. While this is a classic Kiwi Bach, we do try our best to fairly price our properties taking into consideration their amenities, location and the other properties in the area. In the listing photos we also show the surroundings of the property so that you can see the houses near it. We do hope you enjoyed your time in Langs Beach! Bachcare

“Quintessential kiwi Bach with beaut new bbq, lovely deck and with the best outdoor sofa.”

- u can listen to the waves after a swim and enjoy the view. Good power shower and spotlessly clean.

“We absolutely loved this wee gem of a Bach.”

A perfect couples retreat! A lovely outside area and so close the the beach. We will be back!

“Great little bach with easy access to the beach.”

Will definitely book again for an escape to Langs Beach.

“With one of the bedrooms having no door at all and the toilet not having a lock as well, "privacy" means nothing at this place.”

We were two couples and had to decide who's sleeping with their partner in the room without a door facing the lounge area. We also left a bag in front of the bathroom to indicate someone is inside. Therefore, you need to leave your "dignity" behind when you get here! Other than that, old rusty barbeque with the lights for that area not working (we barbequed at night with our cellphone's flashlight), shower drainage was blocked so we could only take 2-5mins showers. You can just imagine what kind oof traumatising experience we had with all these. Location was good with a decent view but well overpriced for a property of its age most especially with the issues above.

- Sean, October 2020

Thanks for your feedback Sean and bringing these issues to our attention. We have now updated listing to make it clearer that one of the bedrooms does not have a door and there is now a lock on the bathroom/toilet door. The shower drainage and lighting issues have also been addressed. Bachcare

The property

Sitting just opposite the beachfront, this is sunshine living at its best. Welcome to the Hidden Cove Gem! Cosy and relaxing, this beach house is an ideal spot for a couple or small family getaway. With polished wooden floors that perfectly compliment the white interior and filled with a variety of decor that gives the home character and charm, summer never felt so good. Admire the sea views right from your bedroom window, spark up the bbq and enjoy kiwi styled breakfast out by the outdoor dining area, lounge around to a great indoor/outdoor flow and enjoy a nice glass of wine as you feel yourself at ease and right into the summer spirit. Just seconds from the beach, take the kayak down and head off for a morning paddle as the sun comes up, or enjoy a good book as you layout under the sun. If you feel like trying out a few eateries, Waipu Pizza barn is just a 13-minute drive up the road. For your next summer Northland adventure, find the Hidden Cove Gem!

Please note that the driveway at this property is being upgraded in 2020. However, in the meantime, it is a grass driveway and therefore suitable for dry weather only. In wet weather, it is recommended guests are parked on the kerb as the driveway becomes walking access only.

Please note that the spare room opens out to the lounge and does not have a door.

Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

About the location
