Chantelle 
“Having stayed here two years ago, I was surprised to see that the loud squeaky exterior doors and loose bathroom door handles were still there.”
Also disappointing not having any music set up, not sure if it was broken or just old and out of date but we couldn't have any music on at all. Great that the TV has been replaced with a smart tv that we can log into Netflix with! Makes those rainy days with the little ones so much easier. The gas cooktop knobs don't close properly so you can smell gas. The bathrooms aren't very clean, especially the tiles, as well as under the tables and couches (dead roaches and other things, a hairbrush). And ...

Great that the TV has been replaced with a smart tv that we can log into Netflix with! Makes those rainy days with the little ones so much easier. The gas cooktop knobs don't close properly so you can smell gas. The bathrooms aren't very clean, especially the tiles, as well as under the tables and couches (dead roaches and other things, a hairbrush). And I was surprised to see that there is no maintenance to the gardens, lots of dead leaves every where, building up in the garden and outdoor seating area. The second bathroom also has hot water issues, it will go hot and very cold constantly, even if the shower is only two minutes. Whereas the ensuite shower has no issues. The lockbox also wouldn't unlock and I think the numbers weren't engaging properly. I feel bad for the owners who pay for the services and it's not being done. Pans could do with some replacing. And with linen, it would be good to have face cloths for the little ones. Comfortable beds though, generally well equipped (except for lack of sugar and salt). And the place is big enough to accommodate two families.
- Chantelle, February 2024Thank you for your review, Chantelle - We appreciate your feedback. Sometimes when the sun is beating down on the doors, they can squeak a bit when opening. As with the bathroom door handle, the property owners have looked into the issue which has now been resolved. As for music/sound system, this is not mentioned on the listing so guests should bring their own source of music if they wish to have this during their stay, however music can be played through the Smart TV as well. With regards to gas stove top, this was replaced last year so still relatively new. I will check with our local services team to see if there are instructions available for guests to refer to. Cooks Beach is renowned for cockroaches, especially over the warmer months so you may see the occasional one from time to time. The property does have a maintenance person who does the lawns and gardens on a regular basis, however depending on the time of year and as we are coming into Autumn there may be more leaves falling than usual. We haven't had any other reported access issues for the lockbox but will keep an eye on this. For the hot water, if someone does run a tap or use the water at the same time it can affect the pressure and hot water if someone is shower. Bachcare

Maxine “We had amazing time at this beautiful property, it was exceptionally hot at night so would’ve been good to have fans available to use.”
- Maxine, January 2024Thank you for your review Maxine, we're glad to hear you had an amazing time at Cooks Getaway. We have taken this onboard and passed this onto the property owners for consideration. Bachcare
Vicki “Amazing place thankyou.”
The layout is great - spacious and inviting. Comfortable beds and the house location away from the main areas was nice but yet still very handy to everything. As a side note to Batchcare It would be good to know that the property is fitted with up to date smoke alarms - I do not think that is included on the list provided? Also a minor thing, however as a suggestion when the cleaners go through if they could check the remotes as the batteries were flat in the heater remote so it did not work, until we figured that out and managed to luckily find a couple of batteries that fitted it. (minor issue). Would definitely recommend this wonderful home and will come back. The other most important thing for us also was that we could take our Fur Child :)
- Vicki, June 2023Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. At Bachcare we take Health & Safety and cleaning seriously and have guidelines in place to maintain our high standard. It's unfortunate that this was not what you experienced and we will follow up with our team to improve this immediately. Thanks again for your feedback. Bachcare
Hayley “Beautiful home and a lovely stay.”
Thanks for having us. Nice and close walk to summit, shops and beach.
- Hayley, March 2023Jane “Amazing house, clean and tidy.”
Great room planning -all bedrooms are located away from the lounge,so kids were not that noisy in the mornings. There are plenty of board games and activities for kids and adults. We truly enjoyed our stay in this house and will be back again for sure! the only downside note for the owner - the cooktop knobs need replacement as most of them are broken inside and do not close the gas supply properly, not safe at all.
- Jane, February 2023Holly “Fantastic holiday home to relax and unwind.”
Being dog friendly made all the difference as my best bud could come along on our holiday. Heaps of space and awesome sized rooms. The outside area is perfect for outside dining and catching some rays. Fantastic sound system and overall a great place to unwind. The kitchen has everything you would need! Close enough to the beach and town, would highly recommend and would definitely come back (didn’t want to leave!) Thanks for a fabulous stay!
- Holly, December 2022Tony “The property is set in a private area about 10 minutes walk to the beach.”
The facilities are good. It is well equipped and has TV and Wifi. We would stay at the property again. The water is tank water and fed to the house by a pump. This broke down one night and we went more than 12 hours without drinking water and flushing toilets. We tried the Bachcare emergency number repeatedly overnight and in the morning which was not answered. It was only ingenuity on our behalf that we reset the pump and finally had water. Instructions on restarting the pump need to be left at the dwelling for guests. Bachcare also needs to smarten up its after hours service.
- Tony, December 2022Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. We are sorry to hear of the issues you faced during the night. Your feedback has been noted and we will address the concerns you have raised. Thanks again Bachcare
Craig “We loved our stay.”
We discovered ants in the cupboard from icing sugar in an insecure container - quickly threw out and washed the container. Improvements to consider either a DVD player and a smart tv, however, this did not detract from our stay. We brought outdoor sport equipment and would have been good to store this in the garage, however, did not have access. Would recommend and look forward to returning.
- Craig, October 2022Ravi “Spacious house.”
Loved the open plan indoors and lots of outdoor space. Very handy cutleries and cookware variety available for use. It's 35min drive away from township, so plan meals accordingly. TV was old, No WIFI available, some pantry items were old and expired, sugar container, had ants. We did see some spiders around the corners inside the rooms and hallway, needs a good dusting!
- Ravi, September 2022Claire “Been three times and will probably come back every year, loved it, great house, great location and my dog can come, perfect.”
- Claire, July 2022Irene “Beautiful location.”
Great for entertaining with friends. Child and dog friendly. Really love all the comforts available like a weber bbq, sound system, amazing kitchen. Will definitely stay here again. Thanks for letting us stay!
- Irene, April 2022neil “Great week staying in Bach every thing we wanted peaceful and relaxing close to everything we wanted”
- neil, March 2022Chantelle “The home is really well looked after, well equipped, has lots of games and activities for the kids and the layout is great for families!”
There was no way to connect your laptop or device (no smart tv) for Netflix but this is minor, there's enough here for entertaining the kids. Kind of nice not having WiFi. We enjoyed ourselves so thank you!
- Chantelle, March 2022Joy “Nicely presented home.”
Private and spacious. All you need in the kitchen for cooking. Good location with a car but a bit of a walk to the beach.
- Joy, February 2022TARCISIO “Amazing property.”
Totally recommended. We'll equipped kitchen. Weber bbq was perfectly clean. House is cozy and modern, great sound system, remote controlled fireplace. Beds are very comfortable. Shower runs well. Nothing to complain, will stay here again.
- TARCISIO, November 2021Anna “Bach was great and property manager was responsive and friendly - always use Bach Care”
- Anna, June 2021Linda “A good option for a family.”
Relatively close to Cooks Beach and Ferry Landing. Quiet cul da sac. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of crockery and cutlery. Easy access, flat section.
- Linda, March 2021Francesca “The property had everything you require and more.”
Good location and quick walk to the beach.
- Francesca, February 2021Marie “Great house, close to the beach and set up perfectly for indoor outdoor living.”
- Marie, February 2021Lesley “Fabulous stay in stunning well resourced place!”
!
- Lesley, December 2020Isabella “Had the best time.”
So many seating options, all the doors open up for a perfect indoor outdoor flow, in a great location and had everything we needed from board games to a well equipt kitchen.
- Isabella, December 2020Julie “We loved our five-night family holiday here.”
The lounge/dining/kitchen area is delightfully designed to maximise social relaxation. The weather wasn’t great (cloudy or drizzly most of the days) so we were really glad we’d chosen a modern ‘home away from home’. Quiet and convenient location. We enjoyed our walks to different local spots and short trips elsewhere.
- Julie, November 2020Sharon “Lovely immaculate house.”
Good location.
- Sharon, October 2020margo “Lovely modern spacious home in a very quite location.”
- margo, February 2020Aileen “The property is lovely and modern and very comfortable.”
The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need. The games cupboard has a great selection of board games & fun activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and really appreciated being able to bring our small dog. Quiet location, within an easy walk to the beach and local shops. Highly recommend!
- Aileen, February 2020Paul “Check that the property has plenty of gas before arrival if you want to use the fire”
- Paul, September 2019Thanks for your feedback. Our apologies that there was an issue with the gas supply for your stay. Bachcare
Lee-Ann “Lovely nice open plan house when the weather was warm all the doors open up to create a perfect indoor outdoor flow with an awesome outdoor area with a bbq and great table and seating.”
When it cooled down the fire place created a nice comfortable warm environment inside. Great showers and awesome kitchen with lots to do inside even when the weather wasn't great.
- Lee-Ann, September 2019Helen “Very clean, all new condition.”
The house had everything we need to just enjoy and relax! Kelly, manager was really nice and very helpful as well. We would definitely come back next time.
- Helen, July 2019Debra “Recharge the Soul We often forget the beauty that our own country has to offer, simply because we never actually think to explore it.”
Only 2 & half hours away from Tauranga you could be soaking up the views of the tranquil scenery from this property. It is a perfect place to unwind from the frenetic pace of the urban lifestyle. A breath taking ambiance that reflects the modern living of spacious indoor/outdoor flow. Featuring an impressive exposure of bi-fold doors designed for space and access to the outdoors without compromising your privacy. Perfect if you want to open up the whole living area. From the deck you can watch the sunrise in the morning, and enjoy the chorus of birds singing in bush surroundings. Kelly the property manager is very welcoming and provides great local knowledge & recommendations. This holiday home is designed for entertainment which suits those who require a living environment that offers a high degree of functionality. Excellent location for families or groups to enjoy the plethora of coastline activities. Its only minutes away to the ferry landing, catch the ferry to Whitanga & walk 10 minutes to Lost Springs.

- Debra, June 2019Heather “Awesome house with lots of spaces for larger groups.”
Excellent location and proximity to activities but still private.
- Heather, April 2019Katja “We had a great holiday at this property.”
It's modern, spacious and luxurious. The location is a little bit further away from the shops and the sea but it is a nice leisurely walk of about 7 min. It's secluded with trees and bushes around an immaculate lawn so you won't see the neighbouring houses. The property has everything you need: BBQ, Soundsystem, TV, Washing Machine etc. We've booked cleaning and bed linen/towels to make our time more relaxing. I shouldn't really recommend this property because it won't be easily available anymore when we want to come back in future. I think it is one of the nicest properties in Cook's Beach.
- Katja, March 2019Hi Katja, thank you for such lovely and comprehensive feedback! We expect the property to be available in the future - we have a live calendar so please feel free to check out the dates you're looking for! Bachcare
Emma “A great experience had all round, the Bach was very tidy, lots of room great for the whole family and very well set out.”
We really enjoyed our stay visiting the local attractions and beaches. We will definitely be back.
- Emma, February 2019Mark “Perfect holiday home to suit a family or group of adults with enough space and privacy to accommodate everyone.”
Tucked away from the hussle and bussle but close enough to enjoy all that Cooks Beach has to offer.
- Mark, January 2019Ryan “It was great to have a beachside view and a fully fenced property for our dog.”
- Ryan, December 2018Robyn “Great place to stay, everything we needed and a bonus having the 2 outdoor areas to choose from”
- Robyn, November 2018Debra “Beautiful, spacious and warm home.”
Had everything we needed including board games, sky TV and dvds. The tumble dryer was a welcome appliance in the rain. We’ll definitely be back!
