Matthew “This is a great batch with a nice big deck with great views.”
Would definitely go back. Cheers Matt
- Matthew, January 2024Maree Louise “Our group had an enjoyable stay at this property.”
The view is amazing. It was nice and clean. The owner was quick to sort out the TV issue. Some of the beds weren't as comfortable as they looked. We would be happy to return but some of the group would like a bed update. Thanks.
- Maree Louise, July 2023Thanks for your feedback - you are correct in saying the view is amazing! You will be pleased to know the property has had two new high quality beds added recently and a new dish TV unit installed - so we look forward to seeing you again soon! Bachcare
Phillip “The property is dirty and has clearly not been properly cleaned for some time.”
There are insects and rubbish on the floor and under the beds and sofas. The range hood is covered in grease and grime. There are cobwebs in the corners of the walls complete with spiders, both dead and alive. The lounge furniture is greasy, dirty and smells. Underneath the cushions is full of rubbish, hairs and dead insects. The TV signal is supplied through a Dish TV satellite box, which has no remote. As a result there is only one channel available, and even this was only possible as one of the guests had some knowledge of setting up TV’s. The whole house, especially the downstairs bedroom and the sleep-out smells of damp. The beds are in a poor state of repair with rips and tears in the bases. The welcome pack was eventually found on top of the fridge, lying in a layer of grime and dust. It was not well presented and contained practically no information about the house or area. It appeared that it had been left there by the previous occupants and was simply a pile of papers. The inside of the kitchen pantry was dirty, which contained the glassware and cups. The curtains have got mould on them.
- Phillip, February 2023At Bachcare we take 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. The property has since received a thorough Deep Clean, mould removed and a new Heat Pump has been installed to help with the dampness. Two brand new beds have been added and a new TV dish to help with the signal. We are confident these issues are now resolved and apologise for any inconvenience caused. Thanks for your feedback.

Sandy “Like the other guests we did not find the bach clean, specifically the shower drains haven’t been cleaned or unclogged for a long time.”
I contacted bachcare who passed this back to the owner / manager… and nothing was done. It was revolting, truely revolting and no action was taken. We were told that if the manager could do something then they would… but they didn’t.
- Sandy, January 2023It is frustrating to hear of these issues arise again. We have contacted the Property Manager and explained the standards and expectations moving forward and only hope this reflects for future guests. Thanks for taking the time to review your stay nonetheless. Bachcare
Anisha “The house is on great location with great views from the deck.”
However it needs some tlc. The house is dirty, rooms smell musty especially the sleep out. We had to take our own linen as it was too costly for them to provide it. Some of our linen smelt musty after using them at the house. The sleepout needs fly screens, a new bunk bed as it’s falling apart, and new mattresses. The single beds in the main house need new mattresses too, they were way too uncomfortable to sleep on.
- Anisha, January 2023We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the fantastic location and views. We have passed your feedback onto the Property Manager for review. Thanks for taking the time to submit your comments! Bachcare
Theresa “This property has a large deck with a great view, but the cleanliness is terrible.”
All of the curtains are mouldy, which means the whole house smells musty. The corners and under all the furniture have dead insects and dust. The shower clogs up and the shower head falls off the wall if you bump it. There were 4+ lightbulbs not working. There was an ant problem, but the fly spray was empty. There was not enough dishwashing liquid or toilet paper for 10 nights. We paid a lot of money and it was not at the quality expected. We left and came home early. What makes this more frustrating is that two days before our arrival I contacted Bachcare to ensure the house was clean and the BBQ in working order... I was assured it was. We arrived to find the BBQ had fungus growing on it as well as rat poo!! I emailed Bachcare about the BBQ and they did not reply. We could not use the BBQ. Very disappointed with our experience. Think we deserve a partial refund!
- Theresa, January 2023At Bachcare we take 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. You will be pleased to know that a new Webber BBQ has been installed at the property, as well as the property undergoing a thorough Deep Clean and mould removal. Thanks for your review. Bachcare
Toby “We had a nine night stay over the Christmas 2022 period.”
A diverse group of eight with myself, my wife, two youngest children, two elder children and both my parents. On a positive note we loved the layout and position of the house. Absolutely love the fabulous view and deck which we made full use of with the fabulous weather. Lovely position with Hahei. A short walk to shops and path to Cathedral Cove. On a negative note we were given 24 hours notice that no towels would be available at the property so had to purchase these which was quite expensive for a group of eight. Upon arrival we found there was a leak at the downstairs toilet which we notified the property manager of. It took a few days to get this rectified which meant that my elderly father was waking several times during the night to empty the bowl so the leak did not cause damage to the property. It would have been nice to have had this recognised. We found the general cleanliness was not great and the property could do with new mattresses in the single bedrooms. On balance, I would certainly stay here again though would like to hear that the cleanliness and mattress issues are rectified.
- Toby, December 2022Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. We have passed on your comments to the Property Manager for review and we hope to address the issues you have raised ASAP. Thanks again Bachcare
Leann “We did enjoy our stay, and the property had everything as listed.”
A couple of notes. We were very surprised that there were no sheets or towels or even bath mats included in the price of nearly $1000 US for 2 nights. We had to bring all our own, which really isn't convenient when on vacation. Also, it wasn't very clean when we arrived. There were some dead bugs around and crumbs, and an overall very musty smell. On a good note, the location was fantastic, and the home was large with plenty of beds. I would suggest maybe a good, thorough cleaning of drapes, carpets, etc. just to make it smell and look a bit fresher.
- Leann, November 2022Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. Linen is noted as an optional extra, so that the nightly rate can be kept at a reasonable rate. We have noted your concerns regarding the cleaning standard and we have passed this information on. Thanks Bachcare
Stephen “We really enjoyed spending a weekend a way in this lovely property and what amazing view.”
The only thing I would say needs an update is the Bbq.
- Stephen, November 2022We are thrilled to advise the property now has a brand new BBQ available for use! We welcome you to stay At Cathedral Cove again soon! Bachcare
Melanie “We were a larger group and absolutely loved our stay.”
Great location, lovely facilities for large groups, kids loved playing in the garden and pets were very comfortable. We plan in booking again for a repeat. Thank you.
- Melanie, October 2022Andre “Great place to stay, very spacious with a amazing view.”
We had a great weekend with many activities to do. The only negative was that there was not enough hot water for 12 people, especially during the winter. The sleep out was nice and cosy with the heat pump but have got no toilet facilities, but other than that we had a great stay and weekend.
- Andre, July 2022Alan “Very disappointing, very dirty and beds certainly need updating, furniture in lounge/dining very stained, not a pleasant experience.”
- Alan, May 2022Lei “Location is Great.”
Good view and good for big family's. The sleep out room is not suitable to people to live. there are strong musty smell in room. All Duvet are damp. The room is no ventilation system and insulation. The sleep out room is not meet the health home standard. It is not suitable to rent without fix everything.
- Lei, April 2022Charlotte “Nice, spacious place with a great view and everything you need.”
Some things were a little dated, but this didn't impact the enjoyment of our stay.
- Charlotte, March 2022Leidy “Kitchen needs more in depth cleaning/maintenance-plates/pots, dishwasher, rangehood.”
Some improvements/maintenance needed in the bathroom showerhead(2nd floor). Old house feels with old beds/lounge, furnitures but still comfortable. Other than that, The house had a great view for sunrise and stargazing. We enjoyed our stay!
- Leidy, February 2022Hannah “Great place to stay with amazing views overlooking the beach!”
- Hannah, February 2022Victoria “If you're to planning to go to Cathedral Cove this is a good location to stay.”
The house near Hahei beach and the general store! Good place if you have pets.
- Victoria, January 2022Rosina “Beautiful property and the views are amazing.”
Walking distance to the cathedral cove car park and shops. Beds are so comfy and the showers pressure is awesome. Our holiday manager Katerina was very accommodating, had the house heated upon arrival and assured to answer any questions or help in anyway possible. Heaps of space for our big family and can’t wait to come back. Thanks Bachcare
- Rosina, June 2021Danielle “Property was good for large group but was definitely not in the most clean condition.”
There were dirty pots in the kitchen cupboard as well as a mouse that ran out of the bbq.
- Danielle, April 2021Thank you for your feedback Danielle, its great to hear At Cathedral Cove worked well for your group. At Bachcare we pride ourselves on our properties being sparkling clean and we're sorry that your experience did not meet our usual high standards on this occasion. Bachcare
Natalie “We stayed at this property 13 years ago and had a great time.”
We had another fantastic stay and would highly recommend for large families or a group of friends.
- Natalie, February 2021Sue “We enjoyed our stay at this property, but not very clean when we arrived and lacking quite a few little touches.”
Especially for the cost.
- Sue, December 2020Thank you for your review Sue! We are sorry you felt the property needed some extra touches that could've made it better and we've taken on your comments to implement improvements as suggested both during and after your stay. The aspects that you mentioned needed extra cleaning have now been addressed. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again. Bachcare
Matasiva “Absolutely loved the location and the property overall.”
We got to visit the sights near by and had unlimited access to the hahei beach which was so beautiful and very clean. We had full access to the house and freedom to call it home for the few days we were there. We left feeling as though 3days was too short because it wasj ust beautiful over there. Thank you so much Bachcare for the excellent service and to the property manager Ray for being approachable and for helping us feel comfortable during our stay.
- Matasiva, December 2020Gay “A tidy, comfortable large house in Hahei, close to the Cathedral Cove track.”
Great views of the ocean from the large deck. Comfortable lounge furniture and beds but disappointed with the thin pillows. Kitchen well stocked with crockery etc. Easy walk down to the shops but it is a steep walk back for anyone with mobility issues. House also has stairs which may be a problem for some. Would recommend this property
- Gay, March 2020Thanks for your review Gay and we're glad you enjoyed the views! We've passed on your valuable feedback to the property owners and hope to see you back in the future. Bachcare
Jo “Great spacious property with amazing views in a great location.”
- Jo, January 2020Kimberly “Great property for a large group.”
The deck and living areas are great and the view is amazing. We had adults and children sleeping in the sleep out and it was fine. Can walk everywhere beach/shops/cathedral Cove so great location. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to return in the future.
- Kimberly, December 2019Robyn “Great location, loved the deck and view.”
House only sleeps 7 rest of beds are down the garden in a sleep out with no toilet.
- Robyn, December 2019Thanks for your review Robyn. We totally agree, this house has a great deck and amazing view. Our apologies if it was not clear on the listing that all the guests could not be accomodated in the main house. We hope to welcome you back in the future! Bachcare
