Pauline 
“The house was fantastic and just what we wanted.”
The only downside was the fact that all consumables such as Hand Soap, dishwasher powder and detergent, toilet rolls, spray and wipe and laundry powder were empty or had minimal amounts. It just felt a bit mean. Not sure if this was due to property management rather than the owners.

Peter “The property is in a great location overlooking the golf fairway, with easy access to the beach a few minutes walk away.”
It was clean and tidy when we arrived, however some t.l.c. is definitely required. We checked in with Bachcare before we left for the property and was told that everything was as per the listing and there were no notes on file. When we arrived, we had to hunt around for the key as the lockbox was broken and the key wasn't there. We had brought food specifically to bbq, but the bbq had apparently previously caught fire and was unusable. It looked as though the fire happened some time back so this should have been replaced by now or taken off the listing. This should also have been on the Bachcare notes prior to us going to the property so we could have been otherwise prepared. The main bathroom shower is completely unusable as the pressure is very bad, the fitting is falling off the wall, and the bathroom would flood if you used it. Basically this means that the only working shower is in the en-suite which is not great for a family. We had chosen and paid for this property based upon two usable bathrooms. The outdoor area needs a good clean and the outdoor furniture is moldy and in disrepair. We didn't go near the outdoor fireplace. The TV is very small for the size of the property, and only plays DVD's. Overall it felt as though the owners do not go to the property themselves as it wouldn't be in that state if you stayed at your own property. Unfortunately we wouldn't recommend in it's current condition, though it definitely has potential with some time and money being invested into it. There are lots of other properties in Matarangi available for a break away, and we'll be looking at those next time.
- Peter, April 2023Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. You will be pleased to know we are currently addressing the issues you have raised and we thank you for bringing these to our attention, for the comfort of future guests. Thanks again Bachcare
Stanley “House was as represented, but the shower was not working properly.”
The fitting was coming away from the wall at the top and pressure was very poor. There was no problem with the ensuite shower, so it is likely that the main bathroom shower requires attention. Overall a good holiday experience.
- Stanley, March 2023Thank you for your feedback on the maintenance that is required at the property Stanley. We are discussing this with the property owners and working hard on improvements to ensure this home continues to offer an amazing experience to our guests. Bachcare
Kira “Beautifully designed and appointed home in Matarangi.”
Clean and with all the conveniences, including a truly luxurious bathtub, washer/dryer, and dishwasher. The house is well laid out, with the master (with ensuite) at one end, the two other bedrooms at the other, and the second bath, WC, and laundry in between them and the large kitchen/dining/lounge. Outdoors, there is a large deck, with quite a private little courtyard with umbrella table, as well as another area around an outdoor fireplace. It was very comfortable for our family and extremely spacious. Parking is easy and convenient adjacent to the house, up the shared drive. You have a nice view over the golf course, and everything in Matarangi is of course reasonably close and accessible. The cafe at The Dunes is easy walking distance. Our family was very comfortable here and would be very happy to return. A few minor frustrations: the house is not well signposted from the street. We figured it out from the adjacent numbers and walked up the shared drive until we saw the "Bachcare" sign and (finally) the house number. The driveway joins the street with a dip that can be detrimental to cars with low fronts, and plantings on either side make it hard to enter or exit the drive at a 45 degree angle to mitigate this. These are very minor complaints, however. A note in the kitchen did warn about the risk of ants on the countertop, and we definitely found this to be true, but the house was very clean, and from our previous visits to Matarangi, we know ants are a chronic issue in the area, not something specific to this one home. As noted in the home's description, there is no Wifi, but there is free to air TV. We did wish that we could have arranged to check in earlier than 3pm, and offered to pay an extra fee, but this was firmly squashed by Bachcare. In summary, we really enjoyed our stay at this property and would be keen to return on our next visit to Matarangi.
- Kira, December 2022Thanks for taking the time to review your stay in detail. We are so pleased you enjoyed the comfort and the property itself. We would love to see you stay again! Bachcare
Martin “Amazing property, wide open living area with great view.”
Easy walk to the beach. Be a little careful of the golf course with little kids as the house sits at the distance for first drives and we had a few balls land on the property. We had a great time here!
