Kishore 
“It is a beautiful place with a convenient area and the house is a very good place to spend time with the family.”
We had a great time in there and one of the positive features is that they have provided the bike and outdoor gear which is vital for enjoyment. There are, however, insufficient supplies provided to the family, including bath mats, face cloths, and toilet rolls, and in the kitchen, there are insufficient utensils, such as oil brushes for barbecuing, baking paper, foil, and scrubbers to clean dishes and no hand towels.

- Kishore, October 2024Good Morning Kishore Thank you for your feedback; we truly appreciate the time you took to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that aspects of your stay fell short of expectations and want to address your concerns. We can confirm that the BBQ was cleaned thoroughly before your arrival, and we strive to maintain it to a high standard for all guests. Additionally, a pot scrubber is kept under the sink, and bath mats are available in the cupboard for your convenience. The property recently underwent a deep clean, and while we take pride in ensuring the house is in excellent condition for each stay, we apologize for the oversight in not restocking the baking paper and foil before your visit. Please rest assured this has since been addressed and will not be an issue for future stays. Your feedback helps us improve, and we deeply regret that these details detracted from your overall experience. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for a stay that meets all your expectations. Warm Regards Bachcare

Hamish “We had an amazing stay at this holiday home!”
The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, which made it so easy to enjoy the ocean every day. We also loved being surrounded by beautiful trees, which gave the place a peaceful, relaxing vibe. It really felt like a getaway in nature, and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to unwind. We can’t wait to come back!
- Hamish, October 2024Amanda “This is our third stay at the Golden Hideaway.”
The house, size of the section and proximity to the beach works really well for our family. This time is was disappointing that the cleanliness was not up to scratch on arrival. For example, the toilet seats had not been lifted to be cleaned under, and the WeberQ had not been cleaned for some time as the burners were partially clogged. We cleaned these ourselves but it was disappointing given that last summer the cleanliness was excellent. All in all, we had a great holiday, fantastic weather and will be back again.
- Amanda, January 2024Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback Amanda, and we are sorry that on this occasion the cleanliness of the property was not to our usual high standard. We will organise a deep clean to be done at the property to ensure more in-depth cleaning is completed to ensure this does not happen again. Bachcare
Brooke “Awesome house with everything needed for a group trip away.”
Fantastic location and lots of entertainment options around. Tidy home and lots of space. Will definitely be back!
- Brooke, November 2023Frances “The house was lovely.”
Great position comfy beds. But no instruction on tv use. No numbers on the stove all the symbols were When it said bring your own linen we expected there to be tea towels and hand towels in the bathroom and just basic things like shower hell and hand soap for the price of it we were a bit taken aback and we had to go and buy handrowels soap shower soap and teatowels no numbers or symbols on the oven I saw this has been commented on before its an easy fix and avoids a lit of frustration
- Frances, April 2023Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. You will be pleased to know that we are currently addressing these issues with the local property manager and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Shower gel is not an item that is offered, although hand soap should have been provided. It is also handy to note that when you choose to bring your own linen - this does mean all linen, including tea towels. The linen service fee covers the laundering of these items so it would not be feasible to only launder teatowels when a guest chooses not to include the linen package. We are thrilled you enjoyed the comfortable beds! Thanks again. Bachcare
Genevieve “Hi there, beautiful location but house was very poorly maintained.”
Damage to carpet in one bedroom. Holes in the walls of two rooms. Bathroom fan in one bathroom has a big hole and in the other is leaking. Strong mildew smell in twin bedroom beside bathroom and in kitchen cupboards. Lots of dust, black mold in the bathrooms. Down the back of the beds was a used ear plug, chaptick, tissues, pillow case and bottle cap. Linen wasn't sorted so we had to call to get it dropped off and then sort ourselves. Not enough toilet paper or hand soap to last the weekend.
- Genevieve, April 2023Thanks for taking the time to review your stay. You will be pleased to know we are now addressing these issues and we thank you for bringing these to our attention. Bachcare
georgiana “Great bach and perfect location and set up for a family group.”
A few things need a bit of maintance and bird poo outside could have been cleaned but otherwise great comfortable place with loads of extras. Thank you
- georgiana, February 2023Danny “Hi , lovely bach with everything you could want, the only problem we had was we had to change the hob gas bottle over on the last night to the bbq and havent changed it back, you will need to replace the gas hob bottle.”
apart from that we had a great stay and really enjoyed the property and its great loaction. We would stag again.
- Danny, January 2023Amanda “This was our second stay.”
It was nice to see some improvements from our last visit in Dec 2020 - new toilets, Weber bbq, heat pump and WiFi. It’s a great spot for our 2 families to have a summer holiday - lots of space to play games outside, across the road from the beach access and around the corner from the golf club for a coffee or a meal.
- Amanda, December 2022michelle “Just as we had hoped for a lovely weekend away, we were very happy and highly recommend the Bach.”
Wonderful new BBQ too and the appliances, cooking equipment and crockery plentiful and in great condition, its not very often you have a frying pan that you can actually use :-) Just a couple of minor things: No pillow protectors on the pillows, we supplied our own pillows so not an issue. Toilet in bathroom with the bath had a major crack / damage on the inside resulting in a hairline crack on the outside of the toilet. No leakage thank goodness. Toilet cisterns in both bathrooms seem a little slow and noisy with a weak flush, but again not a major issue but could be worth a look by a plumber. Overall, fabulous :-)
- michelle, July 2022Francesca “This property is in a great location.”
However was dirty when we took occupancy. No notification that fridge/freezer did not work and we were met with a mouldy smelly fridge. Other things in the house were mouldy, windows & curtains. One bathroom had not been cleaned properly & other toilet would not flush. Outside area was dirty, bird poo all over patio and furniture and barbique unusable. Very disappointing.
- Francesca, May 2022Sarah “Very disappointed with the cleanliness of this property and the lack of customer service from BachCare.”
- Sarah, March 2022Richard “A wonderful property in a lovely location, it was a stormy winters weekend while we were there but after some long walks on the beach it was nice to come back to the open fire and play some cards.”
We will be back in the summer
- Richard, June 2021Ramona “Such a lovely spot in the Pines Close to the beach and Golf Course and plenty of beautiful walks The house is spacious and equipped with everything you’d need to have a relaxing stay Highly recommend!”
!
- Ramona, January 2021Amanda “We have been coming to Matarangi since we were kids.”
My brother and I stayed here with our families and there was plenty of room for the 7 of us. So close to the beach for the kids and a large section for the little one to ride his bike. The pine trees reminded us of our parents place in the late 1980s when pines were prevalent throughout Matarangi. We had a wonderful holiday and look forward to coming back again.
- Amanda, December 2020Prinal “Wonderful stay.”
Definitely a place to return to.
- Prinal, December 2020Julie “Great property with awesome layout including 4 large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.”
The fireplace is great and there are a few puzzles and games. The kitchen is very well equipped and a shed with tennis rackets and bikes a great addition. The location is awesome with a quick walk to the beach through the access path across the road plus a tennis court with private key virtually next door. A downside is no Wi-Fi plus the cleanliness was greatly lacking on this visit (we have stayed once before without this issue)
- Julie, February 2020Thanks for your review Julie and we're glad to hear you've revisited this piece of paradise. The property doesn't have WiFi, as some guests like to get away from it all, so we try and offer properties to satisfy all desires. However you can always use the 'WiFi' filter whens searching if you need to stay connected on your next trip. We pride ourselves on our properties being sparkling clean, and we're sorry on this occasion it did not meet our usual high standards. Bachcare
Felicity “Private and sheltered, yet so close to the beach.”
Safe for our little people to tear around and plenty of room for the adults to relax. We were there on the hottest days of the year but the design of the house and the trees on the property meant we were still lovely and cool all day.
- Felicity, February 2020Justine “A lovely quiet place to have a family holiday.”
It was wonderful to be just across the road from the beach.
- Justine, July 2019Julie “The Golden Hideaway is the perfect family Bach in Matarangi.”
Very close to the beach and with access to exclusive tennis court. The best equipped Bach I think we've ever stayed in - each time we thought of something we might need in the kitchen, opened a drawer or cupboard and there it was. Bikes, tennis rackets etc etc. Great games and puzzles (with all their pieces), super comfy rooms and 2 high pressure showers plus a bath. Highly recommend.
