John “It's the second time we've used this property and it's absolutely fantastic.”
- John, November 2023Natalie “Thank you for letting us stay, we really enjoyed ourselves.”
Such a gorgeous property!
- Natalie, April 2023Susan “1. No lockbox on fence opposite front door, despite this being the instruction for how to access the property.”
Had to phone Bachcare to find out where the key was located. 2. Handyman turned up to clean out gutters – in and of itself, not a major, but when added to everything else….. if this was the only inconvenience, it wouldn’t warrant commenting. 3. Handyman noticed there was a leaking pipe on the roof, so a plumber turned up to assess the water leakage on the roof and advised he would need to return to repair. 4. Second visit from plumber to work on the roof to fix water overflow from pipe. 5. A day or two after this, the hot water cylinder in the upstairs laundry started leaking through the ceiling tiles in the entrance hallway of the property. This necessitated a bucket being placed in the hallway to catch the dripping water (the bucket was about ¼ full in the morning). I emailed Bachcare when I first observed this, but with no response, so phoned the next morning to advise. 6. Plumber returned in the morning to assess the issue and advised that he would need to purchase a new hot water cylinder – this was ordered and delivered that afternoon. 7. Plumber returned the next day to install the hot water cylinder – this took 4 hours. 8. Plumber did not turn the hot water cylinder on, so on Friday night, we were still without hot water in the kitchen. This is after being without hot water in the kitchen since Thursday, when the plumber turned the hot water cylinder off to reduce leakage. A guest visiting for the day rectified the issue – had he not been there, I would not have known what to do. This was our last night at Beach Galore and I was wanting to clean the BBQ and the fridge – it was frustrating as I don’t like leaving the premises dirty. Again, I emailed Bachcare and did not get a response. 9. Plumber removed some linen and underwear from the hot water cupboard and left them out – they were covered in dust from when the plumber cut the shelves in the hot water cupboard to allow room for the new cylinder to be installed. Rather than putting them back dirty, I washed them and returned them clean and folded to the hot water cylinder cupboard. This is just one example of how I like to look after this property when we stay there. 10. In between all this, the microwave blew up – it started smoking and a strong smell of burning plastic could be detected. The knob that operated the oven fell off, meaning that the oven was unusable. These two issues were communicated to Bachcare via email and via the phone call to advise of the leak from the hot water cylinder – Bachcare did not respond to these issues. 11. The air conditioning unit in the living area was not working – as it was so damp and raining during our stay, it would have been great to have this working to remove the moisture from the air. The Bachcare area manager did come and reset it – this did not fix the issue. 12. Might as well throw in these last few issues that are relatively minor – the 4 slice toaster only works on 2 slices; the queen bed in the downstairs bedroom is very uncomfortable All in all, there were many disruptions and many inconveniences to our holiday which took away from our enjoyment. We’ve stayed in this property many times before and have always loved it and treated it with respect. I have emailed Bachcare with this feedback but have not had a response. I would like to discuss this with a real person as I believe there should a refund for what we had to deal with. I don't go on holiday to have to deal with tradespeople.
- Susan, January 2023Thank you for your review of Beach Galore we're very sorry to hear of the issues you encountered during your stay. Our local team addressed the problems as they arose and the owners were proactive in fixing the all of issues including the roof, the hot water cylinder, and replacing the microwave. The local manager came around to fix the issue with the heat pump, we believed the issue to have been resolved and apologies that it reoccurred. Bachcare
John “Great house, absolutely perfect for our group.”
AMAZING location and everything went to plan. Cheers John
- John, November 2022Heather “Fabulous large house on the beach, for family get togethers.”
- Heather, October 2022Yonas Zeray “One of the TV in the bedroom was not working but the rest of things are perfect ...”
One of the TV in the bedroom was not working but the rest of things are perfect and we are enjoying and defiantly we will be back and enjoy the immaculate view
- Yonas Zeray, October 2022Rachael & Mike “Fantastic property for friends/family gatherings.”
Great location. The property definitely needs a clean, really disappointing that we have to pay a cleaning fee to holiday in dirt and clean up decaying mice through out the house, the smell was disgusting.

- Rachael & Mike, June 2022Gaewyn “A magic spot to retreat from the busy world.”
.... right on the ocean beach, you can step out to view the ocean waves only metres away..... so private and well appointed with everything you need, just arrive and you enter another world of relaxation, perfect for family get togethers, friends retreats, and team building stays for colleagues.
- Gaewyn, May 2022simon “Bachcare's communication with guests is very poor and unresponsive.”
Disappointing and potentially unsafe property.
- simon, February 2022Susan “We have stayed at Beach Galore on multiple occasions over the past 5 years and absolutely love the location and the size, ambience and facilities of this property.”
However, it needs a good clean. The furniture has not been moved in ages nor vacuumed underneath, one of our guests found stuff underneath his bed that did not belong to him, some of the mattress protectors on the beds need washing, the bathrooms need a good scrub. I'd happily stay there and clean for free accommodation!! On the plus side, the facilities at this property are fantastic and the location cannot be bettered, we love being able to step off the property onto the beach. We will return.
- Susan, January 2022Heather “A fabulous large house on the beach, which easily accommodates ten people.”
- Heather, October 2021Trudy “Great location.”
Very suitable for families and friends of all ages. Spacious house with a great view. Very useful having an outdoor shower for sandy children. Great book collection and artwork. Great amenities.
- Trudy, January 2021Susan “This property is the best.”
I've perused other properties at Waihi Beach and nothing compares to this. We love the beachfront location - so easy to go for a swim and return to sunbathe at the house. It accommodates us all (3 families) - plenty of space to get your own time out if you need it.
- Susan, January 2021Janet “A perfect place to stay with our family ranging in age from Grandparents down to a 1 year old.”
Great layout of property for families to come together but have separate areas as well. Location to beach couldn't be better. Hope to have the opportunity to rent again next year.
- Janet, December 2020Todd “Awesome property to relax and hang out.”
Right on the beach, amazing views, excellent space in the large house. We highly recommend staying here if you want that laid back feeling for your family and friends.
- Todd, November 2020Lorraine “Location location location”
- Lorraine, October 2020Melissa “AMAZING place to stay!”
! Perfect for more than one family as plenty of space... easy walking distance to shops & takeaways and of course the beach right in the front yard, will be back for sure :)
- Melissa, July 2020Eve “A very satisfactory and well presented holiday house for a large number with space to spare for everyone.”
A perfect location and enthusiastically recommend Beach Galore.
- Eve, March 2020Heather “Large Bach in fabulous location on beach front”
- Heather, February 2020Susan “We love this property.”
If you want beach front and a house that can accommodate a couple of families, this is the one. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
- Susan, January 2020Lorraine “The property is as stated and is amazing”
- Lorraine, May 2019Mary “Beach Galore Waihi Beach is an amazing place to stay.”
Prime location with only a short walk to the beach. Sunrises and sunsets were nature at its very best. A perfect family home. Siobhan couldn't have been more accommodating. A pleasure to deal with.
- Mary, April 2019steven “We had a fantastic holiday with family at this property.”
The location and views made it magic and the short hop and skip to the beach was amazing
- steven, January 2019Karen “Great location, and the property was perfect with lots of space for our family and catered to our Mum who is unwell, but she was able to enjoy her time in comfort with the family.”
- Karen, November 2018Mary “An awesome property with everything you could need.”
Books for the readers, toys and board games for the kids, DVD's and Sky for the evenings, a well equipped kitchen for the cook, WIFI for everyone and a fabulous beach right on your doorstep.
- Mary, October 2018brett “Fantastic place to stay,right on the beach.”
- brett, September 2018Susan “This property is just great - location is fantastic, and the house itself has so much room, perfect for a large group.”
Or, as happened during my last stay, perfect for 5 people who all want their own room!
