Pam 
“Lovely property”
- Pam, October 2024 -
Vicki “Great house/views and location.”
Close to beach, Flat White Cafe and town.
- Vicki, March 2024Rebecca “This was an awesome property for us.”
We got ready for my daughter's wedding and had ample space for everyone.
- Rebecca, March 2024Shiree “Was a great location and lovely house, was not very acquip for children as no single beds and we didn't use the barbecue as it wasn't clean and the drip tray was full.”
Otherwise we enjoyed our stay
- Shiree, January 2024Rachel “Great space that accommodated the needs of our large family group.”
- Rachel, September 2023Jenny “Awesome place would highly recommend”
- Jenny, April 2023Hayley “Really enjoyed our stay as a family, home was perfect - great location, views, clean and very spacious - couldn't have asked for more.”
- Hayley, March 2023Rob “Amazing location and an awesome house with lots of space and outdoor areas.”
The place could do with a refresh and some maintenance as it's looking dated and rundown in places. Most folding windows stiff to open, downstairs bathroom ok but very dated and very low water pressure in shower. WiFi password in booklet needs updating as it doesn't work. Kitchen is well equipped and property is clean. Just needs some TLC to restore its fabulousness!
- Rob, March 2023Thank you for your feedback on the maintenance that is required at the property. We are sorry to hear you felt that way about your stay. 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
zane “When we arrived, there was garbage (food waste bucket) in the kitchen.”
It had been there a while and was infested with bugs and smelled really bad. That made the house smell bad. I had to clean out the trash bucket, wash it and air out the house. That was not a good way to start our stay. Please make sure the cleaning staff checked the trash receptacles and takes out the trash.
- zane, February 2023Thank you for your feedback Zane, we are sorry to hear about the cleaning issues during your stay. This is not the standard we expect for our guests and will be following up with the local manager to ensure that future guests are not impacted. Bachcare
Rebecca “This was our second stay at Shaw Road.”
It's a lovely bach with great views and quick access to the beach.
- Rebecca, January 2023Renee “Overall this property, the space and the views were absolutely amazing.”
We stayed here for our wedding accommodation and the views and space was just perfect for us getting ready! We loved everything about this house. The property does need some TLC though with some maintenance being done on some broken items and perhaps a deep clean. Beds are comfy as, shower was great (besides the broken door) and had all the amenities you needed for a holiday. Bachcares communication wasn't very great, and pretty frustrating when trying to get hold of the property manager (being on hold to bachcare for two hours) but once we finally managed to get hold of the property manager Anna, she was so nice and helpful with everything we needed. Thank you Anna. We would love to stay back here again sometime in the future!
- Renee, November 2022Hi Renee, Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with insight. It is good to hear that the property manager was able to assist you with your issue. We are always working on improving our systems at Bachcare and we look forward to hosting you again. Bachcare
Angela “Absolutely fabulous holiday home with all the comforts of home.”
- Angela, October 2022Collette “The property was amazing!”
It suited our family very well - it was clean, comfortable, extremely well equipped and very spacious. Location was wonderful due to the beach, Flat White Cafe and our family (who live in Waihi Beach) all being very close. We look forward to renting the property on our next visit.
- Collette, September 2022patsi “House was amazing.”
. we were down for four days for our sons wedding and while the grooms party stayed across the road, they got dressed at Seashells and the photos will be stunning it was such a lovely day. The house is so well appointed and equipped and the views to die for. Pulling the blinds early, and using the heat-pumps kept it warm and snug.
- patsi, May 2022Sharon “A fabulous house for 8 people.”
Lots of space and entertaining area. The sea view was a bonus and we loved the selection of outdoor areas where we could hide from the sun when the day got hot. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well appointed. Its location to the beach, local shops and restaurant was perfect. Thank you we will be back
- Sharon, April 2022Wayne “Our extended family of 8 had a terrific few days in the property.”
Excellent size and space with multiple outdoor living options available throughout the property. Terrific location with great views of the beach just across the road.
- Wayne, March 2022Jest “Beautiful place!”
Great for big groups and right next to Waihi Beach. Cleanliness of the house could’ve been better and some house items were already broken upon arrival. Apart from that, I recommend this place. Great holiday house. You wake up and fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing. Beautiful
- Jest, January 2022Adam “Our Bach was fantastic - couldn’t have been better!”
Location over the road from the famous Flat White Cafe and the beach made for the most brilliant holiday … the weather came to the party too. Kitchen equipped with everything you could wish for, two TVs (one up, one down), fantastic living areas and stunning outlook.Huge thanks to Anne from Bachcare for her timely and helpful communications and sincere thanks to the owners of #28 for entrusting us with their property.

- Aidan, October 2020Nicole “This is a fabulous spot for a large family or several couples.”
The weather wasn’t the best but with all the different outdoor setting areas we were able to sit out of the wind. Right across the road from the Flat White Cafe which was a nice spot for dinner. Would recommend and would love to return.

It was modern, clean and well provisioned. The location was excellent and my guests were most impressed.

A very comfortable stay with fantastic views and plenty of home comforts to make you want to stay indoors if the weather is no good.
