“I loved being there so close to the beach.”
And t the architecture , kitchen bench and cabinetry, particularly the colour contrasts was very pleasing. The spaces, the, flow through indoor and out, most pleasing. The outdoor rooms were pleasant for reading and breakfasting. It would have helped me to know how to operate garage door to open. I was on my own and I could have unpacked and wheeled in my gear that way instead of via The sleepers along the path way in and out to front door which are very uneven and rather difficult to wheel over ...

I would love to come back. Thankyou.

William “A wonderfully quirky kiwi beach bach!”
Plenty of room, all the facilities, and a stone’s throw from the water.
- William, February 2024Sarah “Located in a lovely location close to the city, in general we enjoyed our stay, with easy access to the beach, playground and surrounding sites.”
However, we found there was a general lack of information on key things like whether the water was drinkable or not. There was no signage and other than the one large bottle of water (which was insufficient for the stay) we were not made aware of any drinking water concerns. There was no hot water in the kitchen or laundry sinks so we were restricted to using the dishwasher only. The cleanliness of the house was also questionable with the kitchen floor found to be dirty and many of the kitchen drawers needing a wipe. Most of the curtains were also either falling down or unusable. A general tidy up outside needed. Otherwise a lovely big open space to relax in.
- Sarah, October 2023Thank you for your feedback Sarah, we are sorry to hear about the 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 everything has been remedied and that future guests are not impacted Bachcare
Kieran “Had a great stay.”
Very homely and comfortable. Plenty of room for the whole family to be in different spaces. All facilities and utensils made things easy. Loved the table tennis in the garage, pity we didn't get to use the kayak. Kids had heaps of fun finding all the skinks around the property. Thanks for sharing your home
- Kieran, May 2023Charlotte “This house has the potential to be great however Bachcare seems to have let it down.”
The garden was overgrown, with broken bits of furniture and pots sitting on the back deck. There was what looked like a large cow pat/mud pat on the front balcony. There was no reference in the listing that you couldn't drink the tap water so we didn't come prepared with bottled water. The house appeared like it hadn't had a clean or a visit in a long time, with mouse poo in the kitchen and rats/mice in the ceiling at night. Confused as to why the house was listed for 3 times the price on airbnb, I would have been gutted to have paid that. The location of the house is however incredible with a flat kid-friendly beach and playground. I can imagine it was once a wonderful home but seems not to be cared for anymore which is a shame
- Charlotte, May 2023Thank you for your review. At Bachcare we take cleaning very seriously and have strict guidelines in place to maintain our high standards. We are sorry that in this case this was not what you experienced. We will follow up on this with our local team along with any other maintenance that may be required. We would always encourage you to book directly through the Bachcare website for the best price. Bachcare
Helen “Firstly I must apologise to the next guests, saw the recent review and the reference to a 'mud pat' and realised that was probably one of our kids' "art works" using the clay from the beach!”
So sorry we neglected to return that to nature! As to the house, agree that it has great potential and indeed we had a wonderful stay, but it could do with some tlc. Make sure all the light fittings work (kitchen/ dining/ living space felt a little dark), and yes I also had to sweep lower pantry shelves of mouse droppings. Some basic areas Bachcare let the owners down e.g. making sure the gas bottles are full (to their credit, bachcare rectified that first thing the next morning, it was lucky the bbq still had some gas to keep us going to finish that evening's dinner). Supplied 3 rolls of toilet paper per toilet which meant we had to buy more considering how many people we had on the booking. In contrast to plentiful supplies of cleaning/dishwash/dishwasher supplies it felt like an oversight/unnecessarily skimpy compared with the cost and the lovely linen and towels supplied (at extra cost). I think it would be a good idea to make the sign about tap water not being drinkable more obvious near the tap itself. We didn't even notice the faded sign on the fridge until the next morning, and think it would be good to have that info up front in the listing. The fridge wasn't working at all well which at suspected on our first night and confirmed in the morning with lukewarm food. Owners replaced it that day though, really appreciate them making the effort. Despite the quirks and issues, though, we had a great holiday. The ample supply of life jackets and wetsuits meant the kids could enjoy the kayak despite the cooler weather. The kids' toys were great, mobilo occupied ages 4-11! Plus the table tennis table was well used. The position of the house is wonderful, just so easy to stroll over to the beach and enjoy it. The beds were comfortable, the place was spacious and it is a solid base for a family holiday.
- Helen, April 2023Thank 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 issues. We have addressed the toilet paper supply situation. We look forward to hosting you again. Bachcare
Elaine “It was a lovely house to stay in.”
We enjoyed the large open living area in particular and would have enjoyed the outside spaces if it hadn’t been raining! Great proximity to the beach and playground. Our grandchildren really enjoyed playing with the toys. We were a bit unsure what to do with the rubbish as we weren’t sure which bin was for general rubbish and which was for recyclable.
- Elaine, December 2022Mangaldeep “Hi there, We had a getto here with my friends after 6 yrs.”
Location was really great, everything was there to be comfortable. just little bit of tidying up with clean air were required, when we reached the Bach. Apart from that excellent place for big family or friends reunion. Will plan to visit again...cheers :)
- Mangaldeep, November 2022Ryan “Beautiful place absolutely perfect for families and lovely neighbours as well.”
- Ryan, July 2022aran “Been to a couple of holiday houses and this is one of the best house I've ever stayed.”
All rooms had drawers/shelves/racks to put your stuff, kitchen fully equipped and a spacious living area. Would definitely go back if I visit the area again and would be perfect for families with kids. Very happy with the stay.
- aran, June 2022Tamara “Thank you for your great property, we had such a lovely holiday.”
It has good facilities and space and was a perfect set up for our family with two toddlers, plus grandparents. We appreciated the extras such as the children's toys and books. The location was ideal. However little to no basic supplies such as tea, coffee, cooking oil, or cleaning cloths.
- Tamara, February 2022Nicole “The property was a very good size for our family of ten, and the location across the road from the beach, a grassed play area and childrens' playground was ideal.”
The downside of our stay was the condition that the property was in on our arrival and the lack of response from Bachcare with regard to our concerns. I feel that the property owners have been let down by a poor effort from Bachcare staff.
- Nicole, February 2022Tisha “Beautiful location across the road to a tidal beach.”
A little tired.
- Tisha, January 2022Leah “House is excellent for a large family group and the location is fantastic.”
Love the quiet road and playground for the kids, bach is well equipped. Would definitely stay again for these reasons. However the property needs maintenance - the gardens are overgrown, there is no clothesline, one of the outdoor chairs is broken, one of our party put her foot through rotten boards on the deck. Also issues with cleanliness (especially with oven and BBQ), the house could do with a deep clean. Other than those few issues we absolutely loved our stay and would stay again.
- Leah, December 2021jenny “Great house for family groups ,we ranged in age from 2 to 91.”
Perfect setting across the road from the beach and great playground. The outdoor BBQ area so useful on the windy days .House well equipped. Only suggestion would be to take some mozzie spray with you. Otherwise it was a lovely break away for all of us and an easy drive from Auckland.Steve was easy to communicate with and available when you needed him .We will be back .
- jenny, April 2021Georgia “A great property, right across the road from the water.”
beautiful outside Tuscan styled area and our Bachcare rep was extremely helpful!
- Georgia, February 2021Wendy “This property was great for our extended family including grandparents and grandchildren.”
The house is spacious and well equipped especially with all the extras like games, puzzles and toys for the under 5`s -much appreciated. We enjoyed the use of the kayak and being across the road from the beach made for a great family holiday. Thanks for a great stay
- Wendy, January 2021Alexandre “Fantastic place at the beach front!”
Stayed there the second time and would come back again. The house has a wonderful Mediterranean feel with a cozy designed backyard, great supply of the beach gear for kids. Love it.
- Alexandre, January 2021Toby “Had a terrific time, right across the road from the beach, well set up for families, we had a great Christmas.”
Thanks!
- Toby, December 2020Dianne “This is a lovely house - perfect for families.”
Lovely location and great to have a kayak at our disposal to enjoy the bay. Steve, Bachcare Manager, was just wonderful. He was very communicative and friendly. Thanks for a great stay!
- Dianne, November 2020Maree “Fabulous for our adult family group”
- Maree, September 2020Judy “A perfect place for a family with toddlers, we went on a weekend getaway and ...”
A perfect place for a family with toddlers, we went on a weekend getaway and were blown away by this amazing property, beach front with a nice greenery and perfect playground, David was great and helpful so thanks again
- Judy, January 2020Melissa “Another great stay at this property.”
Loved it and caters really well for families. We have been staying here for 5 years now and would love to continue doing so. The off season pricing seems to of almost doubled though so hoping that will be fixed up and that it might be an error? Lovely beach town, really enjoyed our stay.
- Melissa, December 2019Thanks for your review Melissa. We're glad you love the property as much as we do. We work really hard to ensure we put the most competitive price forward that we can, however we need to factor demand into our pricing. We hope to see you again soon! Bachcare

- Ann, October 2019Merilee “Fantastic property for families with kids.”
Plenty of room, comfortable in all weathers and beach right across the road.
- Merilee, April 2019Alexandre “Fantastic place!”
Very nice design and layout of the house, beautiful and cozy courtyard, a beach across the road and lots of sport gear make your holiday unforgettable. Top marks!!
- Alexandre, February 2019Christine “Fantastic place to stay - beautifully decorated with lovely gardens.”
Well equipped kitchen. We loved the view, the proximity to the beach and grass reserve, and the table tennis table. We are keen to come back again. Agent was helpful, friendly and quick to get back to us.
- Christine, October 2018LISA “We booked this property for a weekend getaway with friends and it exceeded our expectations.”
The house location is opposite the beach, on a quiet road, and playground which the kids loved. The house is incredibly family friendly, with amenities for all age groups, including toddler toys through to use of the bike, kayak and inflatable boat. The kitchen is very well equipped with modern appliances/amenities and a good quality BBQ in a large open courtyard. Plenty of rooms and space for 2-3 families.
