Adrian 
“An unforgettable long weekend.”
- Adrian, September 2024 -
Leanne “Positives- Well proportioned home.”
Easy to access property for check in which was nice. Bathrooms were clean. Disappointing given the price- Dated even though it didn't appear that way based on the pictures. Cobwebs in the passage and bedrooms. Dusty. Could be nicer with better linen and toiletries.
- Leanne, June 2024Hi Leanne , thank you for your feedback . We're sorry to hear that your experience with us fell short of your expectations, particularly with regards to cleanliness. We take all feedback seriously and would like to assure you that we have addressed this issue with our cleaning team to ensure that it does not happen again. Bachcare
Nancy “This was a great house to celebrate my 65th birthday in late Autumn.”
Five bedrooms with comfy queen and king single beds made it ideal for me and my women friends. No climbing up onto bunk beds was required! We had a very enjoyable weekend, walking on the beach, cooking in the well-appointed kitchen, and eating together at the round dining table. The heat pump and heaters in all bedrooms kept us cosy and warm. However, we would have appreciated more lighting in the lounge area, a table or standard lamps, for example, so that we could more easily see to read and do crafts in the evening when we were all chatting after dinner.
- Nancy, May 2024Robyn “Instructions on how to use the TV would be helpful.”
Definitely more toilet paper was needed. Other than that it was a very nice property.
- Robyn, March 2024Samantha “Great place and perfect for our girls trip (and would also be perfect for extended families).”
Have definitely talked about returning! A few bits of feedback: There is a bird nesting in the roof (you can see from the top level hallway window facing the road) and going in and out of the vent it was noisy. Not sure why but on one night it was constant (despite being night time!). It was great to have the extras (TV/sounds system etc) but we were unable to play our own music as no bluetooth/smart TV capabilities and the sound system was older and most of the CDs were scratched. If we had known we would have brought a bluetooth speaker with us. :) No information booklet (that we could find) so we weren't sure if we were allowed to access beach via gates or had to walk round the walkway past the playground. Would also have been handy to know hours for the store and cafe as well as know about the cafe by the golf club and have a few suggestions for local things to do. None of these were deal breakers but wanted to feed them back to you. Like I said, we loved it and it was perfect for a few relaxing days away with friends.
- Samantha, October 2023Pearl “This property was great, very spacious, had everything we needed.”
Affordable and would definitely stay here again. The only setback was communication with Bachcare, very poor and I had to make multiple calls and every time the office would say they would call me back they never did. This was 5-6 times. Very frustrating and instead of enjoying our holiday, we were stressed and left in limbo whether we had a place to stay or not. Very disappointing as we have used Bachcare for 7 years and this was the first time communication was appalling. It was easier when we dealt directly with the property managers instead of Bachcare Headquarters.
- Pearl, September 2023Vicki “What a wonderful house!”
It was perfect for our 'girls' weekend. So much space to spread out and relax. The beds were all very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and the wifi coverage was great. It would be nice to have some little rubbish bins for the bathrooms and several of the light bulbs need to be replaced...especially the one outside the front door. Otherwise it was absolutely fabulous. We would definitely like to stay there again.
- Vicki, March 2023Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your experience and are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Ocean Escape. We have passed along your feedback on light bulbs and the other improvements and we are looking forward to hosting you again in the near future. Bachcare
Steph “Thank you - the stay was great and its a great property.”
- Steph, March 2023Carl “The only thing that makes me not rate Bachcare a 10 here is the truly poor customer experience when the booking wasn't able to go ahead due to Cyclone Gabrielle.”
6 phones, many promised call back finally got it sorted. If the end outcome was sorted on the first phone call, it would've been a great experience. Providing good service is easy when everything goes well - it's a test when it goes to wrong to still deliver excellent service - but when you can, those are the magic moments people share - both good and bad.
- Carl, February 2023Gaylene “The place was filthy.”
Photos on website must be very old. Pool table has big rip in cloth. Kitchen bench is broken - could easily be fixed with a proper adhesive. A few other things a bit broken. Although plenty of plates (quite old though), and plenty of wine glasses, there were only 3 standard drinking glasses. Good thing was how close it was to the beach and plenty of space for all of us.
- Gaylene, February 2023Thank you for your feedback Gaylene, we are sorry to hear about the cleaning and facilities 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
Oliver “Awesome stay thank you.”
Great location & we will be back!
- Oliver, December 2022Jade “WHO Evers cleaning it needs to do a better job.”
There was stuff all over the floor when we arrived. Also update the new photos, the place is tired, and we were unable to have our bbq because it is unusable, and filthy, also there’s no point having photos of the pool table as it’s all ripped and unusable. Good location and lots of space.
- Jade, May 2022Julie “Lots of space to spread out.”
Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. Carpet at little worn but otherwise all good.
- Julie, March 2022Katy “We had the most fabulous time, what a beautiful property with everything you need and loads of space.”
The location so close to the beach. The property was clean and had everything you need, and after reading prior reviews was really glad to see the couches were in perfect condition :-) This home has a nice relaxed feel to it that is easy to stay in.
- Katy, February 2022Nicola “Very large house to sleep many.”
Large living spaces and very close to the beach with lovely views from upstairs. House grubby, and gardens need maintenance.
- Nicola, February 2022Marilyn “Lovely for friends or family with access to beach.”
Lots of bathrooms and underfloor heating a great bonus in Winter!
- Marilyn, June 2021Stacey “Wouldn‚Äôt recommend staying here till the owners changed the interior.”
Couches were ripped in more places than I could count. The place was dirty, with handprints all over the windows and walls. Not a great stay
- Stacey, April 2021Thank you for your feedback Stacey, we are sorry to hear that this property did not meet your expectations. The owner does have new fabric couches on order, but due to shipping delays, they had not arrived in time for your stay. We are also sorry to hear that the general standard of the house did not match your expectations. The windows had been cleaned the previous week, but in coastal areas, they become dirty again quite quickly. The house is a well-loved and used family bach that owners want guests to feel that they can kick back relax in rather than wanting it presented as a luxury property. Bachcare
Barbara “Large spacious house close to the beach, great for a summer break or a base for events in the area.”
- Barbara, March 2021Jacqueline “This property was well situated close to the beach, was very spacious and had lots of play equipment available to use.”
The bedrooms were a good size and beds were comfortable. Unfortunately, the furniture, fittings and general decor were very old and grubby and badly in need of an upgrade. The upholstery on the two main sofas was torn and had sheets draped over them. The level of cleaning was also totally inadequate. There were with greasy marks around the handles on all of the kitchen cupboard doors, a tea towel that was put away filthy, appliances and kitchen utensils that had not been cleaned and dead bugs that had collected in the light fittings.
- Jacqueline, February 2021Thank you for your review Jacqueline! We'd like to confirm that a new lounge suite has been ordered to replace the existing one. In terms of cleaning, a deep clean had been done before the holiday season as we do these along with the standard cleans after each stay, and the next deep clean is scheduled for this month. We're sorry that in this case, the deep cleans were too far apart for the high occupancy this property experienced over summer. Since your stay we have also cleaned the carpet and windows. The property owners will also be looking at other improvements that can be made during the off season. Bachcare
Julie “Excellent location but lounge suite needs to be replaced and place could be cleaner.”
- Julie, January 2021Thank you for your review Julie! Yes, the lounge suite replacement has now been ordered. In terms of cleaning, the next deep clean is scheduled for this month. Since your stay we have also cleaned the carpet and windows. We hope to see you again soon! Bachcare

- Nicky, June 2020froukje “Great place .”
Good location.had everything we needed.
- froukje, February 2020Tammy “This is a fantastic property especially for a large group, or multiple families.”
So much space and is very comfortable. Nice secure backyard, with easy walkway that leads straight to the beach. Views are amazing. I will be back, and next time will have the kids in tow. Great stay, highly recommend.
- Tammy, November 2019Bill “Nice big house for family holiday and in a great location right by the beach.”
Great views from upstairs! Kitchen area could do with a good clean and windows were a bit grubby in dining/lounge area. Apart from that our kids and grandkids had a fun time on the beach and we all had a great stay here. Would definitely go back!
- Bill, November 2019Thanks Bill for taking the time to let us know about your experience at Ocean Escape. We try really hard to ensure all our properties are always sparkling clean and we're sorry that on this occasion the house wasn't up to our usual standards. We value your feedback and it helps us continue to improve our services. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the beach and we would love to have you back! Bachcare
Sharon “Lovely big roomy house nice outdoors”
- Sharon, November 2019Carole “House provided a lot of space for a big group which was fantastic.”
Unfortunately a lot of maintenance is needed. We found the cleanliness of the property was very poor.
- Carole, October 2019Hi Carole, and thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the space and very sorry to hear you felt the cleanliness wasn't up to standard. We've addressed this with our local team to ensure the property is presented at the level our guests expect from us. We hope to see you again in the future! Bachcare
Lynn “Fantastic house for a large group.”
- Lynn, August 2019Alison “Our group of eight had a wonderful weekend at Ocean Escape.”
The house is spacious and comfortable with an easy walk to the beautiful beach. It is very quiet and we all slept well. There is such a lot to do in Matakana. We should have stayed longer.
