“Our recent stay during the easter weekend at this holiday home, was marred by a pervasive and overwhelming smell of cat urine, constituting a major hygiene concern.”
Despite raising the issue with the property manager upon check-in, the resolution process was inadequate, with the manager suggesting only spraying air freshener and directing us to contact Batch Care, stating she didn't work directly for them. Batch Care's response was equally unsatisfactory, stating complaints could only be lodged after checkout.

Despite raising the issue with the property manager upon check-in, the resolution process was inadequate, with the manager suggesting only spraying air freshener and directing us to contact Batch Care, stating she didn't work directly for them. Batch Care's response was equally unsatisfactory, stating complaints could only be lodged after checkout. Even after providing evidence, including a picture of a cat on the premises, our complaint was met with silence for over three weeks before Batch Care dismissed it, claiming no evidence of a cat or odor was found by the property owner and manager. This dismissive response not only failed to address our valid concerns but also left us feeling disregarded and unheard as customers, tarnishing what should have been a relaxing holiday experience. I cannot recommend this holiday home, and a more customer-centric approach to problem resolution is necessary from both the property management and Batch Care.
- Geethika, March 2024We are so sorry that you had to endure this during your recent stay and we will certainly address this with our local team. Bachcare

Marty “The property is very tied and needs general home maintenance.”
There are cupboard doors falling off the kitchen, tap in bathroom loose, hand hail on stairs no secure and we had to remove a rug on the bedroom floor as it stunk of cat urine.
- Marty, March 2024Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback 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
Tessa “Kitchen tap needs replacing.”
Shampoo & Soap should be supplied in bathrooms Code we were provided to get into the lockbox was incorrect, which was very frustrating, especially as we were checking in at 11.00pm. I tried the lockbox earlier in the day just to make sure we had the correct code (because we were given an incorrect code by Bachcare last summer). The code didn’t work so I rang Bachcare and was told it was because I was checking in too early. I said, as long as the code works when we check in later tonight. Of course it didn’t. Only positive thing I can say is that at least Bachcare answered the phone at 11.00pm and could give me the correct code.
- Tessa, November 2023Thank you for your feedback Tessa, 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
Linsey “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!”
Ideal location with amazing views. Beds were all very comfortable and the shower downstairs is amazing. Close to the aquarium which was well worth a visit even with teenagers. Highly recommend the delight plus Chinese takeaway. We will definitely stay again
- Linsey, October 2023David “Loved our time at this beautiful property!”
- David, September 2023Kay “Beautiful property, centrally located to town and attractions.”
Super warm, especially at this time of year. We will definitely take the opportunity to use this lovely place again sometime. Thanks you!!
- Kay, July 2023Theuns “Lovely place.”
Enjoyed every minute of our stay. Lots of space, a real holiday home. Must say we loved the new bathroom downstairs. Will definately go back.
- Theuns, January 2023Michelle “We loved our stay here.”
Great location and exceeded our expectations. Views were stunning and nice spacious house for a group.
- Michelle, November 2022vicki “Really Appreciated the property Manager coming out to give us Linen, As I forgot I had not added to Price of accommodation.”
Beautiful views and quite
- vicki, October 2022Robyn “The location is fabulous- watching sunsets from the back deck and sun (and moon) rise from the front windows was a treat.”
The rooms and bathrooms are really good sized, and the whole place is very well appointed. Had everything we needed for our stay. The heat pumps came in handy when the weather turned and the temperature dropped too. Would absolutely recommend to anyone staying in Napier and would come back again. The only negative for us was the oven was not working- and travelling with 2 kids with fairly severe food allergies we were planning to cook most nights. Response from the Bach care team was quick, someone came out that night to check, then tradies arrived the following morning. Unfortunately it couldn’t be fixed till the day before we checked out as they had to wait for a part. That was our only frustration though- and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Napier.
- Robyn, October 2022Nichole “Perfect location, walking distance to almost everything.”
Lovely views.

- Julia, December 2021glenda “Great location, plenty of room, getting abit dated for the price.”
It's a shame bachcare don't seem to help with early check-in.
- glenda, October 2021Thank you for your review, Glenda! We're glad you enjoyed your stay! We will be looking into some improvements with the property owners to improve the guest experience. Regarding the early check in, we're happy to assist guests with these requests where possible, but in this case there was another booking departing on the morning of your check in day after which we needed to clean to get the property ready for your arrival.

Close to everything, literally right across the road from the beach (views were awesome) heaps of space. Irene and Mark were really nice and easy to communicate with.

Very well kitted out, everything you need is there. Great location not far from town, directly across the road from the sea with a beautiful view. Lots of parking which is great. Our property manager Irene was great to deal with too.
- Naomi, February 2020Esther “This home has an excellent location and provides stunning and interesting views.”
However, it is very 'tired' and fittings and fixtures are not of a good quality.
- Esther, January 2020Thanks for your review Esther. We really appreciate guest feedback, it is so valuable to help us improve our properties and our service. We've passed on your feedback to the property owner for review. We hope to welcome you back sometime soon! Bachcare

- Kate, October 2018Cassio “Great place for holiday.”

We had some water leakage problems although there were unusual storms at the time. Not sure if we would rent there again.
- Beth, March 2018We're glad you loved the location! We do believe that the leakage was a one off due to the level of rainfall in the area, and hope to welcome you back soon. Bachcare

Just five minutes west of the city centre, Marewa was originally part the inner harbour and 'rose' above sea level in the Earthquake. As a result most of the suburb's housing was built in the Art Deco style and forms part of the Deco Tourist Trail. It has its own shopping centre and there are reserve walkways to take a stroll.
