“Nice, spacious and comfortable property close to the waterfront and facilities.”

Really enjoyed our stay. Only bugbear was the chronic wi-fi signal.

“We loved this lovely rustic little holiday home.”

We loved the setting and the home feel. Just as feedback our view as follows, although these are minor: The floor could have been swept better but appreciate that where it is, this is difficult. The property did lack storage for guests especially in the kitchen, a couple of drawers or a rack to hang things in the bedroom would be great. The bed in the back room sags in the middle slightly, but otherwise ok Overall we loved this place, the garden and where it is. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

“Fantastische plek om een paar dagen relaxt te verblijven.”

Te gek huis met veel ramen en licht, fijne zachte handdoeken, fijne bedden, te gekke tuin vol fruitbomen en heel veel privacy en rust en alles wat je nodig hebt vlakbij. Enige minpunt was dat het niet heel schoon was. Veel insecten in en om het huis. Vooral door de vele overrijpe druiven op de veranda stonk het naar rottend fruit, vlogen er veel vliegen en wespen rond en moesten we 2x per dag vegen om alle gevallen rotte druiven weg te vegen. Een goede grote schoonmaak en snoei van de druiven zou het helemaal perfect maken!

“We spent a long time cleaning the deck and outdoor table as there was a lot of excess bird poo that had not been cleaned for a while.”

Also poo on one of the glass doors. Loved the property and location. The queen bed mattress needs to be replaced though as it is like sleeping in a ditch. Loved all of the fruit and a really stunning place

- Julie, February 2023

Thank 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

“The lockbox number was wrong so we could not get in.”

My son had to climb in a window which was open ( as per instructions from Bach care.) They said they would call with the correct lockbox number but emailed instead which was not good as I don't check emails regularly. The Bach was well set out but very very dusty. There was a layer of thick dust under each bed and on the bedside shelves and tables. There were crumbs on the couch. The beds are super hard and not comfortable at all. For the price of the Bach wifi would be fantastic and a dryer. The Bach itself was lovely, spacious and a great shower. Very private. The alarm on the water tanks went off with loud beeping and a flashing red light late in the night. We muted the alarm and emailed Bach care.

“Lovely tranquil setting , tasteful contemporary design with plenty of mod cons”

“I travel extensively in Australia and America normally, it's been a few years since I have traveled NZ.”

So with the pandemic keeping me here in NZ it was a trip to Marahau. We have family in Motueka and its been a few years since I have been out Marahau way. I can say I loved the property. The big section, fabulous kitchen and huge table (indoors and out) and a fire place for the cooler nights is what drew me to this property. When we arrived the property delivered this and more. We'd brought our own supplies but the owners had thought of the scissors or the foil to bake the snapper in. There was Pic peanut butter (a Nelson brand) which was a nice touch. The shower is just bliss, but remember your on tank water, so conserve where you can. What let this experience down for us was I ended up sleeping on the couch for half of the stay. The beds are flexi slat with a very firm mattress. We both had sore backs at the end of our stay. For $332/night I didn't expect to be sleeping on a couch, but that was the only way I was going to get any sleep. If you are a fan of firm beds, this is the property for you. If you want a space to sit and enjoy the sun with the radio on, a cold Mac Ale in hand, dog at your feet and a stack of books, this is the property for you.

“Marahau Magic is a fantastic place to stay.”

The outdoor entertaining area is amazing and we loved the sink, and the doors to the house that opened right up. The birds were lovely including the native wekas. So peaceful and lovely just sit on the deck and relax. A great break from technology and a chance to just read and relax.

“A beautiful and spacious property that's a stones throw from the beach!”

Great for kids too. We took our 2 year old and she loved playing in the large fully fenced garden. There were also lots of toys in the property for her to play with. Would definitely use again and recommend to friends/family.

“Pictures don't do it justice, lovely bach very near to the beach.”

Great playground next door for the kids. Great not to have a tv for some quality family time.

Noreen January 2019

“Loved our stay at Marahau Magic.”

The bach is a really cool design with great indoor/outdoor flow. It's private (not being on the main roads) and perfect for our dog as it's completely fenced. Beach walks every morning, getting away from technology (no wifi), introducing Monopoly to our son (original set at the bach) were our highlights.

- Noreen, January 2019
Jane September 2018

“Great bach, modern, private and well provisioned.”

We would definitely stay here again. Super friendly communication from the manager and we appreciated little touches like the fact that she had set the fire for us if the night got chilly. Thank you.
