Rob 
“Great location and property.”
We enjoyed a day of rain and a day of sun equally with the awesome views off the deck.

Nancy “Lovely property, perfectly located and the games room with table tennis, badminton and board games was a fabulous bonus!”
Highly recommended for a great family getaway.
- Nancy, December 2023Lydia “Beautiful place of accomodation.”
My family and I loved it. The amazing view and fresh air from the beach every morning was exactly what we needed. Thank you
- Lydia, July 2023Michelle “Great stay at an awesome location.”
Sleeps lots of guests and has great facilities.
- Michelle, March 2023Neil “We had a lovely stay at Ocean's 8.”
The property was exactly as it had been described and it proved to be the perfect place to spend our family holiday in Mangawhai Heads. Great facilities and very comfortable accommodation for 4 adults and six children aged between 7 and 13. We would have no hesitation in booking again. The location is so, so good for the Estuary. The fact that it was within walking distance really made the holiday!
- Neil, January 2023Rachael “To start we couldn't access the property, the lock box code was incorrect, we were given three codes in total and neither of them worked.”
The Property Manager had to be called in and even she couldn't get in. Eventually 1.5 hours later access to the property. The lock box needs to be replaced it is old and hard to get into. The mattress protectors were stained and needed immediate attention. The oven tray was dirty with oil in it. The property needed a good spring clean. Basic amenities like some cooking oil, paper towels, salt and pepper, foil and baking paper would have been beneficial.
- Rachael, December 2022Vanessa “I took 8 teenagers here for birthday get together.”
We had a huge bunk room for them so they were not crowded in. There is an extra bonus of a games room. It was like i had the house to myself. It was excellent location with beach access across road. Just unfortunate we couldnt control the weather :(
- Vanessa, October 2022Kathryn “Advertised as sleeping 10 but 4 of these are bunks in the garage.”
The weather was wet and very cold and the garage was also damp and very cold with no heating whatsoever. Not a grat place for young kids But thanks to the property manager was able to find a heater from elsewhere
- Kathryn, July 2022Hi Kathryn, 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 have addressed the heating situation. We look forward to hosting you again. Bachcare

Excellent location and view, all day sun, close to everything. Big enough for 2 families with teenagers. Clean and well equipped. Hope to stay here again.
- Christopher, April 2021Jose “Such a nice place to stay, manager was wonderful and location was great.”
The wrap around balcony was such a great part of the property and really added to the experience. Would highly reccomend.
- Jose, February 2021Allan “Oceans 8 is the best holiday rental property we have stayed at.”
It is perfect for a large family in a great location close to the beach and the estuary. The facilities at the house with 3 double bedrooms, a large bunk room and large kitchen family room, the various outside decks and the games room for table tennis make this house hard to beat.
- Allan, January 2021Emma “Loved this place, would definitely recommend.”
Minutes walk to the very child friendly estuary and 10 mins walk to shops. Very clean and modern and loved how decked out it was, the owners have thought of everything..... even a games room if the weather turns.
- Emma, January 2020Allan “Oceans 8 is an excellent property for a family holiday.”
It is close to beaches and shops and the facilities at the house are really great.
- Allan, January 2020Sue “An excellent holiday house for a big family holiday.”
Backyard cricket, table tennis, drinks overlooking the estuary. A very clean and well set up bach. We loved it!
- Sue, January 2020David “Great location to beach, some improvements required, left wondering - a little average for the higher price on a long weekend.”
- David, October 2019Thank you for your comments, David! We're glad you enjoyed Oceans 8's proximity to the beach and sorry that you felt that way after your stay - prices do sometimes need to adapt to demand and we always try to make sure they're set fairly and that our properties are maintained to meet our guests' standards. We'll look into your improvements suggestion! Bachcare
