“We had a great time at Ollaberry.”
Basic facilities but has everything you need. Ideal for young families and couples with great location to everything and walking distance to the estuary. Will happily stay again :-)

Jeanette “Everything about the house was as listed and we're very happy with everything about it EXCEPT not getting a good night's sleep due to water pump inside a shed 3m away from both bedrooms, turning on for 6 seconds then off for 21 seconds then back on 24 hours of the day.”
We asked if we could turn it off at night when we went to bed, but never got a yes or no answer, only that it's normal as the water tank must have a leak.
- Jeanette, March 2023Thank you for your feedback on the maintenance that is required on the pump at the property. We are sorry to hear this happened during your stay. We are discussing this with the property owners and working hard on improvements to ensure this home continues to offer an amazing experience to our guests. Bachcare
Rose “Really cute place although quite dated.”
We did pay for sheets, towels etc but the double bed didn’t have any pillow cases on which was weird, only on the two single beds - maybe it was just missed? Also really hot and no fan or anything, so struggled to sleep at night. Also couldn’t find the dvd player, but managed to get the tv to work after a few goes. It was a good simple place to crash at night but perhaps not for a longer stay. Thanks for having us!
- Rose, January 2023Hi Rose, Thank you very much for your feedback we are glad you thought the property was a "really cute place". We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with this insight. We have passed along your feedback to the local team. We hope to host you again in the future. Bachcare
Katherine “We really liked our stay at Ollaberry!”
Great location, good facilities, clean and tidy. Very cute!
- Katherine, January 2023Emma “Beautifully basic - everything a classic Bach needs.”
Great location, easy walking distance to town and inlet, heaps of lawn space and fenced for kids to play, great all day sun, fantastic chilling on the deck and loved the use of the BBQ, only note is there is no internet.
- Emma, January 2022Maree “Very basic amenities, but it served our purpose for our family travelling back from up north.”
- Maree, July 2021rhona “Great traditional little kiwi bach- no frills but clean and everything you need”
- rhona, June 2021Matt “Although very dated and in places a little dirty for the price it is an excellent choice for a short stay.”
- Matt, April 2021Mikaela “We enjoyed our stay, we would come back”
- Mikaela, April 2021LEILA “Great property close to the estuary and shops which makes it easy to walk most places.”
Deck gets the afternoon sun with a great size section for the kids to run and play on. I would stay again for sure.
- LEILA, April 2021Mihi “Such a cute lil bach.”
Extra cosy which is nice, lowkey thought it was gonna be an icebox but she was toasty.
- Mihi, March 2021Rodney “We have been to this property a few times now around late Jan and we find this place an awesome family experience.”
Everything you need and 5 minute walk to the shops. Having the bunks is a added bonus for a few kids. Clare (Manager) was great to deal with and had the place ready for us on time.
- Rodney, January 2021Alexander “Exactly as described, would stay again”
- Alexander, November 2020John “Fairly basic, older-style bach but a lovely spot.”
Great location, comfortable and well equipped. Very relaxing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
- John, October 2019Paula “Very basic batch which was totally expected as advertised.”
Good value for money. Awesome location to estuary and shops. Couldn’t work the tv or DVD player as instructions were incorrect. Mattress protectors needed a clean as well as the floor under the bunks.
- Paula, January 2019Hi Paula, thank you for your feedback. We think it's great value too and guests often comment on the great location which is within walking distance to the shops and estuary. We have passed on your comments about the TV and DVD instructions. We are sorry to hear that the cleaning was not up to Bachcare standard and will ensure that it is better going forward. Bachcare
Emma “Ollaberry is a perfect location in a lovely seaside town.”
A real kiwi batch with everything that you need.
- Emma, January 2019Katie “Property is just as described and a perfectly simple kiwi bach!”
Location is fantastic, especially with children as it's an easy walk to the main street or to the estuary. It has everything you need for a laid-back holiday. We look forward to staying again sometime. Thanks!
- Katie, December 2018Cyndi “This place was a Basic Kiwi Bach, but meet our needs adequately for our stay.”
And I wasn't concerned about our almost 2 year old destroying lovely items. Great place for a family stay.
- Cyndi, April 2018Christy “The perfect little basic bach in an awesome location.”
A walk away from the beach and shops. Very old-school but clean and suited our family of four.
