“While we enjoy returning to this cottage, there are a couple of things which need attention: The lawns need a decent mowing.”
The kikuyu near the front fence is about half a metre high. The red rubbish bin is disintegrating so needs replacement. The electric jug is plastic so over time has got to the stage that it affects the taste of the water. Its switch is also intermittent. Replacement needed that's not plastic. There was a large cobweb on the side panel of the bookcase and cupboards. On the plus side: The beds were well made, the kitchen benches all tidy, the power was on, and the BBQ gas bottle was full.

A leak in the bathroom basin plumbing was attended to by Dixie very promptly. We enjoy our stay in this cottage so will be back.

Brenda “Very comfortable and well equipped holiday home.”
Thank you.
- Brenda, June 2023Karlene “The property is great.”
NIce and comfy, great deck area. Convenient to the beach, estuary, dairy and our family that were also staying here. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks
- Karlene, February 2023Gaby “House was just great, and even better than it appeared in the photos.”
Very comfortable, well equipped, lovely great big lawn for the kids to race around on. We had a brilliant stay and would gladly come back again. Two minor points - I thought it could have been cleaner given the very high cleaning charge we paid, and the only thing missing was an umbrella for shade outside on the deck to allow you to enjoy meals on the large outdoor table.
- Gaby, February 2023Gaby, thank you for your feedback. We will work with the team on the ground to ensure the property is always sparkling clean. We hope you return to our happy place again soon! Bachcare

Thank you for a wonderful stay - we loved that it was in the perfect location - and the house was homely and comfortable
- Sharlene, January 2023Stephen “The Cottage provides a perfect sanctuary for a beach holiday.”
Whether for couples or family, this is a great property to enjoy Matapouri Bay from.
- Stephen, February 2021Joanne “As a family of 4, this house was very spacious and comfortable.”
Well equipped with everything we needed and an easy walk to the beach. Clean and tidy. (Only 1 bathroom & separate toilet, although listed as 2 bathrooms.) Well furnished inside, maybe the outside deck could do with a little more comfort & tlc. Would definitely stay again
- Joanne, January 2021Meriel “A great base for exploring the beautiful bays on this coast.”
We had a wonderful few days (grandparents and five grandchildren). The beaches nearby were brilliant and it was nice to have the big lawn with the shady tree to come back to for a bit of "downtime" in-between swims, walks and boogie boarding at Sandy Bay nearby. Next time we would book surf school for them and horse-riding for those keen. They also loved having the shop two doors down and the generous ice-creams!
- Meriel, December 2020John “A very nice house to rent.”
- John, October 2020Wendy “Great.would book this property again”
- Wendy, July 2020Michelle “Spacious house for 6 of us.”
Great front lawn for kid's ball games. Great location - a short 5 min walk to the beach, a couple of doors from the shop.
- Michelle, March 2020Emily “Great location with everything you need for the perfect holiday.”
Easy walk to the beach and estuary for a surf or swim.
- Emily, January 2020Allie “Great Bach for a beach holiday at Matapouri - 3 minute walk to the beach and close to the store too.”
Spacious, clean, lots of pantry and fridge space. We had a fabulous couple of days there.
- Allie, December 2019Ngaire “Really enjoyed our stay here.”
The house was roomy enough for our 4 teenagers. Nicely presented and looked after. Lovely large bathroom and shower. The kitchen was well decked out with every piece of equipment you could want or need. The extra fridge in the laundry area was a bonus. We enjoyed the sunshine on the deck and the short walk to the beach. This house is close to the local store and takeaways and on the main road but apart from lots of people walking past we didn't notice extra noise or disturbance. We'll be back for longer next time!
- Ngaire, October 2019Juanita “A hop, skip and a jump away from the dairy, so the essentials can be purchased (and hot food too from 11am-7pm).”
The feijoa trees on the property were bursting with fruit. A family friendly, comfortable home away from home. A great place to stay which I would have no qualms in doing so again. Thank you.
- Juanita, April 2019Chris “Great property in good location.”
- Chris, March 2019Minnie “Great spot, close to the beach.”
House was clean and we would definitely return :)
- Minnie, February 2019Anna “We really enjoyed our week long stay in this big comfortable house.”
It is very well equipped with a great kitchen, big bathroom and spacious living area. Couldn't be closer to the diary for ice creams and a short walk to spectacular Matapouri beach. We were a family group of 2 adults and 4 teens and it was perfect for us.
