Cameron 
“Awesome property, obviously a place thats made many amazing memories, we loved it!”
Such a great set up for a family and really appreciated all the toys, books and beautiful wild life. Like any batch there was a bit of sand, some cobwebs and so on, but we chose this place so our youngest could crawl around happily and it was clean enough for that. The outdoor shower only ran scalding hot, and there was some sort of funky smell under the stove (probably a dead rat under the house) but didn't hinder the experience.

- Cameron, November 2024Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and made wonderful memories at the property. It’s great to know that the setup, toys, books, and wildlife contributed to a positive experience. We also appreciate your understanding of the minor imperfections, and we’ll be looking into the issues you mentioned, like the outdoor shower and the smell under the stove, to improve future stays.

Nichole “We reported an issue to Bachcare with rotting fish under the house causing odour issues (we couldn't use the main bedroom the first two nights of our stay due to the smell) and was advised the property manager would be in touch.”
No one called or emailed and we were left to deal with it ourselves. Otherwise a lovely home, but wouldn't book through Bachcare again.
- Nichole, September 2024Good Morning Nichole Thank you for your feedback, and please accept our sincerest apologies for the odor issue and the lack of follow-up from our team. We understand how frustrating it must have been to handle this on your own, and we are truly sorry for the impact it had on your stay. A refund has been provided as a gesture of goodwill, and we’ve addressed the matter with our local team to ensure future issues are resolved promptly. While we’re glad you enjoyed the home itself, we deeply regret this experience and appreciate your feedback to help us improve. Kind regards, Bachcare
Elizabeth “Hadn't realised that one bedroom is accessed via another bedroom.”
This is fine for families but we were 6 adults so was awkward for going to the bathroom in the night. Other than that the bach was lovely with a beautiful garden and well-equipped.
- Elizabeth, January 2024Carla “Great spot!”
Has loads of space and everything you may need plus more! Shower has awesome pressure, fireplace, ample parking, activities for every kind of weather, entertaining area for any occassion! Price was great for what you get. Only miner negatives were hot water was short lived for a family of 5. For fee charged for cleaning is steep considering everything had dirty finger marks on doors, food on kitchen cupboard doors . But other then that it was amazing! Photos are older on website and don't do it justice.
- Carla, May 2023Vicky “Fabulous house with everything you need - and more - for a fantastic holiday.”
Lovely indoors and outdoors, we even had a “pet” kererū! Friendly locals, awesome beach.
- Vicky, March 2023Andrew “Excellent property in a beautiful spot.”
Handy to main beach, short walk to whale bay and general store. Enjoyed the outdoor shower after a dip. Had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Only downsides was that linen was not provided, some of the lights did not work and the property was not particularly clean when we arrived. Lots of spider webs throughout the rooms, ants in the kitchen and dusty floors. We had to do a quick clean before settling in. However these minor details didn’t detract from a great holiday.
- Andrew, February 2023Thank you for your review, Andrew. At Bachcare we take cleaning very seriously and have strict guidelines in place to maintain our high standards. We are sorry in this case this was not what you experienced. We will follow up on this with our local team along with any other maintenance that may be required. Glad to hear you enjoyed the rest of your stay! Bachcare
Huria “Kia ora, a nice, comfy and tidy holiday home.”
Stocked with everything you need. Large outdoor space. Heated outdoor shower was a treat. The bird song in the morning was lovely and the Kereru (native pigeon's) visiting during the evening was a real delight. If you are taking your own linen, sheets/pillow cases and blankets- also include tea towels and bath mats. We enjoyed our stay.
- Huria, October 2022Camille “Great outdoor space for playing, bbq and just hanging out.”
The house is fine but cleanliness left to desire particularly considering how much bachcare charges for it, e.g. dead insects with the cutlery, layers of dust on some of less seen but still visible surfaces. Not enough cutlery or China for how many people can sleep there. Nowhere near enough hot water for the people either even with short showers. Otherwise great location and the outdoor shower is great.
- Camille, September 2022Thank you for your feedback Camile. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the fabulous location and outdoor spaces. We have followed up with our local team regarding the cleaning and will arrange a deep clean. We hope we can welcome you back again in the future. Bachcare
Amanda “Lovely beach house, loved the high stud ceiling, great outdoor bar area and outdoor shower handy.”
Cosy window seat, and beachy vibe lounge.
- Amanda, April 2022Tarren “The house is accommodating has enough space for big groups and lovely gardens in walking distance to park, dairy and beach.”
- Tarren, April 2022Georgia “Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, we'll definitely be back soon!”
The house is well equipped, comfortable and homely. The outdoor area is great, from the beer fridge, outdoor shower and furniture. The indoor is perfect too, especially the large and very open lounge. The neighbors also are very lovely :)
- Georgia, February 2022Nathan “Property itself was great, a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of room for us all.”
A great spot, 1 minute down the road to the store and then 6 mins to the beach! Had a nice big outside space surrounding the property too which we took full advantage of. Only downside was the lockbox code we were given was incorrect or it was broken - luckily a door was unlocked but this also meant we couldn't lock up the house during our stay (think this is more of a fault on Bachcare's behalf).
- Nathan, January 2022Mandy “A really cute place, great location”
- Mandy, January 2022Rebecca “The property is fab and had everything we needed for a great family catchup, Lovely high ceilings with fans.”
Opposite a playground and a short walk to the local shop and beach. Just needs a bit more love on the cleaning front.
- Rebecca, December 2021Tracey “Great location, well equipped home set in lovely gardens.”
Short walk to beach..great Pipi's in the bay.
- Tracey, March 2021Andrea “Great location!”
Very near to matapouri beach. Got everything you would need. Very clean and spacious. Perfect for family or group of friends.
- Andrea, January 2021Tracy “We had such a lovely weekend.”
The house was fantastic. Very restful, spacious and had everything we needed. The kids loved that the playground was just across the road too.
- Tracy, December 2020Jon “Cute bach we loved our stay here.”
- Jon, December 2020Cassie “This property was well kitted out and we loved the window seat!”
Would definitely recommend.
- Cassie, July 2020Chris “Very well appointed home to stay, lots of space and outdoor facilities, easy walk to beach”
- Chris, November 2019William “Thoroghly enjoyed our stay.”
Would highly recdommend to other holidayers
- William, November 2019Jaime “This property had everything we needed for a fantastic weekend away.”
There were only two of us, and the way the property is laid out, means you can still feel cosy despite the property being able to sleep at least seven more people! The kitchen is spacious and was very well stocked with equipment allowing for ease of use for cooking meals. The bach is also only a couple of minutes walk to Matapouri beach and there are a number of great walks to do in the area. We loved staying here and would definitely stay again.
- Jaime, April 2019Janet “We had a brilliant mini break and found the property to be really well equipped for our family.”
Would highly recommend this property to all groups, we'd love to stay again.
