Julie “Great spot we will come back”
- Julie, August 2024 -
Megan “The perfect spot for a couple of families with young kids.”
Easy little kid walking distance to playground, cafes and four square, and beach access makes it easy to bring kids home after a play at the beach. The place is huge and has plenty of toys ans books, so works well even when the weather is cold and wet.
- Megan, June 2024Alice “Thanks for a great stay - you have a beautiful home!”
What an awesome location. Right on the beach, with cafes close by, and Waikanae town only 5 mins down the road.
- Alice, March 2024Donald “The property location and the new gardener are excellent.”
The cleanliness under the current property manager was very good. The maintenance and comfort of the furnishings and appliances were very poor. Specifically, -Beds were very uncomfortable. Internet available mattresses would be a huge upgrade -Kitchen appliances and appointments were terrible. Hob temperatures were very high at any setting...making cooking difficult. The pots and pans were lacking. -The4egrill was actively dangerous. Sarah, the property manager, addressed several times, and was excellent. This was literally an explosion risk. - There was a basic smoke alarm missing. Sarah put one in to address. -The upstairs bathroom light was running very hot, and left scorch marks and a strong burning smell when moths and insects got in while it was left on for nighttime guidance. very dangerous. Overall, rthe furnishings are old and worn. We will not be renting again if there is not better condition and attention.
- Donald, February 2024Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback which we will share with the property owner. We will certainly address the issues you have raised and look forward to welcoming you back. Bachcare
Donald “The location, and new gardening cleanup were excellent.”
Furnishing was pretty shabby and awful. not enough seating in the lounge. Brroken chairs, old furniture, wobbly table. Dangerous grill. Sarah wotrkerd to fix things while she could, but the Hob doesn't have adjustable heat, there are no baking sheets , the frying pans were a disgrace. Again, Sarah fixed some of it. Beds were truly awful and uncomfortable. The light in the upstairs bacthroom heated up to burning when moths flew in at night and it was left off. Actually a scorch mark and burning smell when light was left on for nighttime navigation. We love this location, but before we pay this much, we would have to see some serious upgrades
- Donald, January 2024Thank you for your feedback Donald and we will certainly address the issues you have raised with the owners. Bachcare
Carly “We had a wonderful stay, the house was perfect for our large group.”
It was clean and tidy with everything we needed. The location was perfect, close to the cafes and shops and we loved having our own access to the beach and enjoyed the views from the living room and deck.
- Carly, November 2023Gerard “Good location to beach and cafes, plus four square.”
Accommodation was good and lovely view from the balcony. However there were some things that need addressing. 1)Main bed upstairs- the bed mattress needs replacing. The mattress slopes from the right and coil springs can be heard when sitting on bed. 2) pool cue sticks are damaged 3) lack of chairs for outside balcony 4) outside table and chairs in backyard need a good clean 5) Only 1 wine glass
- Gerard, October 2023Deborah “The house is in an amazing location, easy to reach from sh1.”
A short private path to the beach and stunning views from living room - trees obstruct some of the views. While the property is clean, tidy and spacious we were disappointed with the quality of the furniture- no comfortable sitting to sit and look at the view. No sofas or chairs to relax on and enjoy the view and company. The dining table was wobbly, chairs creaky and the beds springy and light on bedding. The oven - also easily unpredictable. The property is stunning but the comfort aspect lets it down, one of the guests commented that at the price point you’d expect comfortable sofas and seating in the living space. Also even with the heaters it was cold in the downstairs bedrooms with one person having to raid the used bedroom for extra bedding as they couldn’t sleep as so cold. Definitely needs another type of heating downstairs.
- Deborah, October 2023Gaye “Wonderful property.”
The view was excellent. Accommodations were warm. Well appointed kitchen. Bedrooms were comfortable. Easy access and parking
- Gaye, August 2023Donald “This is a wonderful property, but it is in some cases, poorly maintained.”
The property was musty and dusty when we arrived, with dust on all surfaces. The hob was functional, but you couldn't effectively manage the temperature(always high). The property wasnin general functional, but the condition of the outdoor furniture and the yard was a bit of a concern. Other than the minor things reported, the stay was wonderful,nand the general property was great.
- Donald, February 2023Thank you for your review Donald. We are sorry to hear you found some amenities not up to standard. Your feedback has been taken onboard and we are working on a plan for maintenance between regularly scheduled cleans. Bachcare
Mike “On arrival we noticed a few things: 1.”
The rubbish from the previous guests had not been taken away 2. The floors had not been vacuumed, especially noted on the stairs. 3.The windowsills had not been cleaned - huge, dead blow flies abundant. 4. The pool table /tennis table area was littered badly with dead leaves/garden material which we swept away for you. 5. Lower Garden area was unkempt and overgrown. 6. Top of stove was dirty(element surrounds); uncleaned silver dishes in tray cupboard. We also noticed: 1. There was no can opener 2. There were no oven mitts for getting hot things out of the oven; needs to be on the list that you send out if you not providing. We had trouble with: Excessive noise from partying neighbours (midday 13/1/22 to 3am 14/1/22) Neighbours from party above using the beach track on the property at 1.30am to get to the beach; noisy young men which frightened the younger female members of our group. Must put this on the listing that others are using the beach access through the property.
- Mike, January 2023Thank you for your feedback and we will certainly address the issues that you have raised. Bachcare
Eleanor “Our friend group had a fantastic time in Waikanae despite a rainy forecast, this in major part due to these amazing accommodations.”
The property was perfectly located in Waikanae near the Long Beach Tavern, FourSquare and right next to the beach. Little things like having plenty of space, parking spaces (room for four cars easily), dining chairs (ten+), reading material, toilet paper, towels, and a very well-stocked kitchen with every utensil I could have imagined, made the property feel extra welcoming and the whole trip super easy.
- Eleanor, December 2021Simon “A fantastic place to stay, close to the beach and local restaurants.”
10/10.
- Simon, November 2021Rupali “The property is close to the beach, clean, spacious with 2 bathrooms and has all the essential amenities.”
Excellent location with sea views.
- Rupali, October 2021Kathryn “Prime location and interesting large home with a great view.”
The local cafes just down the road are both great.
- Kathryn, October 2021caitlin “Lovely home, great views.”
Fridge was off on arrival which wasn't great given we had frozen goods. More communication re available equipment/basics in house would be helpful prior to arriv.
- caitlin, October 2021We were delighted to hear that you enjoyed the views and the house during your recent stay in Waikanae. Our apologies for not having the fridge turned on for your arrival and your feedback is appreciated as we are continuously trying to improve our services. Bachcare
Keryn “Thank you very much from my family to you .”
We thoroughly enjoyed our couple days at your property to the point where we are planning on returning with other family members . The house was beautiful very accommodating for us needs and those views we just beautiful. So thank you again from us to you and we can't wait to book again.
- Keryn, June 2021Jackie “Lovely home lots of room ,quiet and great access to beach”
- Jackie, June 2021Kristen “This property provides beautiful views to Kapati island and has a lovely sheltered garden.”
It is the perfect property for a family get together where there is a range of ages. Providing table tennis table and BBQ in garage and easy access to beach. It is good to note the stairs to the living area are quite steep if there are elderly people in the group. One of the best features is how warm this property is with a very effective fire place .
- Kristen, May 2021Deb “Wonderful location, very private, great view of the beach, a little bit of something for everyone.”
Well enjoyed by the family
- Deb, April 2021Lana “Loved a big house overlooking the ocean.”
Lots of room for kids to have own zone enjoyed short walk to beach. Quirky place with modern features. Loved wooden beams and appliances. Would stay again but with more people to make use of this large place.
- Lana, April 2021Helen “This is a lovely beach house, well equipped, comfortable and great for an extended family group.”
The views are so special especially at sunset and it is lovely having direct access to Waikanae Beach. We would love to come back.
- Helen, April 2021Violet “My friends and I loved staying here, everybody felt like they had their own space and we really enjoyed the garden, balcony and the direct access to the beach.”
Highly recommend this bach, especially for larger groups - it is clean and modern yet still feels homely and down to earth.
- Violet, April 2021Lesley “We had a lovely stay, big and comfortable and right on the beach just perfect for what we needed.”
- Lesley, April 2021Chris “We had a great family weekend in a lovely and very private property.”
The layout really suited us. The views and sunsets were amazing. We plan to come again.
- Chris, February 2021Nicole “Amazing views and beach access, within walking distance to nice cafes and a well stocked 4 square.”
We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again.
- Nicole, November 2020Chris “Lovely huge house with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, private access to the beach, and everything you need for a getaway.”
- Chris, October 2020Philippa “Great location, close to coffee shops, restaurants and the beach.”
Amazing views from upstairs, and it was lovely to arrive back in the afternoon to a sun-warmed lounge. We booked the property primarily for somewhere to sleep, and were disappointed with the overall comfort and cleanliness of the beds. The duvets and pillows would certainly benefit from some upgrading.
- Philippa, September 2020Thank you for your feedback, Philippa! We're glad you enjoyed the location and view during your stay. We are sorry to hear you weren't entirely happy with some aspects of the property. We have now passed on the feedback to the property owner and will be working on any possible improvements. Bachcare
Tania “Really loved staying in the house was nice being close to the beach.”
- Tania, June 2020Bridget And Kevin “Fantastic property for our grown family to holiday in.”
Very large property right on the beach with amazing views. Fire was brilliant for these cold evenings. So handy to everything. Felt really spoilt staying there!
- Bridget And Kevin, May 2020Susan “I had a wonderful stay here.”
It was lovely to be able to walk through the garden and onto the beach. I was able to spend a day working at the table with the door open onto the deck and hear the waves, and see the beautiful view when I looked up from my computer.
- Susan, November 2019Michael “Amazing location and view”
- Michael, October 2019Lesley “Ideal house for a large group with plenty of different spaces for different activities.”
Lovely having direct access to the beach. Good proximity to play area and cafes.
- Lesley, October 2019Kate “We had a wonderful stay at this house.”
We were two families with young children and the house was perfect. The location could not have been better, right on the beach with private access and very close to the playground and cafes. The Bachcare manager Raewyn was fantastic to deal with, friendly and helpful.
- Kate, September 2019hayley “We loved our stay here thanks so much!”
Great views and heaps of space. close to the beach, the playground and cafes. We will be back!
- hayley, June 2019Heather “Beautiful views from the beach and very handy to cafe.”
Easy lovely walks to enjoy. The garden is very overgrown and path to beach is almost impossible due to lack of pruning of shrubs.
- Heather, April 2019Hi Heather! We are big fans of the view from the property and also the location which is so close to the beach. Thank you for your feedback regarding the garden and pathway. We will pass this on to the owners to remedy. Bachcare
Catherine “Great location, private and spacious house, nice that the kids can be downstairs separate from adults.”
Insides are dated and the kitchen has lots of supplies but it’s not very high quality - so better not to cook there unless you have to. Wouldn't be suitable for very young children due to the stairs and the distance between the lounge and the garden and the ungated beach access. Nice place overall for a basic stay.
- Catherine, April 2019Hi Catherine! Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and this holiday home's location. We're sorry to hear the kitchen didn't live up to your expectations, and agree it is not the most modern one, but certainly suitable for cooking any type of meal! We'll add a note to the listing about the potential risks for little ones - great suggestion Bachcare

- Lorraine, March 2019Keith “Delightful property”
- Keith, February 2019Tracey “The most amazing place to stay!”
!! Such a wonderful home, private and spacious, gorgeous views, huge and really comfortable home with quality features. The beds were all comfortable and lots of sleeping options for big families or groups. Great spot on the beach and well worth the price! Will definitely stay again!
- Tracey, February 2019Karen “Excellent location with lovely views and good access to the lovely beach, but the house is sparsely furnished especially downstairs in the bedrooms.”
Garden rather tired and unkempt. Good cafe across the road.
- Karen, January 2019Hi Karen, we're glad you love the views and beach access! Thank you for the feedback and we hope you agree that the listing does accurately show the furniture. The cafe's wonderful! Bachcare
