Mini break
Been to this bach before, however now has new owners. They were very welcoming. Enjoyed our mini break from our dogs, cats and teen. Only downside was slow internet. Maybe need to get a booster. Otherwise a lovely few days away from reality. Carlene and Neil.

Thanks for your review very much appreciated. The internet is an issue in the area - our property has alot if trees so it does impact the internet (we do have a booster installed) my understanding is that the tower is on the other side of the Lake so internet is interrupted by weather and trees. Hope you guys still enjoyed your break

Thank you Lisa for your review. My apologies about the internet, the password is in the "red information book" I have now made this more visible for guests, however the connection is a little sketchy as we are surrounded by trees so the only fix for this is to cut them down until there is a better solution as a whole for the area. Unfortunately your stay coincided with a heat wave and the abnormal for Lake Ferry - no breeze or wind. Pleased you enjoyed the fishing and the convenience of being able to bring your dog.

Loburn Bach Accommodation
Lake Ferry is a beautiful place to stay and Loburn Bach is conveniently located on the main road to Onoke Spit. Andy was very welcoming and friendly when we arrived. The bach was warm and cosy and had everything that we required. It is sited in a quiet location and the surrounding garden was lovely.

Clean and tidy
Ideal location in Lake Ferry. Property owners very friendly and helpful. The unit was extremely clean, quiet and convenient. We were delighted to be able to take our little dog there. A few recommendations: please don't assume that two adults are a couple, and even if they are they may not want to share a bed! Soap or bodywash in the shower would be helpful. A few basic kitchen supplies would be fantastic as there is no dairy in Lake Ferry: a bit of milk for a much needed cuppa after a long drive, some herbal teas, olive oil and a few condiments. But all in all I recommend this place. Thank you to the hosts.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Oct 2023
Thank you for your review Lynette and pleased that overall you enjoyed your stay. It is always helpful to get positive recommendations to improve our business. We also try really hard to keep our nightly rate at a price that is affordable to all, hence why we do provide ie: salt/pepper, tea, coffee, sugar and canola spray oil. In the bathroom we do provide, soap and hand soap, unfortunately you may not have seen the shower soap under the vanity. If we where to provide every option available in condiments this may affect our night rate. In regards to providing milk for your cuppa we are more than happy to provide this and we normally ask our guest on arrival if they require milk our apologies in your case we may have missed that question. There is a general store 5 minutes before Lake Ferry in the Pirinoa Village, which we do support and like to encourage our guests to utilise. IIn regards to the "couples" question - I am sorry if you felt offended that we assumed you were a couple. However we will never ask the question of our quests around where they wish to sleep or the status of their relationship, we would be totally reliant on the guests requesting this at the point of booking whether they required the bed and the sofa bed or otherwise we are quite happy that on arrival you just sleep where you want to. We are always available to provide anything that makes your stay more comfortable as in your case requesting a compost bin. Once again thank you for your comments/recommendations.

Lovely weekend getaway
We had a fantastic long weekend at Loburn Bach. Andy and Lea are lovely and friendly hosts and we felt very welcome. The bach is of a high standard and came with all the amenities we could need and is on a lovely property. It's situated only a couple of minutes walk to the lake and we had a great time taking our puppy for big walks and swims at the lake. He had a great time. Also only a few minutes down the road to the beach for fishing. We'd highly recommend booking to stay here, and we'll no doubt be back to stay again in the future.
