Large house and lovely location
Large house to accomodate 5 of us, great location, private with 2 lounges. Some ocean view -so close to beach. The beds were very comfy. However there were some cleanliness issues. Mainly on surfaces, some kitchen cupboards - mostly the bottom surface and doors were quite dirty, and I actually cleaned one being so bad as it was covered with a large spill. While the main areas were cleaned (bathroom, floors, kitchen bench and fridge) attention to detail was dropped in other areas, and for the cost of the place we expected a spotless kitchen. Also the dressing tables in one of the bedrooms at least, was covered with dust too, so while clean in some areas, not in others. Also some inconsistencies on website, paper towels and shampoo are supposed to be provided but there were about 2 sheets of paper towels and no shampoo. While these are smaller things they are important as attention to detail enhances the experience. There was a wet patch on the carpet when we arrived too which was not mentioned by the property manager either, we assumed it was cleaned. These notwithstanding, the place was well appointed and it was a great stay for our 5 days.

Thanks for leaving your detailed comments. The house is usually presented in absolutely clean condition and I am sorry that was not your experience. Yours was a 'fast turnaround' for our extremely diligent and committed property manager. However, the previous guests had misled us as to how many people were staying. They had said 4 adults and 2 children. In fact the numbers far exceeded that - there were 7 cars, 2 motorbikes, several children and 2 dogs (the latter of which we don't allow). Our manager tried to get the place up to our usual standard of cleanliness for your arrival (4 hours after the previous guests left). The lack of paper towels and shampoo was also explained by the previous guests. We would happily have replaced them if we had known. We are sorry your holiday was marred by these issues. But glad you did enjoy your stay in the area.

Family gettogether
Great space -flash kitchen with all mod cons! Comfortable sitting room fire great. Lots of space. Double w/ ensuite perfect. Garden & decks lovely & so easy to get to beach. Well stocked pantry & flash coffee machine! Lovely seating on decks. Only concern back 2 bedrooms smelt very musty & like 'moth balls' really needed airing & seemed like had not been used for some time. Rest of house fine. Also an inappropriate artifact in the bathroom that we put in the cupboard. We stayed here 12 years ago & it was fun to come back & see the changes to the house! Thansk :)

Awesome Bach, so spacious. Its hard to find a place to accommodate 4 couples comfortable. I would highly recommend this Bach, clean, tidy with lovely vintage touches, quiet and warm.

Perfect for our family
The yellow house was perfect for our family of eight adults – all wanting you come together, but also needing their own spaces to read and play music and talk. Such a lovely light-filled comfortable indoor-outdoor feel to this house, and so close the sea and the beach but also private and protected, we all felt relaxed and happy and at home. Great, too, to entertain the wider whānau. We won’t forget our stay – the pinnacle of which was an evening walk on the beach together as the sun set and seeing shooting stars. So beautiful. Thank you to our hosts for their generosity in sharing their home.

Fantastic location to connect with friends
The listing under represented the experience at this property, which was full of nice surprises from bluetooth speakers to a coffee machine, and the beach right out the back of the property. We were spoilt for choice for lounging and eating together both indoors and outdoors, a nice way to reconnect after 6 years apart.

Lovely place to gather before a family wedding in te horo. Unfortunate about white tail in the bed having a chew on my brother. He came up with a fat ear Ouch. We struggled figuring out the stove and oven got it in the end. Otherwise a lovely stay had by all. Thank you very much
