Great location

This was a brilliant place for us to stay on a trip with three adult sisters and their kids. The set up of the rooms (the bunk room comes off one of the double rooms) works for family but means lots of traffic through that room. Two toilets is great. The yard is brilliant - lovely and private, nice to sit outside with a big group.

Hi Claire, it’s wonderful to hear that this property suited your family trip so well. It sounds like the layout worked well for your group, and the private yard provided a great space to relax together. Having two toilets is definitely a plus for a larger group! If there’s anything further you’d like to share about your experience, feel free to reach out—we’d love to hear your thoughts. Reputation & Resolutions Coordinators, Bachcare.

Great old school bach with beautiful garden

Perfect spot to stay in amazing Matapouri. The house is pretty well equipped for large family or group. Large garden and deck are entertainer’s dream. Our toddler loved toys, trampoline and swings. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay, house was a great size and very short walk to the beach. There were plenty of toys to keep the children entertained. Only downside was the house was in a need of a decent spring clean, it was a bit dusty and there were cobwebs. We couldnt use the bbq as it hadnt been cleaned since its last use im guessing. We did have a nice time though.

Poor communication from property manager

When we arrived the house smelled terrible - found a fish gutting station alongside the house with fish waste washed under the house (including main bedroom and bathroom). Smell was awful. Called Bachcare are received no follow up call as promised, or no assistance. We couldn't use one of the rooms for 2 nights due to the smell. House also has insufficient hot water supply.

Fantastic property, big enough for a large family or cosy enough for two! Large open kitchen with plenty of equipment and cooking utensils. Very close to the beach, being only a couple of minutes walk. Bed was comfy and the property was clean and well looked after.
