Adequate accommodation

Bach was very tired and could do with renovating. Plenty of games available which was good because the tv didn't work. Average cleanliness but the shower wasn't up to a standard I would expect. A cyclone had been through area and the whole place felt damp. It was a great location and we still enjoyed our stay.

Lovely place for a holiday, but communication needs improvement.

Great location, 2 minute walk to beach.Interior of bach is compact and modern, great lounge area, bedrooms are quite small. Fine for the four of us. Exterior, rear deck and outside shower do need some urgent maintenance /repair.Good location for cyclists and I recommend the Waihi Beach to Bowentown ride and the rails trail from Waihi to Waikino. The walk to Orokawa Bay is also stunning.There is quite a lot of construction and building repair work occurring in the street and we had two tradespeople carry out minor works on the property while we were staying there so suggest you check before booking, what construction is going on in the area and the property.

Nice and compact. Proximity to beach and ammenities great. Heat pump didn't work but a backup oil heater was adequate. Miscommunication with manager and cleaner meant the place was a little unkempt. Didn't spoil the vist. Promised a refund of cleaning fee yet to occur 10 d later.

Good location, pluses and minuses with house

On arrival we were given a full page of cleaning and maintenance tasks we were expected to do on departure, but it seemed there was no checking that equipment was maintained. There were multiple examples. On arrival I had to replace batteries in heat pump remote before it would work to cool very hot house, and oven thermostat was non-functional. Owner replaced stove, which we were grateful for, since we had to cook a Christmas dinner for seven! I have owned and rented out a beach bach so I understand the challenges, Staying here would be more enjoyable if maintenance was not entirely dependent on renters.

Ok Stay.

Overall was a nice stay but a small size home. Pity it rained most of the weekend forcing us to stay indoors most of the time. This however uncovered a few things - 1 of the bunk bed mattresses was more like a base to a single bed - making it a very hard mattress for our son to sleep on.. The room were nice but very small. Most of the board games had bits and pieces missing from them - jenga set was good and so we're the cards. Only other concern we had was the cleanliness of the home. We found socks/underwear under the bunks that we threw out, old plastic dirty bag stuffed in one of the cupboards, the living room chair covers need a wash. Other than these few things it was a nice stay the home is stunning and with a few pick me up things could be better - Loved the location. Lockbox outside would be beneficial- however communication was good for a second spot to pick up... Thanks

Great little bach to suit a long weekend

The bach itself is great, we had 4 adults and 4 kids and there was enough room for us. Great kitchen and living area, comfy beds, suitable bathroom and free wi-fi was a bonus. Weather was a little iffy so we didnt use the outdoor area but bbq in summer would be lovely. Overall cleanliness was good but there was a broken ceiling panel in the laundry area. Checking in and out was inconvenient; there's no lockbox on site so you have to go to the First National office in town to collect the key. Fine on arrival as we arrived in the afternoon but we left to go home before the 10am check out time and the office wasnt open. A lock box would be perfect, especially if you want to arrive or leave outside of office hours.
