We had an amazing stay here! What a great place to have so many people all under one roof, the inside is very well equipped and you can’t beat the view out to the coast. Thanks again for having us stay!
The house was clean and as pictured. We came on a work retreat and it was perfect for us in terms of bedrooms and space. It was well stocked for a big group and set in a beautiful location. The only challenge was that we had some issues connecting the TV to a laptop. For that reason we’ve given 4 stars – otherwise we would happily have given 5.

Hi Molly, great that you had a wonderful stay. I wish I had know that you were having difficulty. We would have sorted it out straight away. We haven't heard that feedback from a group before but will see if we can figure out why you were having issues and leave instructions for the guests.
The home is in need of repair, and does not seem maintained. In addition furniture is a bit tired and worn.

Hi, thanks very much for you feedback. Maitenance is something we take very seriously and action straight away. Unfortunately there was a breakage of the side of a kitchen drawer and also the fridge drawer over the holiday period and delays in parts arriving so these were not fixed during your stay. And a leak was discovered which I have actioned straight away. We are constantly buying new things for the bach as due ot its popularity things do get worn. The week before you arrived the spa lid and air hockey table were replaced. Most of the bedroom furniture is oak and in excellent condition. Kitchen items are constantly replaced with regular stock takes. I am happy to hear that you had a great time at the bach. Thank you for staying.
A gorgeous property, excellent for big groups, lots of space for people to do their own thing, excellent facilities and superb location. Top communication from the hosts too - would recommend and hope to be back.

Wonderful guests, left the place in fantastic condition. Great communication, would definitely let to again.
This property had plenty of space indoors and outdoors for our group of 14. Bedrooms were comfy and the 3 bathrooms meant no one was waiting. The Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. We loved the spa and easy access to the beach front. Spectacular views.
A perfect set up for our extended family and partners. Plenty of space for everyone, plenty to do, plenty of bathrooms and the well supplied kitchen got the chef daughter's approval. Some beautiful memories made here.

So lovely to hear Beverley. Thanks so much for choosing The Big Bach.
We had a wonderful stay with a group of families with kids ranging in ages as there was something for everyone here and the location directly on the beach was impossible to beat! Big tables (indoors and outdoors) for a large group to sit down together for a meal, tons of glassware, two toasters, two kettles, two fridges, two washers and dryers all help to make this an easy and enjoyable stay for bigger groups! Amazing views, a great game room for kids and hot tub for everyone to enjoy. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area and wanting a relaxing getaway at the beach!

Thanks for your wonderful review. We are over the moon that you loved your stay at The Big Bach.
Such a beautiful property we had a lovely stay!! Location and facilities were Outstanding 🥰 Pity about the neighbours, really do have to keep noise to a minimum otherwise they will be inviting themselves over to tell you exactly how they feel so a bit of a shame when celebrating special milestones. Apart from that would definitely recommend.

Samantha, after running the property as an airbnb since February 2019 you are the first guests that the neighbours have complained about. There have been many celebrations there, including weddings, hens nights, 50th etc and we have never had complaints before, but your group was too much for him. You admitted yourself that your friends were out of control and didn't listen when they were asked to be quiet. The house is not appropriate for all night parties and we definitely don't want people staying that are not going to respect the neighbours right to sleep.
We were down for a family wedding! Location was perfect - close to food and coffee! House was clean and tidy! Water pressure was great and beds were very comfy! Great for kids also! We loved our stay and if back in the area will definitely be back! Perfect for big groups! And communication with owners was quick and they were very accommodating especially when we kept adding/changing bedding! Thank you Kelly!!

Highly recommend as guests, prompt payment and excellent communication and left the house in great condition. Would be more than welcome to come stay again.
This house was perfect for a weekend away with a large group of friends. Fantastic location right on the beach and walking distance to the cafes & shops. Beautiful views & magic sunsets. There are many awesome outdoor spaces to relax and catch up, including decks, the BBQ area and the wonderful spa with a view. The kitchen is well stocked and has more than enough of everything you need. There's lots of space and is nicely furnished and set up for large groups and families. Kelly was great to deal with and everything was smooth and easy.
Can't wait to return.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Christine. We are over the moon that you had such a fantastic time at The Big Bach. You were a wonderful guest and we would love to see you return.
We had an excellent stay. The house was clean, tidy and so well provisioned. Everything you could ask for, and in quantities to suit the 20+ of us. Adults and kids had a great time. We only wished the weather was better so we could utilise the perfect outdoor area more. We will definitely be recommending, if not using again, The Big Bach in the future. Thank you.

So wonderful you had such a great time. We love hearing feedback like this. Hopefully if you do make it back the weather gods will be on your side. There have been so many wonderful sunny days.
External appearance of property belies its capacity and the quality of the accommodation.
Do not be fooled. This place has first rate fixtures and fittings, great internal accommodation, socialization spaces, kitchen and bathroom facilities and every convenience and appliance, suited for a large gathering of all ages. The games room and spa pool kept our young people occupied when the weather was inclement. They loved it!
Its location right on the beach gives unrivaled views of the sea, the sunset and the beach. The property is close to shops and cafes which were well used by all.
Our communication with the property manager was flawless and we would not hesitate to use the place again.

Thanks Tony I appreciate the review and love that you all had such a wonderful time. She is an old girl for sure, but our extensive renovations have made her very enjoyable and comfortable for guests. Thanks very much for staying, we would love to have your return.
Our stay in the Big Bach has been nothing but amazing!! Kelly was so prompt in responding and very accommodating with our requests. She patiently answered all of our inquiries even the smallest details as to how many people can fit on the table, the inventory of tableware, are just a few of the questions we’ve had. We held our intimate wedding at this place. Even though the weather was not that permitting, our event turned out more than what we’ve expected to be, as the place looks amazing on its own. Highly recommended for any kind of gatherings, even just for a quick getaway from the city! Very organized with how we can use and maximize the property. Very smooth check-in and check-out process. The place is also modern-looking and has refreshing decorations. Makes the house look so cozy!

So absolutely thrilled you had such a wonderful time Kim. We loved having your stay.
The whole experience was fantastic, from coordinating the booking and check-in times, access to the property and the house it self. Set in a gorgeous location right on the beach, the rooms and facilitates were immaculate and made for a wonderful escape for our team and our end of year function.
We are hoping to return in the not too distant future.

Thank you for your lovely review. Much appreciated. So happy to hear that you loved The Big Bach. We would love to have you back.
We held our wedding at the Big Bach and it was a great venue. We got amazing weather and stunning sunsets despite the time of year, and were able to have an outdoor ceremony. The proximity to the beach, fireplace, spa and large living area made the Big Bach the perfect setting for our 35-person event. Kelly and Stu were helpful and responsive throughout. A well-maintained and furnished holiday home!

Thank you so much for your lovely review Louise. So wonderful that you had a wonderful wedding, lovely stay and the weather gods were on your side.
Lovely place, so close to the sea. The beds were very comfortable and it is a perfect place for a large gathering. Everything we needed was there. Downstairs gaming room was perfect for us all to have some fun. Would love to stay again.
The big bach was the perfect spot for our family and friends to celebrate a 40th. The bach had everything we needed and is in a beautiful location right on the beach, less than an hour from Wellington city.

The weekend spent away at the big bach was great, perfect place to escape for the weekend.
Perfect for big groups with lots of space. The house was perfectly equipped and it was bliss to have access to walk along the beach. Absolutely loved it. Would definitely reccommend.
