We really enjoyed our stay. The view was absolutely stunning, and the location—so close to the beach—made it even more special. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind.That said, we did feel that the property could benefit from some improvements, particularly when it comes to cleanliness. With a bit more attention to detail in this area, the experience could easily be elevated to match the beauty of the surroundings.

Girl’s weekend

A great location for beach walks, and so close to shops and cafes. The house was perfect for us to sit around and relax and the heat pump kept us toasty warm. So lovely to sit on the deck and look out at the ocean.

Perfect getaway

We had a group of 4 teen girls and their mums. This bach was perfect as the girls could all share the bunk room while the mums got the big comfy beds. The location was perfect. Across the road from the beach and a nice stroll to the coffee shops. We loved it! The deck was perfect for relaxing and watching the world go by.

Traditional kiwi bach - nothing been done on the place in years, original 1950's kitchen, scratched peeling paint work and a mix of crockery, utensils etc. Bathroom is much newer. Everything pretty clean and not short of anything. Not for you if you like high spec, but good if you want a traditional kiwi beach experience. Beds are firm, which I loved - my kids not so much. Location is great and views are amazing. Lots of on site parking also a bonus.

Nice location overpriced and in desperate need of TLC

We booked this knowing it was a "bach" and had no problem with that. The location was great, It was equipped with everything we needed and the heat pump keep us warm. Really disappointed with the cleanliness. Bathroom and kitchen on surface level were fine but the dust and dirt buildup elsewhere was disgusting and off putting. In desperate need of spring cleaning considering you pay so much in cleaning fees & TLC with old paint peeling off the ceiling, holes in the walls . Def not worth it for the price, way better options out there. Recommend pricing accordingly.

We are sorry Deborah that you were dissapointed with the property . It is advertised as an original bach in original condition and is reflected in the reasonable price for a beachfront property. We recently completed a deep clean as well and focased on dusting the areas you brought to our attention. Many thanks, Time in a Place

The location was great and we caught up with our NZ families after the COVID period.

Being a rental property owner myself I’m very aware of the “cleaners” and would say I don’t believe you are getting good value from yours. When paying the agreed rental amount I accidentally paid in Australian dollars which is greater than the NZ dollar and request a refund on the over paid amount thank you.
