The property was fit for purpose, for our last minute long weekend trip. To keep warm there were multiple heaters and a fireplace, but only 1 piece of wood provided. Plenty of games to play too, which was fun for all the family to get involved in.

A kiwi bach

Well set up, has everything you need. Was very cold and thought the firewood for $20 a bag was expensive.

I was hesitant to leave a review…

… but I feel like the 10/10 exceptional reviews set me up for disappointment. This is an old school bach, as described but even closer to the water than we expected. The beds are comfy and the towels are lovely and soft. The kitchen is well equipped. However, it had been a while since anyone had stayed here and we could tell. Cobwebs, a musty smell, a lot of dust under the beds (my daughter had to take antihistamines, which she doesn’t usually need), and a surprise weta living in the shower plug hole. Yes, we could have vacuumed, but the vacuum cleaner was already full from a previous clean, and really we were just here to sleep.

Hi Joanne, thank you for the feedback. It is always good to hear how we can improve. We have now removed the dust under all the beds and ensured that the vaccum cleaner is being emptied on a regular basis.
