Classic Kiwi Bach In Blissful Urquhart Bay - Relax and Recharge

Thanks so much Donald! It was a pleasure to host you!

Gary, thanks for the review, we really appreciate it and so pleased you enjoyed your stay!

Thank you for your feedback. Pen Bryn is over 100 years old, and it is thoroughly cleaned before and after every stay by our excellent turnover team, so while the furnishings are intentionally simple and well-loved, cleanliness is something we do take care of seriously, and regularly. We know this style won’t be for everyone, but our regulars come back season after season for its lived in, relaxed feel. It’s very much our family bach, not a hotel, and it’s priced and advertised with that in mind.

Thanks so much much Flo :)

Kia ora Robin, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really glad you enjoyed the views, the friendly neighbours, and the unique character of our little bach. It’s one of those true Kiwi classics with plenty of history and heart! It’s been in our family for five generations, and while we don’t get to use it as often these days, it’s lovely that others can experience the same sense of bliss we’ve always loved. I’m sorry to hear about the cobwebs and the kitchen drawers. That’s not the experience we, or our wonderful turnover team, want for our guests. I’ve let them know so they can take care of that for future stays. We’ve tried to make it clear in the listing that the bach is a traditional Kiwi getaway — simple, peaceful, and unplugged, without WiFi — but we’ll take another look at how we can make that even clearer. Entry and key instructions are automatically sent through the booking platform three days before arrival. We agree the format can be a bit basic, as it’s limited by the system, but your comment has sparked a great idea. We’ll look at creating a more detailed printed guide to leave in the bach, to make things even more personal and welcoming for future guests. Thanks again for the feedback, and we truly hope you enjoyed your stay. Warm regards, Lori & family
