Our group was extremely happy with our experience, perfect location and comfortably fit everyone well. It’s spacious aswell as private. 5 minute walk to the main stretch of shops and into the town which is a game changer while on holiday. Would absolutely recommend
Great space for a large group to bunk down and catch up overnight before heading out in the morning to do things. Fanatasitly close to everything to do in whitianga
The host was amazing, provided all required information and more. This property is lovely, fantastic location, very clean and suitable for a large group. Was the perfect spot for our girls weekend away.
Great property for sharing with two families. Adults upstairs and kids downstairs worked really well for us (also space for a full family to share a room downstairs if needed). Plenty of utensils, the kitchen, for cooking and dining. Lots of space for everyone to relax, and games to play etc were great. Everything a classic bach should be!We enjoyed and easy cycle to the town and the beach - nice flat area. Will stay again if we come back to Whitianga! Thanks Kym for sharing your property.
Great amount of space in this house with plenty of room for our party of 5 adults and two teens to spread out in. Short drive to the beach and town centre. Well equipped.
Great location and excellent for a larger group of differing ages. Separate downstairs lounge for those travelling with older kids. Bathrooms were good with good water pressure.
BBQ could do with an upgrade as it is very rusty and on it's last legs . Other than that slight negative I would recommend
House was clean however we were little disappointment by the service provide! Toiletries were not provided apart from toilet paper. Would have been nice to include sheets and towels for future.
my friends were bit upset as WiFi was not provided and other things as well utensils were not clean. Happy that we only booked it for one day and not two.

Hi rutuja, you rented a bach at a very low per person rate for the night but seem to be wanting hotel service, it is clearly noted on the listing that linen is available for an additional charge and there is no wifi at the property
