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.

Cooks Cottage

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

Not worth the money

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.
