4days in Whangamata

Great location and lovely Bach. We were rather surprised we had to drive 3 km out of town to dispose of our rubbish (and pay) or be charged $100 - this should be part of the charge made for the property.

Had an amazing stay at Bob’s Batch. House and outside area is really good and met all our families needs. Very close to the beach and short walk to the beautiful beach. Would definitely recommend Bobs Batch

good location & very ample for our family group of 7

everything we needed was there, with plenty of drawers in the kitchen except that there were no extra bin bags to use. There was mention that there were beach towels but none were found.

Beach holiday

Another lovely holiday at Whangamata. The kitchen is well equipped, and everything is always clean. Much appreciated! There's plenty of fridge space. The beds are comfortable, although without a fan or air conditioning it was too hot to sleep some nights. It's great having two bathrooms! Good water pressure in the shower but it swings between very hot and freezing cold. Also, one of the showers smells as though there's a leak underneath it. The big kitchen table is awesome for laying out a puzzle and playing board games. The close proximity to the beach is a huge plus! Because the decking and path are made of timber that's been nailed down rather than screwed down we had to dodge raised nail heads - even though we hammered them back down. In the heat they pop straight up again. I would consider it a hazard for anyone in bare feet - especially little children. Also, it would be nice if there was some sort of shed/garage to store our bikes and boogie boards when we're not using them. But we always thoroughly enjoy our holidays here - this is the third time we've stayed here. It suits us well. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us! We very much appreciate it!

Fantastic Location, Cool and Spacious

Lovely spacious open plan Bach with superb indoor/outdoor flow. Short walk to town and the beach is at end of road. Block down to surf club.Enough space outside for our dog to run around too. Only issue we had was in relation to our small dog: had to block access to the front gate (where another vacationer already noted deep space underneath gate) and also side wooden fence which is damaged/has gaps where a smallish inquisitive dog (such as mine ) could definitely escape. Superb Bach and location which suited our family perfectly. Will definitely rebook and recommend!

Spacious bach in great location

Lovely bach for a group of six adults and a dog. Very spacious. Well equipped kitchen for Christmas day cooking. Fully fenced, however, there is a small space beneath the gate that small dogs could sneak under. Walking distance to the beach and shops. Would happily stay here again!

Gathering of the clan

The house is perfect for an extended family group..4 bedrooms, 2 showers and great indoor/outdoor flow .. amazingly well equipped..the toy boxes in the front bedroom were a hit! The house is just a block away from the beach in one direction and Blackies for great coffee, in the other. Hayley was quick to respond to our communication and resolve a confusion we had about rubbish collection and recycling..information on the listing was quickly updated. A great place to stay..highly recommend

Long weekend

Awesome location, ideal for our family reunion. Plenty of space, great outdoor flow, close to the beach, loved that the bach had toys and sports equipment. . Note, and not for publishing, the nails in the wooden pathway need rehammering down, currently a potential safety risk for anyone in barefeet.

Excellent Location. Very smooth process and stay

We stayed at this property with my immediate family (2 adults, 2 teens) + my sister and my elderly parents to attend a wedding in the area. We also brought our small dog with us. It housed us comfortably and having the two bathrooms was ideal. The check in process was simple. Communication was easy and they gave us helpful advice on how to find someone in the local area to look after our dog while we were at the wedding. The house has all you could possibly need, very well equipped. It does say it's fully fenced and the only issue we had was we couldn't just let the dog out (miniature schnauzer) in the yard and not worry, as there were a few holes in the side fence she could get through, under the main gate across the driveway, and under the house. A toddler would be ok. House was very clean (except the shower glass could do with a treatment). Excellent location, very short walk to beach and Blackies cafe only 100m down the road. Would highly recommend.
