Women’s Retreat

Our group of 6 enjoyed every moment at Tattletails Rest. The house was exceptional all around, from cleanliness, amenities and location. The views from the home are spectacular! It is easy to walk to nearly anywhere in Whitianga, or take a very short drive to nearby sights. We would stay here again the next time we’re in Whitianga!

What a place!

From the moment I walked in the door I was so pleased with the booking I had made. We were travelling as an extended family of 12. There was enough space for everyone to have their own time if they needed. The house was extremely clean and tidy. Everything was perfect. Thank you

The place was amazing! One little comment: the microwave was filthy and smelly.

The place was amazing! One little comment: the microwave was filthy and smelly. I guess they forgot to clean it. It would have been nice to make the place baby friendly. Provide a cot and changing table is very little effort and it makes parents life much easier.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 June 2023
Thank for leaving a review Hanne! So sorry to hear about the microwave, that is definitely not up to Bachcare's cleaning standards. In regards to the cot/changing table, most of our holiday homes are not set up with a cot, however should you need one for your stay, let us know when booking and we can see if one can be arranged for you. Great to hear you otherwise enjoyed the property :) We hope to see you back again soon! Cheers, Jessie

Weekend Wonder.

Amazing! Such comfort, space, location, cleanliness, kitchen facilities, etc, etc. So impressed with the lift, bathroom floor heating and the laundry facilities, these were awesome. Actually, everything was excellent! We are now looking for every excuse to book again! We will spread the word! This is the place to stay for a group booking. PS: We did miss towels for the guests! We had to go and buy towels!

When you hire a bach or a furnished property, you don't carry your daily use items e.g. shampoo, body wash and moisturiser. We had to rush to supermarket the very next morning because these were missing at the property. I recommend that the daily use items should be present for the convenience of the guests. Thanks.

Hi Manoj, thanks for your feedback. While this isn't commonly an expected thing among our guests, we appreciate your comments and I've passed them onto the team. Hope you had a wonderful stay regardless of the dash to the shops! Cheers, Phoebe
