Awesome house

Excellent location, beautiful home for families going on holiday. What ruined our stay was checking in cause the key was stuck in the stud and we were there till 3am in the morning. My other problem was shower & toilets 😫 we weren’t informed from the owner that we had to reset the pump every time when theres no pressure in the shower. Luckily i had a friend that stayed 3 houses down and we walked there every time for showers. We had an awesome time at cooks beach and loved the place that we stayed in beside the caios with water etc

Thanks for your comments. We are glad you enjoyed your time at Cooks Beach. We are sorry to hear about your issues in accessing the key lock. We have since removed the key chain that caused the key to get stuck in the position it did to avoid this happening again. We note that the pump needed to be reset. Unfortunately, very rarely there are things that occur in any property that are unexpected. There was no known issue with the pump prior to your stay. Thank you for being able to push the reset button on the pump.

The house is well located in a really nice beach area. We spent most of the days out but the house had everything we need during our stay. Surely we would go back.

Perfect homely batch

We had an amazing stay at this house, we spent 3 nights for our daughters 3rd birthday, with grandma aswell, there was more than enough room for all of us, our wee girl spent her first night in a bed but there was a portacot on hand if we needed it. Well equipped kitchen. Fully fenced safe property. Angela was awesome to deal with, answered all my questions, check in was easy, check out was great having someone check us out to know we had done everything expected of us. My favorite bach iv stayed in to date! Great location! Would love to return one day! Thank you Angela for sharing your wonderful bach with us!!!

Rainy day stay

Exactly as advertised, worked great for us. Owners offered us another night as we were flooded in, which was very nice, however we did not not required this. Big thanks for thinking of us though.

Great location

The Bach is in a perfect location. 2 minutes walk to the beach, local shops opposite and a short drive to the ferry crossing, Hot Water beach and Cathedral cove. I just felt that although our stay was comfortable, the property would benefit from some TLC. The DVD didn't work, the toilet door handle fell off several times and I'm not sure how thoroughly it is cleaned as I found some shorts in the bedroom from a previous occupant.

Thank you for your comments and raising the toilet door maintenance, which we were not aware of. This will be replaced this week. Our bach is checked and if necessary, cleaned by our resident bach manager after each stay. In this case she advised that she left the shorts in the bedroom as she was not sure whether they belonged to us, the owners of the property.

Ideal family home in Cooks Beach

The house was in a great location in Cooks Beach, across from the shops and 2 minutes walk to the beach. It was clean and tidy and Angela was great at dealing with last minute requests like linen, (thank you)! We would definitely come back again!

Great place for a family holiday.

This was a lovely property and had everything that our family of five needed or could want in a holiday home. It was tidy, homely and very spacious. Fantastic location with a quick short walk to the beach and shops just a few hundred meters away. We would stay here again.
