About this property

Perfect old world bach

This two bedroom cottage is a short stroll (approx 4 minutes) to Riversdale Beach, which is patrolled during the summer. The cottage is situated between the 9 hole golf course, which welcomes visitors, and the local store where you can get coffee and takeaways.
An additional bonus for readers is the fact that you will be dining on Denis Glover's kitchen table. There are two lovely decks front and back of the property to make the most of morning and afternoon sun. In the morning the sun streams in for a sunny breakfast on the deck.
Real privacy around the back of the section with ample room for kids to run around on the grass lawn, or to laze under the fruit trees.
Great walking, golfing, swimming, boating, fishing, diving, lazing around break away to be had.
Special conditions:
2 nights minimum rental.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: clean the house and leave the cottage presentable for the next guests. You need to bring your own linen. (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Great little bach
Loved our stay at the bach it was exactly as described and great value for money only comment would be that we had to clean the shower when we arrived before we could use it but other than that everything was great and kelvin was very communicative and helpful

Cosy little bach
Windmill Cottage was a cute and cosy bach with old-school charm. It was in a great location and had everything we needed. There was a selection of books, games and DVDs to keep everyone occupied, and the fireplace made it lovely and warm. However, it could really do with a deep clean. While the bathroom, floors etc. were fine, it was dusty and had lots of cobwebs. I don't expect hotel standards of cleanliness in baches but it is in need of more than a quick once-over. A couple of other points - there was no smoke alarm anywhere in the bach, and the cord on the oil heater in the main bedroom had exposed wires. The bunk beds really just need to be replaced - they're done their dash, and were very creaky and unstable, to the point where our boys didn't use them as they made too much noise. Other than those minor grumbles, we had a great stay and enjoyed the bach and its amenities.
