Beach front house

Wasn’t to bad, very pricey for what you get. Having a pump added to water system to get a better shower would be nice, also having wifi is a must these days considering the price that was charged. Better cooking facilities wouldn’t go a miss either on those windy days & chilly nights View was amazing tho

Somewhat disappointing to receive this review as it is a spectacular spot right on the beach. However, It is a bach, does have mobile coverage although no wifi, small electric stove and other cooking amenities , excellent bbq, there is a pump for the water at the back of the property. Rates and insurance costs are astronomical for this property due to its proximity to the beach.

I wasn't expecting the Ritz... But

Objectively, if this were a hotel/motel it would have a 1-star rating. Although it's had some new carpet, overall it is very tired with horrible lighting, dated everthing and not what I would consider a comfortable place to kick your feet up for a week (especially for the cost). I found a cockroach in the cutlery draw and we could hear vermin scuttling around in the ceiling at night. The rates are about double what they should be. I'm perplexed this property had an 8/10 rating when I booked. Disappointing and feeling ripped off. Doubt I'll use bookabach again.

Tata Treat is a small bach right on the golden beach. Obviously this person did not like the style of my place unlike most others… it’s impossible to cater to all tastes. Of course I am checking for mice in the ceiling but this has never been noted before. This property is well explained on line… if you want to be close to the golden beach you can’t beat it.

Location is perfect, inside is very tough

I come from an area where camps on the water are common so mildew is always something you battle. Unfortunately, this property although it could be amazing has been let go. For the money paid, and it was substantial, I would not recommend it. In fact if you have kids or any respiratory issues I would absolutely look elsewhere. I had a sore throat every morning due to the mildew within the property but as I left the house it got better and my first night elsewhere I was perfectly fine. The location is unmatched I agree on that, but a dehumidifier and getting rid of rugs, old furniture, drapes, and maybe even going to the studs is absolutely needed to save this little place. We couldn't even use the silverware because of the mildew smell on it, never knew that could even happen. Location - 5 starsMildew issues- 1 star as it was very very difficult to breath in for more than 10 minutes.Parking and finding the location was also not easy but we did arrive late so I don't blame the owner as they did have a caretaker that would have met us I believe.

Location - great. Property = tired & not up to Bookabach standard

Aside from the location which is top class - property was totally substandard - this property was not up to the standard of my then tired student flat of over 50 years ago eg. stained old carpets, inadequate power points - cables all over the place, shower held held on with tape, appliances third world standard, cluttered - storage in open racks in the rooms We could go on !

This is a very biased view and most unfortunate, the e tea bedding is usually stored on top shelves for if the futon sofa bed or single fold away bed is used. This is a little crib not an luxury apartment .. the mention of cables is just the one run under the bed to use the electric blanket if necessary. The carpets are cleaned at the end of the summer as guests often seem to have spillages and as this little place is so often in demand there is not time to get the carpet dry after a professional machine clean in between guests. However it is always cleaned

This is the first time this has happened and it is regretted. However all guests are asked to let the property person know when they expect to arrive ... usually at this busy summer time of the year guests cannot take up residence until after 3.00pm.

Always Perfect

We've stayed in this gloriously located beachside unit for many years and its appeal lies in its absolute beachfront position. Whilst its appointments may be seen as modest it does offer so much more than mere fixtures and fittings! It offers the sounds and smells of the sea, the beautiful views across the bay to the Tata Islands and, love it or hate it, very good cellphone coverage.

IT IS WHAT IT IS!

The descrip;tion of the property is accurate - it is a fairly run-down, shabby, ex motel unit right on the beach. However, it is very well equipped except no hair dryer and would recommend either owner or renters provide an umbrella for the beach as the property provides everything else. I would certainly consider staying again IF the place was better presented - carpet v stained, curtains need replacing, the outside chairs/table and patio area could do with a water blasting, and windows cleaned. The big selling point is the location!!!

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Feb 2021
Meant to add The curtains in the bedroom make the room nice snd dark when drawn so sometimes guests don’t wake up until 11.00 am much to their surprise but that is why they are still there. Unfortunately guests often leave stains on the carpet which requires carpet cleaners and this is undertaken at the beginning and end of summer. It is always well cleaned otherwise. Used to have hair dryer but it disappeared so hope stayers bring their own and beach umbrella, same with this after being broken by guests. The windows need daily cleaning due to surf spray etc so if guests are staying there longer they will get a little dusty. The cleaners always clean the windows at the end of each stay. The outside area and patio chairs table are surface swept and cleaned after each stay with special clean at the end of the summer again.

Just what we ordered

Absolutely as advertised this wee place was great. We read the reviews beforehand so knew modest was it. Perfect for us all we wanted was a beachfront place to paddle board from. But we got more...well stocked place, all you could do want and super clean. Would have been a bit different if other units next to us were busy as privacy not so great but as it was had whole place to ourselves. Good value.

Weekend away

Perfect place to go for a quiet weekend getaway. Amazing location and view of the sea. Unit itself could have been a little cleaner with regard to cobwebs and mould. Overall though, its a great place to stay.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Dec 2020
A web must have just appeared as the cleaning woman advised she had checked for webs when she refreshed the property just before Bill’s arrival! Also there are a few mould stains at the base of the curtains on the exterior side. These stains don’t come out in the wash and unfortunately are hard to avoid with condensation on the windows in the cold months. The curtains will be replaced next year.

Brilliant location

Location made this a great place to stay - in a basic Bach cottage attached to others right on beach front. Would highly recommend for safety reasons that the hot water is adjusted to safe level as it is scalding out of the tap - potetntially unsafe especially for children.

The reason the water is very hot out of the hot water tap us because the cylinder is not a big one and so there is plenty of water available for dishes and showers etc. however we will arrange for it to be turned down so it is not so hot.
