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.

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.

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

Great spot

We’re a family of 4 and Stayed 2 nights here at Tata Treat. It is a magic spot. Would be a little small for 4 if the weather was no good, but when the sun is out no problems.

Location was amazing

The location was great but it wasn’t as secluded as originally thought . The heating was poor and the fridge froze all of our food 😂. Over all the room had everything we needed so can’t complain with the beautiful views.

Location fabulous - would have been great if windows were clean. Initially no toilet paper - but found it in a cupboard. Minimal washing up liquid and soap for the stay. Wonderful spot but crowded space - could be so much more.

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 !

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!!!

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.

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.

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 best thing is the location because you really are right on the beach; it's just a few steps away

The best thing is the location because you really are right on the beach; it's just a few steps away. The bach itself is basic but cosy and comfortable, which is all you need really.
