Fabulous location and classic old school Bach with everything for a great break

Absolutely magic spot on Oakura beach - the perfect original kiwi Bach. Our family enjoyed a glorious break here. Great accomodation and hard to beat the setting. Many hours spent by the kids on the beach just steps from the property and many hours spent by us watching the waves and sunset. We will definitely be back!

Great location. Loved the view of the beach and the sea. An older property with a modern kitchen and bathroom. Unfortunately the Taranaki weather was miserable so we didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor space and the beach as much as we would have liked to.Great, responsive, helpful communication from Noeleen.We needed to use the fold out sofa as a bed. This doesn’t appear to have been used for some time and it needed a good clean and spray for spiders.

Relaxing Getaway

Great beach access, close to local shops, stunning view and front deck to look over the beach. The solar lights that were working on the pathway down to the house were helpful. The one by the stairs isn't working. Special thank you for turning the heat on. It was amazing to arrive to a cozy and warm house after being stuck on the side of the road for 4 hours due to a road closure on SH3. We really loved our stay. Thank you.

Loved our stay!

Absolutely amazing stay. True bach feel right on the beach front. The home had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The beds and bedding was super comfy we all slept very well - even the kids. Kitchen is well stocked (loved having a dishwasher and a great fridge with the water dispenser). It was nice having such a spacious shower! Was beautiful having cooked dinner on the Webber bbq whilst on the outside deck over looking the beach. Having lino flooring throughout was great especially with kids and sand - super easy to clean up. Outside shower also handy. If your looking for somewhere comfortable and relaxing we highly recommend. We are already planning to book again.

Beach bach

Beautiful location. Bach living with mod cons. Beds very comfortable. Path to house abit steep and uneven and some shrubbery need cutting back from path. Great having a path to the beach, that also needed cutting back. The neighbour let us use theirs. Very friendly. Abit awkward getting into the toilet having to stand against the wall to close the door but nice and clean and great flush 😁. Great outdoor entertainment area. Nice to just sit back and relax. Bonus having aircon. Enjoyed my stay. Xx🙂

Short stay

We appreciated the warm comfortable stay. The views of the ocean were amazing. I think we just needed the information about getting into the place as soon as the payment was accepted. But we manage to find the key when we searched around the outside. Also the bathroom is lovely but shower would not get warm and stay war. It was cold then tepid then cold again. I couldn't contact the owners directly. However I'm sure it would be a lovely place when these are dealt with. I would go there again.

There was an email sent prior to arrival explaining the address and lockbox code and my contact details.and I am not sure how you would enter property without code and key. I also phoned prior to arrival to let you know details and we spoke when you were there and everything was lovely. I have checked shower and it is running fine and had no previous concerns. Please also check your phone log history as I tried several times to contact you in regard to booking arrangements as I had no correspondence from you. Thanks and happy to discuss

True bach experience

Had everything you’d want in a bach. Terrific view of the beach. Fell asleep to the sound of the waves. Noeleen was always on hand to answer questions. Couldn’t ask for much else. Had to sneak in a morning swim before leaving. Thanks a heap for having us.

A perfect spot!

A quintessential New Zealand bach right on the beach with uninterrupted views. This was the perfect spot to catch up with a friend, walk along the beach, enjoy the local eateries, meet the locals and explore Taranaki. Communication with the host was easy and they couldn’t have been any more helpful and the property was exactly as described. I will certainly be back for another visit

Average accommodation

Not suitable for older people.No car access and a very narrow and relatively steep path down to the house.Bathroom and toilet area leaves a lot to be desired.Experienced some solid rain and the spoutings were overflowing with bird nesting material present.Tiny bedrooms with no safety catches on the windows so you couldnt leave windows open unless present during daylight.
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021
Response from VrboOwner on 8 August 2023
The rain was extremely heavy down pours during your stay and even the streets were flooding so the guttering would not be able to cope. The front guttering was only replaced in the last 12 months. This would also make the pathway down to the bach requiring taking care. It is a bach as stated in the writing on the website. The bedrooms are not large, or the bathroom/toilet area. The bach kitchen has been renovated and new furniture which makes it all very comfortable. It is exceptionally clean, very good linen and the views and deck are fantastic. We have elderly guests regularly in their 80's that have experienced no issues and love the spot. I am sorry you have these comments and 99% have wonderful comments and many return.
