Special Memories

This as a perfect place to enjoy the company of friends. It’s well set up for those who love to cook and share time with friends and family. Wonderful views and great for doing day walks in the Abel Tasman area.

A Beautiful Home with Magnificent Views

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights at this awesome home. There were 10-12 of us over both nights and not once did it feel overcrowded. It has the most spectacular views and the home was nice & clean and well equipped. Thanks very much 😊

Excellent short break

The property is in very good condition with fabulous views over Kaiterteri. Several visitations from native wood pigeons and tuis added to the feeling of being above it all and close to the bush. Slightly odd layout of not internal corridors to connect the rooms but very easy to get used to and meant each bedroom had a huge amount of privacy. Fab bunk room for kids with a movable door to turn the bunk room inot two seperate sleeping spaces meant flexibility when the younger children had different bedtimes to older children. Would definitely come back.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location
Host experience was nothing short of awful . I messaged the host ‘ore than a day before our arrival when I hadn’t received instructions for check in. I sent a message through the app and left two voicemails. I got zero response. With no exact address we drove to the street our house was on and drove the neighborhood for an hour trying to find it based on photos. With the help of a neighbor we found the house but of course had no lock box code for the key. We noted a sign on the property for BachCare a local NZ rental company and called their Auckland office. Finally we got someone who gave us the key code. This was the WORST checkin experience ever.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re really sorry you weren’t able to reach us when you tried calling and messaging. That must have been incredibly frustrating, especially when you were trying to check in. Upon looking into your booking, I can see we did send the check‑in email on three separate occasions to the address provided, including twice in the week leading up to your arrival. So it’s possible the messages may have gone to spam or there was an issue with how they were received. Even so, we understand how frustrating it must have been not to have the details when you needed them. We’re glad you were eventually able to get into the property with the help of the local team, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can improve the experience for future guests. Kind regards, Ricky Bachcare Support Team

This is a great kiwi bach and awesome for summer holidays in the Nelson region.

This is a great kiwi bach and awesome for summer holidays in the Nelson region. It's a little strange having no hallway and entering the bedrooms from the outside, but it is a Bach after all!!

Beautiful view, is perfect for summer.

Beautiful view, is perfect for summer. Is set up a bit different then other houses which made it interesting, but unless you are in the master bedroom you have have to go outside to get to the bathroom which might not be ideal in the winter ! Lovely house overall

6/10 Okay

The location was good, above Kaiteriteri, but the house was strange.

The location was good, above Kaiteriteri, but the house was strange. The main room with kitchen/dining/living room was small but nice, but completely separated from each of the rooms. Each bedroom and the main bathroom was a completely separate room that you have to go out onto the back porch to enter through a locked door. Strange house, but great views. Clean and comfortable and probably a great place in the warm summer months when all the doors are open and the hot tub is running.
