Great location, great facilities. Really enjoyed our stay
Great location- we were visiting family who lived just around the corner, close to beach and shops for convenience. was a comfortable Bach perfect for our needs. no real issues with our stay or the property, was a good price for a stay in the school holidays and area.
Netflix was included but after the 2nd night it didn't work. no other options were available tv/sky etc so evenings watching a movie was a little difficult. only one vehicle being allowed down the driveway was tricky with the traffic on the main road.
Quiet and comfortable.
Having to reverse in or out of property (no way to safely turn around).
I liked the message prior to arrival
Busy road
What an absolute beautiful little place to stay. Cosy, quaint, and everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Highly recommended and will definitely stay again.
Nothing to add here.
Great space and good value for money. Clean and comfy.
No where to turn around so had to back car all the way out driveway. Wasnt a problem but would be good to be aware of this in case your not a good backer.
Chalet is amazing, very neat and tidy and beautifully thought out for the beachside location. Location is great just a few minutes drive to restaurants and other amenities required for a short stay. Host was great, communicated access into the property in a timely manner.
The driveway is extremely narrow, especially with a bigger four-wheel-drive but we still managed to get in and out okay.
Really comfortable beds!
Very central had everything we needed
Another mirror in a bedroom would,have been handy!
Very clean and everything you needed.
The bathroom door was too narrow to get a wheelchair/ support walker through which my friend needed.
3 lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds, a cozy lounge and a nice decor. Nice bathroom and good kitchen.
I wouldn’t say didn’t like, but I would suggest a little table in the bathroom to put your wet pack on whilst using the bathroom. The only place now was the toilet. Also there was a split plank in the deck, which was a bit dangerous.
The location and house structure and interior is very cozy.
Throws and cushions could use a change, looks quite used.
Ce petit chalet est une pépite, près de la plage, avec tout le nécessaire pour y être bien et cuisiner. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.
Ras
La maison est super bien placée, dans un cadre bucolique. Les chambres sont agréable ainsi que le séjour. Mais la terrasse est l’endroit où nous avons passé tout notre temps. J’y reviendrais avec plaisir.
Comfy bed, good location, clear and timely communication from the owner. Easy to find with clear entry instruction.
Not that I didn’t like anything just a heads up for newcomers - the sprinkler may come on while you’re still in bed and the water supply is loud, sounds like it’s the shower running in the next room. The other thing is the drive way is narrow, one way around a corner with no turning bay. Easier to navigate with a reverse camera and tricky for larger vehicles such as utes which would need to stay on the road. Also- bring milk if coffee creamer is not your thing.
Loved the communication from us to owner
Nil
Communication with Owner was great, advised we may be late arriving, and entry to the home was easy Only thing that could have been better was the heat (or lack of) of the water coming through the shower. The water was tepid, so a little cold on these winter mornings, (the other taps were all hot).
Tidy, compfy beds with just enough room. Close to the beach.
Kitchen is adequet but small. Well equipped but no oven.
This property was great for a family night away, the hosts were super responsive and the location was handy! would absolutely stay again.
Charming wee place! Absolutely loved the stay! Wish we had stayed longer! Lovely decor, very warm and inviting and home cozy feeling! Everything was clean and had everything you needed! Great location, just a few mins walk to the beach and they have beach towels, beach toys for little ones and boards to take down to use at the beach! Absolutely loved our stay and hope we can do another trip to stay again sometime!! Communication from hosts was great also! Check in was easy!
Everything was perfect! Nothing to dislike!
The host was great! This was one of the easiest secured accommodation booking we have made. My family and i enjoyed our relaxing time from australia there. Thank you.
Cleaner dishes would have been nice, but i believe it was from the last guests maybe
We did not have breakfast there, the location was perfect. Near the beach and close to the venue of the wedding we were there to attend.
Backing out of the driveway was "interesting ".
The location was super handy being near the beach!
We loved the cosiness of the home. It was so homely and warm. Its tucked away down a driveway but in great proximity to the beach. Tidy, clean and inviting. We will definitely be back :)
Very cute bach. Well appointed. Good location. Quiet, clean.
Nothing
Interesting decor with marine theme. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed provided. Comfortable and the location suited us. We appreciated the off street parking.
One of our group had an issue with the step down from the lounge to the kitchen. Several times he misjudged the step, confused by the carpet edge and the board beyond that, which looked like the kitchen floorboards, causing him to stumble.
Location was excellent A beautifully decorated cottage Very impressed. Wished I had of stayed longer. So close to the beach.
N/A. Everything was perfect.
Beautiful place. We wish we were staying longer. One night wasn’t enough!!
Just a minor thing! We arrived a lot later than expected & would have liked to have a cup of tea. Some places we stayed had a small milk in fridge or UHT carton. Just a suggestion but definitely won’t put us off returning.
Cozy home for the night and great communication from host.
very handy to shops. had everything i needed very comfortable
didn't like step in kitchen trip hazard. had wrong size plug in kitchen sink. skin rug kept moving trip hazard turning room for car a bit small. free view tv would have been nice
The interior was very tastefully put together and suited the beach environment. There was everything in it that you needed to make your stay easy and comfortable. It was also nice and quiet.
The television wifi did not work properly, the sensor light on the garage next door operated all night which was a bit disturbing and there was not charger for the portable speaker. Given the garden is going nuts with springtime, it needs a little tidy up, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying it. We thought it was a very cute property and we really enjoyed staying there.
Cosy clean cottage in great location. Had everything we needed for a short stay. Bed was comfy. Decorated very nicely. Loved all the artwork n prints on the walls.
Shower head wasn't secure and hard to get water on you. Needs adjusting. Minor thing that can be easily fixed.
Very private area. Host was very pleasant and on call if we needed any assistance. Near the beach which is an added bonus. Community shops was nice also. The accomodation: It was lovely 3 bedroom home. I loved the handles on the cupboard doors, it was so cute. The beds are exceptionally comfortable and the rooms spacious. Lovely outdoor lighting. Kitchen has all the necessities you would require. I also loved all the home decor placements around the home. Definitely recommend this accomodation to everyone. Its a gem!
Weta or cockroach on the wall which snuck in the house before us. I dont like creepy crawly things but I wasn't afraid of it - Aussie has bigger ones that fly.
Location is great
Great value, sweetly appointed chalet.
We only stayed one night. It suited us for the short stay. It was nice to come home after a very long day to find that it was warm and cosy.
The late checkin
Bernie was a great guy. The chalet was very peaceful, an relaxing, the environment is very welcoming had a great 3 nights. Thankyou recommended only down side was I stayed in the winter. An it was raining lol be a great spot in the summer. Thanks Bernie
Nothing it's perfect 😉
Lovely, cosy little cottage, beautifully decorated. The owner was really friendly and helpful.
It was lovey, clean, tidy and the beds were very comfortable, close to the beach would definitely stay there again
Very comfy
No coffee Check in too late
Decor was well appointed, had everything we needed...
The sprinklers came on at 11pm both nights waking us up.
Everything
Nothing
It was very clean and cosy
I feel the check in and check out time could be looked into.
Good location and friendly host.
I really think it should be mentioned in the listing that there is a 2nd property on the premises that can also be booked out. We were travelling with 2 young children and prefer to have the entire place to ourselves (including the grounds) so we don't have to worry about disturbing the other guests and can completely relax. We only found out on arrival that other guests were there and in close proximity. I think the hob/cooker needs looking at? We could only get 1 element to work and it kept switching off while cooking.
A cosy little gem by the sea
Bugs at night but can't be helped
Clean spacious quiet
Keyless entry was difficult due to not receiving correct door code email .
great location
Lovely clean and tidy accommodation with everything you need to a very comfortable stay.
Beautiful tiny space so accomodating with plenty space for all but also nice and cosy whānau time. Loved the layout, rooms, facilities etc. everything we needed was there.
Perfect location just down the road from my uncle's, close enough to shops cafes
Nothing to dislike about the property at all... just the weather wasn't the nicest but it can't be helped
A cosy & comfortable cottage & the location was great. It was perfect for our needs for our short stay.
The location was amazing, it was also comfortable.
Not so much of didn't like it was more a personal problem with being a big guy I didn't want to sleep on the beds just in case I broke it so I slept on the couch which was actually amazing to sleep on btw.
This was such a beautiful little house. With everything we needed and more. We loved staying here! Thank you to our hosts.
Nothing, everything was perfect
Nice location (close to beach and some local shops), comfy beds and 3 bedrooms! Beautifully decorated batch. Host was very responsive and super friendly. Even a bike free to use to get around.
N/A
Location was perfect, nice and close to the beach. 3 bedrooms was perfect for the family. The place had everything we needed and was very well presented.
This worked very well for a family with small children. Thanks very much.
3 bedrooms is a good feature but only one air con. Close to the beach
Car park is too small for SUV. Another granny house with other people located in front of the house.
the location and property suited our needs, being meet on arrivals to be shown the keyless entry and facilities was good, very friendly host.
outside solar lights, let a little too much light in at night, but this was a minor concern.
Cute seaside place
Friendly host, nothing was a problem.
The place was amazing! My family of four (2 adults and 2 kids) loved it. It was home away from home. I would definitely recommend this place to any of my friends and family. We cooked breakfast there but ate out for dinner as we were there for my daughter’s first birthday. 10min drive to Papamoa Plaza - has Woolworths and The Warehouse. 15-20mins to Tauranga central. Everything was great!
The driveway was a bit hard to get out from but might depend on experience of driver hahaha it was great - wouldn’t have gone anywhere else.
Good location comfy place feels like home
Good easy location. Property was clean and fresh. I was worried it might be a bit cold but quite the opposite it was lovely and warm
Everything was as expected.
Privacy and clean
Nothing
The chalet is very cosy and has everything you need for the stay. Owner’s fast response and been very helpful during check in time.
This was all about comfort and a warm homely feel. We loved everything.. I found it extremely hard to pick a room to stay in because they were so nicely decorated and each room had its own special little look. Location was perfect..beach access.. op shops and the pap pub was so beautiful for dinner..we loved it. I also loved that the chalet was tucked down the back and I felt very safe and secure. We are definitely going back during the summer for a week this time so we better start saving 😀
The only thing that was tricky is the driveway it's a bit tight if you have a big car. Other than that no complaints.
Lovely chalet in a nice location. Super close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shops. Comfy beds and nice facilities
Only issue I found with this property is that the shower pressure when you try to have a hot shower isn't great.
Great location
Just a suggestion of a mirror in the bedrooms. There were 3 of us ladies who were trying to do their faces using the one mirror in the bathroom. Although we did arrive a bit later than we wanted so had to hurry to get ready. But at least 1 more mirror would be great.
