A great place to go to relax and unwind. The house had everything we needed and was really warm even though it was a cold weekend. Well set up and great communication from the owners.
We had a wonderful stay. Modern kitchen and bathrooms, comfortable beds and a nice flat section for playing on outside next to the deck. Friendly hosts and great communication. We would return :)
Our family of five had a wonderful stay in this clean, modern, and well equipped house. It is warm, very quiet, and close enough for walk to the shop and beach. The view out the back makes you think you are on a farm. Thank you for our stay. Very much appreciated.
We loved the location, space and well equipped kitchen. It was reasonably clean and tidy. We were a little disappointed at how long the lawns were, and the lack of/falling apart lounge curtains. We also found the bbq to be in need of a clean, but given it wasn't bbq season we figured it hadn't had its annual spruce up.
We felt it was a little overpriced given you have to supply your own linen and clean on exit (which I brought my own cleaning equipment so didnt look to see what was on offer). Other than that we enjoyed our stay. It has a great view, lovely space on the deck and yard for kids to play. We thoroughly enjoyed it and were fortunate to have great weather.
Wife and I stayed for our 1 year wedding anniversary, and what a great place to tune out from everyday life. We played some board games, cooked BBQ during sunset on a balmy evening and couldn't believe our eyes at the view of the ocean, Would highly recommend, what a great spot, we now want a section up there! =)
We had a lovely stay here, the bach was immaculate when we arrived. I think you need to state really clearly that you need to do a big clean at the end as most baches now come with a cleaning fee (we would have paid anything for this!)
The kids loved the big grassy area to play cricket on!
Nicely presented house. Most of the amenties that you could want in a holiday bach. Some improvements would move this from OK to Excellent. Eg. A fenced area for the dogs, Blinds on ALL windows - felt exposed at night in the living area, Check on cleaning - there was mould in the fridge drawers and the dishwasher stunk. The pillows and duvets were stained and past their use-by date. A washing machine and a clothesline would be handy for longer stays. Beds were comfy. Great selection of games for evening entertainment. Loved the retro looking Espresso maker.Price of stay was higher than we expected compared to similar properties we have stayed in that provided full cleaning service and rubbish removal.
Les points faibles : Communication et exactitude de lâannonce
Missing basics
The property was OK, but no shelter for the weather you can expect on top of a hill.
The add should have mentioned.... Bring your own barbeque, TV, microwave and washing machine. The scullery taps not connected is a bit mean. If I had a few people or children there I would be a bit more direct. Hope they sort something out if they want to continue.
Very much your kiwi-style bach with most basic necessities available. Unfortunately it wasnât as clean as we would have liked so needed to clean on arrival, in addition to when we left. Missing a few items that would enhance the stay such as bin liners, paper towels, body wash in the showers. The light grey chairs in the living area were so stained with dirt/grime that we didnât want to sit on them, but made do with the vinyl chairs that were there. Would prefer to pay a cleaning fee to know that it has been thoroughly cleaned and to save time on check out. Otherwise it was a lovely location with a great outlook and easy to follow check in/check out instructions.
We really loved our stay there were a few things that we thought it was important as we are older people we found the lock box in a strange place we all wondered why it wasnr by a door and we had to crouch to get to it.Also the water had been turned off and the infinity box was also turned off there is no imformation booklet so I had to go over to the wonderful neighbour Simon to help us numerous times it was raining so not great.Also only two rolls of toilet rolls for two days....The other thing was the gas was low so we were worried about hunning out of hot water Not ideal.I know it sounds like alot of moaning but it was cold and I really think a imformation book and contact number would be great.We really loved the house and the location
A breath of fresh air away from Hawkes Bay cyclone chaos
After a third attempt at a trip to the Abel Tasman we had to postpone again, and with Cyclone Gabriel taking it out of us with huge hours helping Civil Defence it was time for a little break as we were lucky enough to get away from it all breifly. All roads were washed away North and West of Hawkes Bay, so south it was and we were very lucky to find this holiday home in Riversdale.
Perfectly positioned with great views of the ocean and farmland that we are so used to.
This modern property was so homely as soon as we pulled up and entered. A very easy stay with all the bits and bobs and a dog allowance which just makes life so easy.
The kids loved biking down the hill to the village, scootering, playing cricket on the culdesac and the numerous boardgames provided and books from the swapper library by the golf course. The beach was angry, but the days beautiful and walks along the beach and a paddle were great to clear the head.
Thank you very much for allowing our little refresher!
Now back to the action!!
