Awesome Bach to stay in - has everything you need you need and even better we can take our beloved pooch with us. Being able to stroll down to the beach is amazing and really love the big back yard for kids and pets to play in. We’ll be back for sure 😃

We had a lovely stay in this lovely NZ bach. It had everything we needed for out vacation, but was kept in a really kiwi style. We opted for hiring linen and getting it cleaned afterwards, so it made it a very relaxing holiday. Thanku

We had a great time. Matapouri is an awesome place. Batch was a bit tight for 6 adults- teenagers, but still enjoyed it. Very close to beach and big garden for doggies to run around.

While the house was a simple character kiwi bach as expected and we enjoyed our stay, it was really disappointing when I received a $145 receipt for linen after having paid the advertised price. Be careful of dishonest hidden fees, I was told this fee was “mandatory for health and safety reasons” which obviously makes no sense, and I got no response when I asked for an explanation. Would not use bookabach again.

Our family of four (two small kids inc one baby) stayed here for three nights very happily. The house was very clean and well equipped and we really enjoyed its retro aesthetic - made it feel like a proper 'bach holiday'. Also more spacious than I thought it would be - plenty of room for the four of us. The big backyard was great for the toddler to run around. 5 minute walk to the beach and lovely walk to Whale Bay were highlights too.

Expensive for very basic bach but appreciated that we could take our dog, so I think you pay a premium as not many Bach’s will take pets. Clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a great stay at a beautiful beach.

Well equipped, comfortable with lots of spaces to spread out in. Few minutes to terrific beach, and to super beach store with everything. Lots of flat space to park the toys. We'd love to come back.

We had a great time. Nice social balcony area. Shower head was a little amusing but it was a truly retro blast from the past.

A great location a few minutes walk to the beach. The Bach is immaculate and clean with everything you should need. Communication with the property manager Sally was easy and she always got back to us promptly with responses to emails. Would definitely stay again!😀

It was nice to stay away at our favourite beach for a few days, the booking process was easy to follow (although I missed reading the fine print until after booking), the property is in a great location, clean and tidy, and has all the amenities required to walk right into a 'home setting', just bring yourself and some food. Would be very happy to come back over the summer holidays if available.

Great location, however not good if you have children allergic to bee stings, as if the lawns haven't been mowed they are all over it! House is well equipped, a simple old bach.

6/10

It was a shame the the lawns were long and therefore covered in clover and bees so the kids couldn’t use them.

Lovely Kiwi bach in a great location. Easy walk to the beach, and to the dairy for ice cream afterwards. The Bach was very clean on our arrival and well equipped, with a big flat section for ball games. We would stay again ??

Excellent location. The kiwi Bach theme took us back to childhood memories. The property is well maintained and well equipped. We appreciated being able to have our dogs stay too. Matapouri beach is one of the best in NZ. We will return. Thank You Sally, we will encourage others to use your service.
