Great Place: booking experience not good

We had a very memorable stay at this beautiful house - well set up right on a lovely Waiheke bay. The only flaw was booking through Bookabach which incurred and extra booking fee.

Wonderful weekend

We had a wonderful weekend for my husband’s birthday, staying at this gorgeous beachfront bach. Unfortunately the weather was wild and windy, so no kayaking or fishing, but we still had an excellent time, especially as we could bring our puppies. Bach was very clean, comfortable beds and lovely large private beach and grounds. Would definitely rent again- hopefully when the sun is shining! Thank you again for a lovely stay.

We would like to book from December 23-29th 2023

We would probably book through year. On the downside there were no life jackets for the kayaks. Toilets dirty. Bathroom shower had long black hairs. Pizza, cups. glasses, bottle tops left round the property. On the upside wonderful to have our family dogs and good kitchen appliances to work with.

A very special property in a beautiful location.

A few little details like the TV sound system not working and whilst this was fixed on the night of arrival the contractors (albeit nice people) arrived at 9pm at night. Toaster and icemaker in fridge not working and microwave a little worse for wear. Minor details however for the price per night it would be worth sorting these things before guests arrive.

Fantastic, idyllic retreat.

We had a great time in this awesome home which was warm and cosy against the rainy weather with it's 2 fire places and well stocked amenities including the coffee machine and heaters and choice of sun porches. The ample kitchen can feed a hungry bunch and the private beach feels like heaven. Awesome stay. Will be back. Our dog, loved it!

Perfect place for a family break

We had a wonderful stay here! There was plenty of space and things to do for everyone. The house was well equipped with everything you would need. The hosts were great and happily dropped off extra linen due to my error when booking. We will be back!

Just perfect

We had a great couple of nights stay here, was just what we needed. Chilling out on the veranda with our Westie, walking the beach and a wine or two in front of the fire at night. Great communication throughout and very accommodating, we'll be back, we have found a new favorite!

This is our second stay and we're booked again in January

This is our second stay and we're booked again in January. Its a special house, makes you feel relaxed immediately and the grounds and private beach are brilliant, especially for our dogs who are fascinated if a little freaked by the many rabbits around! Not as luxurious as some holiday homes and outdoor furniture (cushions) may need a spring clean, but still my favourite home from home. Kayaks are a plus as well - can't wait to return.

Amazing old Bach, very cool location.

Amazing old Bach, very cool location. Stunning beach walks. Beware of the unfriendly groundskeeper up on the hill, don't stray too far from the property! Also we got charged part of our bond for cleaning of excessive dog hair, although property rental states ok to have pets. Don't even think of building a fire on the beach, you'll get a call asking you not to. It's the rules. Read the rules! Good internet coverage in the house. Heaters in each room. A great summer or winter getaway.

From the moment of arrival you know that you are in a special place. Stunning house and surrounds and everything is geared towards your comfort. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of good toiletries. We had a perfect relaxed weekend and it wouldn’t have been the same without our 2 dogs, so thank you for being dog friendly. We will definitely return as we left a piece of our hearts at Oakura Bay Villa.
