Double standards

Overall the properties location was spot on. The rules of the house were extensive but not welcoming. Our family is very clean and the upstairs presented well however the downstairs area was not up to our expectations.

Extra cleaning expected of guests at this property

Nice views of the lake, but we were taken by surprise by the additional cleaning requirements for this property. I understand that standard Kiwi bach tradition is that guests are expected to wash dishes, take care of the trash and generally clean up after themselves, but at this property you should be aware that you also will be expected to clean the toilets and vacuum the floors. We were not made aware of that requirement in advance..

Fishing trip

The property was excellent for our trip, the view from the house was amazing, the location in Moana perfect for our needs. The property had everything we needed plus a pantry of condiments. The beds were comfortable and the showers great. Four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets suited our group of 4 older men very well. The place was very private and quiet with good space for parking. We enjoyed our stay.

Clenliness issue

the property is amazing & offers fantastic views of the lake, however, somewhat overshadowed with the lack of cleaning inside the house. we encountered mouldy beds, dead insects & dusty window shelves cobwebs in nearly all areas of the home.we would stay there again but would request a deep clean.

Fantastic

Great property in a great location. Fun to have froze all machine. Downstairs bedrooms are cold but his TV has dehumidifiers and panel heaters which quickly make it nice and cosy. Fire for upstairs. Check instructions come at 2pm not prior so don’t worry if you don’t have them first thing in the morning.

Family get-together on the Coast

Very good impression overall - good indoor and outdoor space and had everything we needed in the kitchen - except a dishwasher!). Would have been nice to have option of linen supplied and would have happily paid for that service. Thank you - we enjoyed out stay very much and would return.

Great Location

We had a large group of ten (4 adults and 6 kids Uber 7) and stayed one night. The view and location of the house was excellent. It's a bit cluttered with personal items stashed about in the house but not all in the way. In all just right for one night.

Perfect Location.for our Familys.Early Xmas Day Lunch

With My Father currently living at Dixon House, and my Daughter living in Chch,.my Son and his Partner were travelling to Methven for Xmas, I live in Blackball. Your Bach gave us the ideal place.to gather together, for a family Xmas Lunch,, my Son was able to Bring Grandad out form the Day, then head away, with my Daughter staying the night with me, and taking Grandad home.... Such a perfect place. Hopefully one day we can rebook and actually all stay at your Bach... As it was it worked out great as midpoint.... Thankyou for providing such a well set out Holiday Home.
