About this property

Matai Cottage - Pakawau Bach

Idyllic waterfront views as the sun comes up with your morning cup of coffee in hand - Does that sound like something you need this trip? Look no further than this simple Pakawau Bach. Welcome to Matai Cottage!

Tucked away amongst the surrounding native bush and right at the edge of the waters of Golden Bay, Matai Cottage is host to a picturesque backdrop ideal for a holiday away from the hustle and bustle. The living room, dining room and master bedroom all open out to the views, the sundeck and then down onto the waterfront lawn area.

Sleeping up to 6 guests, Matai Cottage is a great place to settle into with your family or group offering all the essentials including a BBQ for those classic kiwi summer dinners fresh off the grill and private access down to the water.

Take some time out to get away from it all or use this as a base to do some local exploring. Matai Cottage is positioned on Farewell Spit, which offers wonderful walks from the cliffs to Wharariki Beach and the walks in Kaharangi National Park.

A delightful Golden Bay escape awaits at Matai Cottage!
As the property has unfenced access to the beach, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.Please note the sofa bed is located in the lounge.Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Enttäuschung
Die Bilder auf der Homepage sehen super einladend aus. Wir haben uns darauf gefreut, auf unserer Reise auch einmal etwas länger an einem schönen Ort zu verweilen. Als wir jedoch angekommen sind, haben wir ein Haus angetroffen, welches nicht mehr gepflegt wird. Mit Ausnahme der Küche und dem Bett, war es teils klebrig staubig und es hatte überall Spinnweben. Es schien auch, dass das Häuschen Monate nicht mehr bewohnt war. Offensichtlich hat man kurz vor unserer Ankunft die Küche oberflächlich geputzt und das Bett frisch angezogen. Das Haus, der Balkon und der Garten scheinen verwahrlost. So etwas haben wir in Neuseeland bis jetzt nie angetroffen. Wir entschlossen uns, die 4 Tage erst gar nicht anzutreten. Wir nahmen sofort mit Bookabach Kontakt auf. Wir wollen diese Situation zu diesem Preis nicht akzeptieren. Sie konnten uns gleichentags nicht helfen und wir mussten allein für eine neue Unterkunft sorgen. Es hätte umgehend jemand vorbeikommen müssen, um die Situation zu klären, was nicht geschah. Wir haben uns entschieden, nicht zu bleiben, weil wir uns in unseren Ferien wohl fühlen wollen. Wir haben der Bewertung (8.6 excellent) vertraut. Nun sind wir in Verhandlung mit Bookabach, dass sie uns das im Vertrauen im Voraus bezahlte Geld zurückzahlen. Der Kundendienst zeigte bei den vielen Telefongesprächen zwar immer Verständnis, aber war letztlich nicht wirklich hilfsbereit. Es ist für uns eine grosse Enttäuschung. Wir hoffen auf Fairness.
