This property is an old beach shack. The only bedroom is very small with a double bed. There are 2 single beds, one in the lounge room and the other open to the dining room. There is no TV and limited cooking facilities/equipment.

Great location

Great place which would benefit from some upgrades such as blinds - which either don’t work or do not block out sun and need a workable fry pan - it had no handle. Other non stick pans had pcb coating and should be tossed.

For the price paid we were very surprised at how dated and tired the property is. As the description honestly says it is an old style bach but the smell of mold when you walk in and the standard of bathroom, walls and kitchen is not what you'd expect. The exterior is also tired and dated. The double bed is small and the mattress is old but the bed linen is nice. The accommodation guide that was left out references a tv and dishwasher but there is none. There was plenty of plates and glasses etc. If the price was lower then absolutely fine but with what else is avaliable I would say either a reno with a new bed and lick of paint or a price drop is needed.

Summer Holiday

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a lovely stay in Oakura. We got a 'old school bach' in a great location. The bach was generally as expected but unfortunately has been very poorly maintained. Birds nesting in the wall and a major damp/mouldy smell. Fortunately we could keep the windows open as lovely and sunny. The mattress on the double bed was sadly terrible.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House in a great location, living area ideal, Kitchen average (would be better with a dishwasher!), bedroom setups average but as expected. Leaky outdoor shower at the front was a nuisance. Would definitely recommend the location with great sea views. Oakura is a very well equipped seaside retreat with an awesome surf beach and only 15min to New Plymouth. Loved Holy Moly Guacamole!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an awesome time in Oakura, made even better by the sunshine. Basic accommodation but spacious living area and just a few steps to the sand. Main bed not very comfortable and could do with an upgrade but otherwise all good 😊
