Nice spot
Property was clean and tidy. The final price per night we felt was too high with cleaning fee and Book a Bach charges on top. Nightly price on website a bit deceiving for price paid in the end. I won't use Book a Bach again

The house is in an excellent location, it is quiet but the bathroom was not clean, it smelled of urine, there were only 2 toilet paper and our stay was 7 days and we were 4 people, we also had to bring our towels, the vacuum cleaner was full of trash and did not vacuum well.

Yes the host was welcoming, but the following are the key issues we were disappointed with:Washing machine didn’t work.Shower rose, alright for smaller people.Accomodation not suitable for anymore other than one couple. Only one queen bed and five singles of various heights.Lounge area, small… we had to carry extra seating ourselves up from the garage.Had to rearrange some tables for practicality.Generally speaking, the photos on the website did not indicate the actual proximity of the other houses around us.. No privacy outside at all.The house is very small with one toilet.Not well considered, not well appointed.We were disappointed overall.

Good location for fishing trip
Pros: - The check in was a breeze. Angele messaged through the app the contactless check in. Wifi pw. - Angela communicated through the app and text message and replies straight away to our questions and even recommended good places to have food. - Have a big space for us to stay, invited friends to come over for dinner and the kids played in the lawns. - Location was very good as it was just a few minutes from the wharf, what we needed for our fishing trip. The view from the house is also beautiful. - Well stocked kitchen with the basic things you need, good storage and plastic bags, apper plates were available too. -Dedicated filleting and fishing stationCons- We didn't have wifi connection at all. It was playing up, had to reset it as per instructions by Angela but still didn't work. I had to use my data and paid more since I have to work a couple of hours. - You have to take our own linens and towel. - The rooms could have been cleaned better, obvious cobwebs, and dusty tables. Not good for people with allergies to these.

Lovely weekend stay
We had a weekend away fishing coromandel with the family. Plenty of room for the boat, with filleting and wash down facilities. House was as pictured, original interior, but clean, tidy and serviceable. No wifi and limited cell reception for the teenagers. Two minute drive to the boat ramp, and great views out over the coromandel harbour. Very quiet location, with fabulous native bird life. Host was fantastic to deal with, friendly, responsive and welcoming, All in all we had a lovely weekend.
