Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrea G. 23 Nov 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great location, but dirty We had to properly clean the apartment before we were able to use it. The kitchen was sticky, lots of dead bugs, disgusting smell. What a pity - the location and the apartment would be perfect with someone paying more attention to it. ##### Andrea G. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### AA 7 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Disappointing Stay: Cockroaches, Outdated Amenities, and Privacy Concerns Our stay at this property in Kerikeri was disappointing and fell far short of expectations. The house is extremely dated, with a kitchen and bathroom that look like they haven’t been updated since the 1970s. On top of that, the cleanliness was subpar—we encountered two cockroaches during our stay, which was unsettling and completely ruined our experience.Adding to our discomfort, a laundry basket suddenly appeared inside the house after we had been out for the day. This means someone entered the rental without notifying us in advance, which felt like an invasion of our privacy.The steep and narrow driveway was another major challenge. It’s lined with sharp bushes, and maneuvering our car out was nerve-wracking—we nearly scratched it multiple times.Overall, this property was far from the relaxing stay we had hoped for. With the outdated amenities, lack of cleanliness, and privacy concerns, I cannot recommend it to others. ##### AA Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Leigh A. 23 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location The location of this property was fabulous. A short walk to both Little Kaiteriteri and Kaiteriteri beaches. Clean and comfortable. The only negative was the house creaked - a lot! Sounded like someone was walking around the house during the night. Fine if you are a heavy sleeper. ##### Leigh A. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan T. 27 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach holiday Very suitable for a group of 2-4 people. A short walk to the beach and shops. We were here in Winter and appreciated the heaters which adequately heated the house. Would stay again. ##### Jan T. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Timothy R. 10 Apr 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Kaiteriteri Lovely property, well located and easy to get to the beach. Bachcare put a lot of emphasis on cleaning over providing other information about the area. Unfortunately the property wasn't particularly clean on our arrival. We had booked a check out clean but had we actually cleaned the property to the standard requested by Bachcare in the information left in the property we would have been leaving it cleaner than when we found it! ##### Timothy R. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David F. 2 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Bach! Great location, being a lovely wee walk to the beach and into Kaiteriteri for a meal. Also, the property manager Diane was a delight to deal with. Thanks a lot and will be back! ##### David F.
