Stunning location, hearing the sound of the waves is amazing. Property needs a bit of updating, the decor is a bit tired and little things like no decent can opener, cutlery was like a picnic set as opposed to real cutlery, old duvet cover with an old stain on it. It is a warm and cosy place for a winter get away. ##### Cherryl S.

Reviewer Comments: Property was as described and better than some of the negative reviews we read about regarding the the cleanliness, the general condition of the cottage and the views. The sight and sound of the sea was great. The communal areas were cosy and comfortable. Overall a fantastic beach Bach experience. Would recommend. ##### Lisa W. ### 8/10 Good #### Lee W. 7 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous Views Lovely setting, view stunning. Plenty of space especially in the upstairs bedroom, bathroom and alcove. Generous sized dining table. Good lighting especially for those who like to read in bed. Comfortable. Easier access to the beach at the end of the street than from the rental. There were negatives as described below, but overall a good stay.Downstairs' bathroom very cramped. No instructions on operating anything in the rental. Had to call rental company, Bach Break. They sent someone out who showed how the oven worked but who also could find no instructions on property. All too late in time for dinner. Microwave quirky, worked sometimes and not others. With instructions we might have been able to master its operation. There is a washer but no dryer. There is a clothesline and things dried quickly as it was summer, but the clothespins are all rusty and covered with spider webs. Potential for staining clothes due to the rust. ##### Lee W. Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Leigh H. 21 Mar 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great location, house needs attention The house has not been deep cleaned in a very long time. We killed a minimum of 15 spiders during our 3 nights there…one of which was LARGE and in the bed during the middle of the night. We had a water emergency and it took us 4 calls and over 30 minutes combined of our morning to even get someone to answer the phone (even their emergency line). Luckily the water issue was the shower would not turn off, but the water was contained to the bathtub. Otherwise the entire upstairs would have flooded before anyone answered the phone. As a result we only had the very tiny shower to use (master bath was out of commission) for 2/3 of our stay. The agency felt $60 NZ was an amount that we should have been grateful for. I was not overjoyed with this based on the level of the issue, but also did not want to waste any more holiday time dealing with them. Summary: house is in a great spot but until it is under different management with better cleaning I would not stay here again. ##### Leigh H.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Chester Cottage could be a lovely place if some upkeep and maintenance was done. There is no shelf or storage space in the second bathroom. The steps down to the beach need to be repaired and the shubbery needs to be cut back. Take down all the cobwebs would make it much cleaner. Maintaining and trimming all the bushes and shrubs would allow better views of the ocean and all around. The bedrooms were adequate. The kitchen had too many unorganized drawers and cupboards -- a thorough cleanout and purging of duplicates and old items would be a good idea. When Bach Break management was contacted requesting a replacement for a broken item, there was no response at all. ##### Margaret R.
