Great location, short walk to the beach
We stayed for three nights over New Year's; the house was very clean and had plenty of space for the seven of us staying. The bach owners were really nice and provided heaps of information. Sky TV and a large back deck and yard were great features.

Cooks Beach Bach
Lovely location, however the place needs a good clean and TLC. Mouse traps set above stove in kitchen was off-putting. Downstairs shower and bathroom full of spiders and cobwebs. Needs a good vacuum clean as well. Downstairs sponge matress very thin, not suitable for an adult. Pitty there was no wifi.

Laid-back bach
Centrally located with the beach across a reserve and next to shops. All the amenities needed in a kiwi back for a relaxed week away. Garden was a bonus for our dog, it was great to be able to take her with us. Chris was very helpful and responded quickly to queries. Really enjoyed our stay.

Big family house
This place was awesome for a big group. Lots of space and beds to easily accommodate 2-3 families, shop, bar and bottle store within 100m, and a very short walk to the beach. It was a very comfortable place to stay, but could benefit from a few easy improvements, dryer wasn’t working and dishwasher only intermittently, shower pressure isn’t the best and only 4 glasses in the pantry for a house that sleeps 10. Nothing major and overall we all really enjoyed our stay there.
