What an amazing location! The beautiful white sandy beach just over the road and never crowded even on a perfect January day. However, the Green Bach is far from perfect as far as cleanliness is concerned. Huge cobwebs hanging from ceiling, a build-up of general grime, rusty light-fittings, rusty gas bottle and musty bedding upstairs. This needs fixing up by the owner. We did a clean before we left, (no cleaning products supplied) but renters shouldn’t have to clean long-term built-up dirt. The Bach is generally well equipped but needs some serious maintenance such as: replace missing window catches, faulty switch in kitchen, septic tank above –ground pipe broken, install a blind or some sort of window covering in bedroom 2, replace toilet seat please!!
We had a bit of a storm one night and no power, it would ‘ve been great if there was a torch/candles/matches, also please change website that says there is Spark coverage: There is no Spark coverage at all.
We loved the ‘quirky’ Hoovermatic washing machine but feel younger renters wouldn’t know where to start!
Overall, we had a great time as we had good company, good food, friendly neighbours and a beautiful beach. Please look after this little Kiwi gem and give it some well-deserved TLC.
