Great Location and accommodation is ok
Large 1970s house. Tidy and good location to beach, cafes and 4 square shop. Reasonably happy with stay but there some things that need addressing.1) Upstairs Queen bed- the mattress springs gone on the right side and the mattress feels like you are sleeping on a slope. Definitely needs replacing 2) Lack of outdoor chairs on the deck 3) Pool cue sticks in garage has lost their tips and need to be replaced 4) outside furniture (table and chairs could do with a good clean or be replaced 5) BBQ - the gas flue underneath hot plate doesn’t work too well(only part of it is feeding the gas)

Amazing location
The house is in an amazing location, easy to reach from sh1. A short private path to the beach and stunning views from living room - trees obstruct some of the views.
While the property is clean, tidy and spacious we were disappointed with the quality of the furniture- no comfortable sitting to sit and look at the view. No sofas or chairs to relax on and enjoy the view and company.
The dining table was wobbly, chairs creaky and the beds springy and light on bedding.
The oven - also easily unpredictable.
The property is stunning but the comfort aspect let’s it down, one of the guests commented that at the price point you’d expect comfortable sofas and seating in the living space.

school holiday week with grandchildren- great location. Some facilities underwhelming
Great location, amazing seaviews and easy access to beach.
Stayed week over school holidays with 6 young grandchildren (4-8 years), would have been better if oven heated to cook food properly. Stove top rings- erractic heat. Lovely and warm upstairs with fireplace, cool downstairs even with wall heaters. Light bedding provided, glad I had taken extra. Great laundry facilitied-washing machine and drier- well utilised

Amazing weekend
Our group was incredibly happy with this property, it had everything we needed, great location and more. Didn't feel at all cramped with ten people and had more than enough space for parking too. Highly recommend and would book again.

Great stay!
The property was perfect for our group - 8 adults and 4 babies. Right on the beach front and a stones throw from cafes and a 4-square. Will stay again!

Amazing! This home, tucked away in the bush and trees had unobstructed views of the beach, plenty of space to spread out for 6 adults, and everything we needed for a 5 day get together.

Property has a good location but poorly managed
The home is in a lovely spot - the newly hired property manager was very friendly and worked hard to try and get things write. The big issue was BachCare who manages these properties. I am sure the owners have no idea how poorly their homes are maintained and how misrepresented they were. Heat did not work in all rooms. Water leak on the ceiling - Wi-Fi not working (and took over a day to fix). Path to ocean and back yard very over grown and difficult to use. BachCare staff rude and disorganized.
I have been renting homes for 20 years for vacation and this is my first negative review. I stayed in three of BachCare’s managed properties and found the experiences to all be similar. It was the dull spot on a otherwise amazing vacation. The only area of expertise and concern they seem to have is in finding ways to add extra fees to your stay.
