Cottage a Pataua

“Had everything we needed, maybe a washing machine would be good”

“Perfect spot to stay in amazing Matapouri. The house is pretty well equipped for large family or group. Large garden and deck are entertainer’s dream. Our toddler loved toys, trampoline and swings. Highly recommended!”

“The third 3 day stay of a 9 day holiday. The bach/chalet was well appointed, to a high standard, and suitable for couples. Set down a small track it is in a quiet location and is a good base to explore Whangarei heads and the adjacent coast. A pleasant and comfortable place for a long weekend.”

“First, let me say that the place was awesome (I did give it 5 stars). I did however make a mistake regarding location. Mareen gave me accurate directions immediately when I booked, I saw I had a message through VRBO (I don't have the app), and I promptly ignored it.When it was time to drive to the place, I couldn't find directions (don't get ahead of the story folks). I messaged her once through email, and once through VRBO, and she responded twice!... through VRBO... Once I got to where I had...

“Hi,I phoned during our stay about the state of 82 Sandy Bay Farms road. The biggest concern was the smell of the water from the faucets, especially in the showers and baths.

I've sent some photos in a separate email. There were spiderwebs everywhere, one of the white tails got into the house, but I got rid of it before it got close to my...

“Lovely bach, excellent location. Would love to make a suggestion to have some pedestal fans available to use at night for sleeping, it’s such a nice warm bach but unbearable for sleep…….we wished we’d brought our own fans. Also Bachcare sent us the wrong lockbox code but we’re lucky they answered the phone with the first call and rectified the problem. Thankyou to the owners for renting out their home so people like us can have a summer holiday at the best location!!”

“Kathryn and Kev are absolutely delightful people, so accommodating. I needed to make change to our booking and they were able to do this without any problem. The house is absolutely beautiful and in a lovely location. The only thing I would change is the eco toilet due to the wind. The house is so well equipped everything you could need is readily available. Thank you for your hospitality we loved our stay in Whangarei ”

“Ideal location to chill-out. Well equipped and clean”

“After a hard day of racing IRBs this Bach was a great place to relax. ”

“Clean, tidy well equiped bach. A little walk to gorgeous beach. Would highly recommend. Wish we had stayed longer.”

“What an amazing spot for a few days out of Auckland. Stunning location with beautiful gardens and a private beach. Spacious and lovely home with epic postcard views. We had a wonderful time. Thanks for your hospitality Maureen. ”
