Sarah “Great place”
- Sarah, July 2023Jeremy “Nice clean tidy home.”
Most bedrooms were a little bit cold on the cold side as there was only heating in the lounge and one of the bedrooms. We got excited when we saw the spa pool, only to find out that it wasn't operational. Fair enough as it wasn't advertised as having a spa. A few things which would improve the place: 1) some more crockery (were short on bowls) 2) some guest wifi 3) a dryer would have been great. We were sad at first that there was no TV, but it probably ended up being a good thing actually. Overall a very nice place and we'd gladly stay again.
- Jeremy, July 2023Jean-michel “The idea is good and the house looks nice but we could quickly see that it wasn't very clean, we even found a dead roach in the bedroom, some of the duvet also had stains.”
at first glance the house looks very nice but we quickly realized that the coffee table was broken which was creating hazards for the kids, the kids also found some screws in one of the bedroom cabinet. Wehn we tried to use the drying room, I plugged in the dehumidifier that was there and the fuses jumped so we had to keep the wet snow gear in the house to get dry. there was only 1 little heater for the 4 bedrooms so we had to keep the air con on all the time and keep the doors open to get some heat. When I had a problem with the linen, we realized they were not included, I couldn't see if we had taken the option or not on the booking confirmation and the website was showing that it was part of the booking, I had to call back 3 times to get some traction, every time I was being told someone was calling me back but it didn't happen.
- Jean-michel, July 2023Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback Jean-michel. We do apologise for the cleaning that was missed and the issues you raise which we will address with our service team. You will be pleased to know that linen is now provided at all properties when you book in the future. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Bachcare

Surprising spacious and it was such a hit with the kids. There was no WiFi but the kids were well entertained with the board games and books. The kitchen had everything we needed it was awesome. We enjoyed our stay!
