“1) The use of a long extension cord across the length of the kitchen floor in order to supply power to the refrigerator and microwave poses a tripping hazard and is dangerous.”

Furthermore, the first time we used the microwave, it caused a power outage. We therefore had to unplug the microwave and could not use it for the remainder of our stay. 2) We found the barbecue in a deplorable state of filth and spent at least an hour cleaning it before it could be used. In fact, we had to go and buy a newspaper in order to deal with the accumulated grease and bits of food debris.

Furthermore, the first time we used the microwave, it caused a power outage. We therefore had to unplug the microwave and could not use it for the remainder of our stay. 2) We found the barbecue in a deplorable state of filth and spent at least an hour cleaning it before it could be used. In fact, we had to go and buy a newspaper in order to deal with the accumulated grease and bits of food debris. This was all the more galling as we were charged a 'cleaning fee' – but we had to clean the barbecue ourselves in order to be able to use it. 3) The listing stated that a TV is available. However, this information is false, given that there is no access to Freeview in the unit. 4) We were supplied with only one towel each for a stay of 8 days – despite paying an exorbitant fee for the supply of linen. This meant that we had to phone Bachcare – wasting our holiday time – to request clean towels and teatowels. 5) The cutlery is in a parlous state and there is only one wine glass – in a unit designed for two people.

Hi Dina, thank you for providing feedback. The electrical issue has been fixed with a new power point, so that will not be an issue going forward, and new cutlery and wine glasses have been added. Sorry to hear about the BBQ, and we've asked that this get double checked going forward. We've also added a special note regarding the TV and DVD player to hopefully prevent any confusion about the lack of Freeview in the future. Bachcare

“My husband and I had a lovely time staying in the batch at Matapouri and would love to go back there again.”

It was comfortable and clean and had everything that you needed for a relaxing holiday. We met the Owners whilst we were there and they were such lovely friendly people and even passed in some of their grapes from their garden and home made cupcakes which I thought was such a kind gesture. I would like to mention that if anyone is looking for a nice place to stay then this is well worth a visit online, what you see in the photos is exactly what you get. A very cute little batch and you have nature right on your doorstep to enjoy as well as lovely walks and a beautiful beach to swim and relax on. Marcia & Ray Weaver
