“Fantastic home away from home if you enjoy simple living and outdoors.”

It's a quiet space yet close to the township if you need supplies. Perfect getaway with the beach nearby to enjoy walks with the dog. This home has everything you need (including your pets). I would highly recommend this batch to all viewers. A BIG thank you to the home owners for sharing such a beautiful place.

“A proper bach, with loads of interesting features.”

We liked the 'recycled' look, especially the little room off to the side. The lawn was a hit with our nine year old for just running around on. The rabbits were great too.

“We requested to book Blue Diamond less than 24hrs prior to arrival in order to attend a family funeral.”

Both Bachcare and the property owners were exceptionally helpful and compassionate. The owners allowed flexibility around check in and out times, and upon arrival we discovered they'd kindly left us a bag of cookies and extra cups/plates for family that we'd asked to have over for a couple of hours reflection time - thank you so much. The Bach itself was Kiwi quintessential. Apart from a grater, everything we needed was supplied, including a coffee machine, reading material, board games, and two bikes (we suggest adding these fantastic assets to your listing). We had a most enjoyable couple of hours cycling (and me running) to the beach and along the river stopping off multiple times for a swim. The swinging chair on the deck was the perfect antidote for pondering life. We left Blue Diamond Bach very reluctantly.

“This was a fantastic little bach and great for dogs with all day sun.”

Great location and a lovely 25 min walk along the river to the beach. Loved the covered outdoor area, which we used day and night. It was good that it was a covered walkway to the outside bathroom. Only minor feedback to pass on. There was no outside rubbish bin and only a small pedal bin in the kitchen, so nowhere to put rubbish once the kitchen bin was full. There was also no cleaning equipment for the BBQ. A potato peeler would also have been useful. Some outside lighting, maybe solar fairy lights are needed to provide lighting when on the deck. When it rained there was a leak in the bathroom area, which did go over some of our belongings. All minor things, and I’d highly recommend this place to others needing something small that’s dog friendly.

“Taps and toilet cistern need updated, shower mixer be a bonus as would extra 6 inches of door height to bedroom.”

Bed comfortable and overall a good Bach experience, still undecided about value for money.
