Elsabe 
“We loved and returned often over the years.”
Unfortunately we found that the furniture is getting very old, dirty and uncomfortable. The price reflects an experience far more clean and comfortable than Rosemary cottages current state is Unfortunately. We appreciate that we could have our dog with us. Will next time rather stay somewhere else where the beds and sofas are still comfortable

Malcolm “Very nice place to stay for the extended family.”
Nice and spacious and close to the shops and beach. What more could you ask for?
- Malcolm, February 2025Debi “We absolutely love this bach and have stayed in it many times over the years.”
Good location - it is close to everything, has plenty of space and is well maintained. There were a couple of broken bulbs and light bulbs not working - but bachcare did sort the bulbs out fairly quickly. Definitely would recommend it! What we weren't very happy with is the extra costs that Bachcare slap on... Booking fee $94, cleaning $193 and linen $275!!. In years gone by we did our own cleaning and brought our own linen.We don't mind paying for the cleaning so much - but the charge for linen is ridiculous! Not sure how that can be justified?? We funded it by staying one night less than usual- a shame, and I think it makes it too expensive for a lot of families.
- Debi, February 2025Desiree “Great location - walkable to everywhere we wanted to go.”
great space for the whole whanau - my grandkids said they want to go back! Loved our time - even in the rain. Only downside is the decor /furniture is old/ dated and the morning after we arrived I walked into the kitchen and there was a cockroach walking across the floor - as there are no doors on the pantry or cupboards it grossed me out !
- Desiree, January 2025Peter “Had a great time.”
House was as listed.Nice and clean too
- Peter, September 2024Peter “We had a nice stay there.”
Place was clean and comfortable.Would stay again cheers Peter
- Peter, April 2024Elsabe “Major improvement since last time we were there 2 years ago.”
It was clean and open and friendly. Highly recommended
- Elsabe, March 2024Russell “A great house for our family and we happily recommend it to others.”
A great selection of books! Minor thing- bulb in downstairs toilet blown
- Russell, January 2024Lisa “Rosemary Cottage has everything you need for a great stay in Hahei, the only thing letting it down is the housekeeping.”
When we arrived the large rug in the master bedroom had not been vacuumed and the toilet had not been cleaned properly. I vacuumed the rug myself but the vacuum cleaner is useless and the home requires a better quality one than The Warehouse one currently there. I realise acquiring good cleaners can be a challenge, but when you are paying a compulsory $275 fee it should be better. Other than that it's a great set up in a great location.
- Lisa, January 2024Thank you for your review Lisa, we are sorry to hear there were issues with the cleanliness at our property. We have addressed the cleaning issues with our local team. Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback as we are always working on improving the care of our properties. Bachcare
Natalie “A character-full bach in a great location, short walk to the beach, shops, pub etc.”
The kitchen was quite prone to ant attacks but there was plenty of spray at hand so wasn't an issue. Would stay again :)
- Natalie, November 2023Jocelyn “I have sent an email with details.”
Some maintenance needs to be done on property. There must be something dead in ceiling as magots were falling from kitchen lights above the bench. A broken dining room chair. Shower clogged with hair so not draining are just a few things that need looked a.t
- Jocelyn, February 2023Many thanks for your feedback Jocelyn. Our sincerest apologies for the issues you experienced with the property. These were bought to the attention of the Managed Services Team at the time and rectified. We have been in touch with you and hope you are happy with the resolution we have offered to you. We hope that you continue to rent with Bachcare. Bachcare
Debi “We have had many fantastic holidays at Rosemary Cottage and generally love the property and would usually rate it 5/5.”
Sunny, well-equipped and plenty of space. On this occasion the cleanliness was not up to its normal standard for for eg fridge had not been cleaned and old food had been left in it. Animal hair was evident about the house. This was disappointing when we pay a cleaning fee. There was nothing to light the B-B-Q with. We rang Bachcare and was advised that they would contact the cottage manager and get back to us - we never heard from them. Despite the bad weather we had a lovely stay - thank-you very much for letting us stay in your bach. Would definitely recommend staying here.
- Debi, January 2023We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed Rosemary Cottage - yet again! At Bachcare we take cleaning seriously and have guidelines in place to maintain our high standard. It's unfortunate that this was not what you experienced and we will follow up with our team to improve this. Thanks again! Bachcare
Charmaine “It was a lovely bach.”
There was enough space for our large group.
- Charmaine, December 2022Helen “We thoroughly enjoyed the location, walking distance to beach and lovely cafe/bar and shop around the corner.”
We had a comfortable lodging for the night. Hopped on the ferry to Whitianga, such a relaxed weekend away. Will definitely be back in the future. Thank you.
- Helen, November 2022Ann “Very nice batch stay but the photos need to be updated on the website as it ...”
Very nice batch stay but the photos need to be updated on the website as it makes that Bach look very old and crappy but it is very nice place
- Ann, October 2022Kathryn “The house was spacious and a good size for a large family or multiple families to stay.”
We chose the cottage as it had a fireplace but unfortunately there was no firewood available. We felt it needed a good clean as there was both human hair and pet hair throughout the house and the bathrooms/toilets weren't the cleanest. Had we been staying longer I would have likely given it a good vacuum as we had our 4 small young children with us and I was hesitant to put our babies down on the ground. Given we have to pay a cleaning fee I had expected it to be cleaner than it was.
- Kathryn, September 2022Thanks for taking the time to review your stay at Rosemary Cottage in Hahei. You are right, it is a great bach! We are sorry to hear of the issues you raised, however you will be pleased to know that we have now addressed these concerns. We look forward to having you stay again soon! Bachcare
Raewyn “This is a great batch.”
We are a family of five , the batch would really suit extended family or two families together. So appreciated that the owners allow dogs so we could bring our Cavoodle with us ( not fenced but a quiet road). Easy walk to beach and track to cathedral cove. Well equipped kitchen. Fire was great for cold winter nights. Thank you so much for a great stay. We hope to return soon !
- Raewyn, July 2022Zoe “Great place, close to beach, lots of room for all of us.”
Great price, madde it affordable! Loved that our dog could stay too!
- Zoe, June 2022Elsabe “Grateful for this property that allows our little dog inside.”
- Elsabe, September 2021Kim “Love Rosemary cottage, it is a great location and very spacious.”
Will be there again next year!
- Kim, March 2021Tracy “House was in a great location with easy walking to shops and beach.”
House was great for the teenagers upstairs with their own bathroom and lounge. Perfect stay just wish it was for longer.
- Tracy, January 2021Shivani “Scott was a lovely host.”
Very kind, accommodating and understanding. We highly enjoyed our stay here and would be back again in a heart beat :)
- Shivani, November 2020Lynda “Rosemary Cottage is a great holiday house and is very well equipped.”
It is a short walk to the beach and several eateries. We have stayed several times now and look forward to returning again.
- Lynda, February 2020Robyn “Excellent stay, house provided all we needed and house is more spacious than appears in photos.”
Great for families. Only critique would be the upstairs double bed be renewed as I thought it was uncomfortable but otherwise perfect stay.
- Robyn, January 2020Thushara “The Bach is very conveniently located to all the attractions and is a ideal place to stay in Hahei.”
- Thushara, September 2019Lynda “Rosemary Cottage is a great family Bach.”
It has everything you need for and extended family stay. Close to the Beach and shops and cafes.
