Stu 
“The house was clean and tidy.”
The heating and facilities were good. The single bathroom meant some coordination was necessary, otherwise a great place and close to the beach and good eateries. I would stay there again.

Annetta “This is our second stay at this prroperty and noticed the king bed in the main bedroom has been downsized to a queen which is to hard to sleep on comfortably.”
Unfortunately there is no clothes line or hooks to hang wet togs and damp towels. We had to clean the pool manually as the cleaning unit is broken and the spa pool is past it's use by date. It doesn't heat up properly anymore and the water coming out of the jets is cold, it's on a lean and the water was murky and there was a lot of sand in it. There is an area behind the tennis court under the grape vines that is unusable as it's very unkept and dirty. For what we paid we expected the place to be pretty near perfect and it wasn't. Someone needs to up their game regarding the outdoors. Never the less we had a great time at a family get together and the location is great
- Annetta, February 2024Thank you for your feedback Annetta and we are so very sorry that there were some maintenance issues during your recent stay. We are delighted to inform you that the owner has addressed this and the pool/spa has been repaired and the tennis rackets replaced. We look forward to welcoming you back! Bachcare
Kirsty “You pay for the outdoor setting of this house which the kids loved.”
It is overpriced for what it was. The house itself was bitzy and had no flow. Views were amazing but you can’t sit and watch the sea from inside, the best view of the sea was sitting on the master bedroom bed. There was no clothes line which would have been useful with all the swimming. Spa was luke warm. Dinning room chairs were cheap and flimsy, some didn’t have bolts. Apart from that the location was perfect one block from town. Walkway to beach off section. During summer house is very hot, you weren’t able to open all the doors as keys weren’t left. we found the beds way too hard. Remote wasn’t there for bottom dinning room tv also.
- Kirsty, January 2024Susan “Disappointing to find that the spa in your advertising was not heated-fact noted by previous guests and apparently not rectified.”
Also disappointing to find that the advertised sauna did not exist. There are numerous windows and French doors that cannot be opened. This made hot days unpleasant. The lovely deck outside the Master Bedroom could not be accessed for this reason. However, the house was in an ideal location -walking distance to beach, playground, shops and cafes; easy, short drive to large supermarkets and Mall. It was very well equipped with kitchenware and crockery. It was a pleasant surprise that dishwasher tablets and washing powder were supplied as well as hand soap in kitchen and both bathrooms. There was also plenty of reasonably good toilet roll. There were plenty of towels for use on the property. The beds were clean and comfortable. The pool and the tennis court were great to have with the children in our party but it was a good job we had taken our own tennis rackets and inflatables as those provided were well past their best. Overall, we had a good holiday but felt that, in view of the above mentioned disappointments, we had paid over the odds.
- Susan, December 2023Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback Susan, we have addressed the maintenance issue you have raised. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at this wonderful well-located property. Bachcare
Kaylee “The house was disjointed and not idea foe a big group.”
There's little flow with a small kitchen and the living room being upstairs. The pool was filthy and when I called asking how to clean it no one got back to us. The place served it's purpose but was rather disappointing.
- Kaylee, December 2023Thank you for your feedback Kaylee, we are sorry to hear about the issues during your stay. This is not the standard we expect for our guests and will be following up with the local manager to ensure everything has been remedied and that future guests are not impacted Bachcare
Andrew “Thanks for a great stay.”
Perfect spot for us for golf. We used the spare gas bottle as the gas had run out. Everything was spot on other than the hot tub wasn’t turned on and never really warmed up enough for us to use.
- Andrew, October 2023Stu “Great location, well maintained, clean property.”
Well heated.
- Stu, August 2023Mohan “Awesome place to stay!”
Loved it!
- Mohan, May 2023Hanna “After reading some earlier reviews, I was not 100% confident in the property.”
However I found that it is better than I expected. Everything we needed, including- soap, good linen, lots of plates etc, even good tennis balls were supplied (just missing a can opener) . loved that the dining table is big enough to seat a group. The layout is a bit unusual with the lounge on the upper floor, but I think that having the tennis court & pools make up for that. A better sitting area in the dining room would totally sort this though. :)
- Hanna, April 2023Erin “Place nice and clean.”
Comfortable beds. The layout is not great for a family. Bbq not handy to kitchen. Some basic kitchen items not there. Spa stopped working so only could use for first night. Feel the cleaning fee is high considering you have to leave the place how you found it. And rubbish recycling was already full. Location is good
- Erin, April 2023Thank you for your feedback Erin and we will certainly work with your suggestions. We are delighted you were comfortable and enjoyed your stay at this fabulous property. Bachcare
Phil “House was fantastic and we loved the tennis court and pool/spa.”
Great location and superb spot to visit Kapiti Island and have a family celebration. My only small criticism is I think shower soap, shampoo and conditioner should be provided. We have rented a number of houses and it is usually included. The kitchen lacks a bottle opener and corkscrew.
- Phil, March 2023Rebecca “No chlorine available to clean spa before and after use resulting in one of the guests coming out with a major rash throughout her body and having to see the doctor.”
No accessible chlorine meant it started to smell and become murky after use. No nice 'touches' were left for welcoming guests such as complimentary coffee, tea, milk. In fact, guests were requested to 'replace the coffee pods' if they used them which was off pointing and seemed pedantic for the amount of money we were spending at the accommodation. Tennis rackets were also broken and there were no balls left out which made the courts unusable and pointless for guests. No shampoos, conditioner left or nice touches like nice toliet paper (only one ply/budget) either - just advice for future guests as an added touch. Location was good however.
- Rebecca, February 2023Thank you for your review, Rebecca. At Bachcare we take spa pool cleaning very seriously and have professional pool maintenance in place to maintain our high standards. We are sorry that on this occasion it was not what you experienced. We will follow up on this with our local team along with the other suggestions you have raised. We are pleased that you enjoyed this great location. Bachcare
Annetta “Hi, we had an amazing time and the family want to stay there again.”
Comfortable beds and plenty of towels and tea towels supplied. All the facilities were a great hit with the whole family. Kids were in the pool from 8am. It was a fun relaxing time .Thank you for making our family weekend away so special and memorable. Just a small point. We had to clean the bbq before use as it had not been cleaned.
- Annetta, February 2023Tracey “We enjoyed our stay at this property, it was close to beach and shops and had great outdoor facilities which we enjoyed.”
House was nice, quirky, furnishings are okay, rather basic.
- Tracey, February 2023Jennie “We had a fabulous week in this accommodation.”
Thank you
- Jennie, January 2023Anton “Our stay in Paraparaumu was absolutely stellar thanks to this house.”
It had absolutely everything and more, special highlights being the pool/spa, tennis court and BBQ. The prime location of the house also meant we could make the most of the local beach, golf course and shops - with the mall also only a short drive away. We had the best time and would recommend to anyone looking for a place in the Paraparaumu beach area.
- Anton, December 2022Anne-Marie “A wonderful house!”
We were a little bit worried reading the other reviews but found it a wonderful spot!!
- Anne-Marie, January 2022Gary “Awesome spot for families”
- Gary, January 2022Muriel “Our family of 3 generations were well entertained with great facilities and ample space that kept us entertained enjoying the pool, spa, playing tennis and table tennis and relaxation.”
It was the best holiday we had together and 3 glorious days of summer! We’d love to return again.
- Muriel, January 2022Sarah “This house sleeps 3 families well and has a great pool and tennis court.”
Unfortunately it is tired and dusty and has absolutely no flow .
- Sarah, October 2021Thank you for your feedback. The owner has now completed a full update of the property. Bachcare
Dwane “Location is good but the property itself is very tired and layout is unusual.”
Bedding is old and worn while curtains and furniture have seen better days. Tennis court, spa and table tennis table were all enjoyed.

We are pleased to let you know the property owners have now completed improvements. We hope to see you again in the future after this work is completed so you can enjoy Kapiti Getaway at its best!

John and Karen “Great location,great facilities ,beautiful venue”
- John and Karen, April 2021Julian “As the description states an Executive home - it is large well appointed and has multiple extra facilities eg pool jacuzzi sauna ping pong and inside TV with video capabilities all that can be enjoyed.”
With ample accomodation well spread out there is no tripping over each other and accomodated our group of 3 families with ease. Easy access to the sea a bonus just a couple of minutes walk away. Bachcare staff were very helpful enabling a seamless entry/exit to the property. Ours was a family celebration and all 6 adults and 4 children had an unforgetable time. We unreservedly recommend this property
- Julian, March 2021Sarah “Even though an unusual layout with kitchen downstairs and living area upstairs (with view) a great place for groups.”
- Sarah, January 2021Kathy “On older house with many facilities.”
Maintenance is needed. Lovely spa and pool. Well located for beach and shops.
- Kathy, January 2021Thank you for your review Kathy! We're glad you enjoyed the amazing location and facilities available. The property owners have now completed a range of improvements that we hope will contribute to an even better guest experience going forward. Bachcare

The house was absolutely beutiful just really old as in Windows were hard to open aswel as cupboards and close to neighbours my family laugh loud so dont think its good for loud family like mine but other than that I loved it heaps of things to do just hated having to be quiet
- Gretta, December 2020Jeanette “Staying in this property is like having a resort all to yourself.”
There are so many ways to spend a time of relaxing and connecting with family and friends
- Jeanette, October 2020Barbara “Great property for a large group but be aware that it only sleeps 8 adults plus children.”
- Barbara, October 2020Mark “Great location and plenty of space.”
Views from upstairs lounge spectacular
- Mark, September 2020Daniel “We had a great weekend at this bach with 4 couples (plus 3 small kids).”
Overall, loved our stay, we had a great time! The pros: - Great onsite facilities, the spa, pool and tennis court are fantastic. We never felt the need to venture out apart from the odd walk. - Good size and well set up rooms, no one was cramped or tucked away and we all had queen/king beds. - Located close to cafes and the beach, so easy access if you wanted it. The cons: - The place is quite old and worn. Luxury and modern may have been true descriptions once, but no longer. - The sauna is quite underwhelming and there is no longer a TV in the pool room. - The house has an odd layout, with the kitchen on a separate floor to the living area. But despite the cons, we had a blast. Highly recommend!
- Daniel, February 2020Kirsty “Our house on the coast of Kapati was finely furnished and modern and beautiful for our family stay.”
comfy beds and beautiful outdoors - very much recommended (great value for money)
- Kirsty, December 2019Cherie “Thanks for an amazing property for our girls weekend away!”
The facilities were awesome.
- Cherie, November 2019Maria “Fantastic amenities, pool, spa, tennis court, house is very old and not modern as stated, needs major renovations.”
Great place to stay in warmer weather so you get full use of outdoors but would not be rushing to stay in winter.
- Maria, November 2019Thank you for your feedback Maria. The owners have now completed renovations on the property. We hope we can welcome you back again in the future! Bachcare
