Modern Kiwi Bach, OTP Bach

Our purpose built holiday home is located in the heart of One Tree Point, very close to the Marsden Cove waterways and marina development. Nestled near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a very sheltered section, it is only steps from a beautiful safe swimming beach within the Whangarei Harbour. The Bach sleeps 6 with a maximum of 4 adults, it offers plenty of off street parking, and is equipped with a handy hot/cold outdoor shower for easy sand removal after a day at the beach. One Tree Point is a fabulous beach side holiday destination located half and hours drive south of Whangarei, and only 90 minutes drive from central Auckland. Located near the entrance of the Whangarei Harbour, it offers easy launching and safe boating all year round and many safe swimming locations.

Disappointing

Unfortunately there was a plumbing problem as the smell of sewage was dreadful the entire stay. Less than 1/4 roll of toilet paper supplied. My bad forgetting to bring some so had to drive into Ruakaka to purchase some. Filthy dirty bbq with old oil & burnt food left on the hot plate. NO GAS BOTTLE supplied as promised. Thought this was a NO PETS bach but had two kittens take up residence each day. Couldn't shut them out as the smell from the bathroom was unbearable without air circulating around us. The kittens constantly climbed the benches/table stealing our food. Everytime the fridge door opened they were into it. Pretty sure they peed in the corner of the lounge & over by the TV. Had to drive into Fresh Choice again to buy Detol Spray as the smell from cat urine was not pleasant. Had to lift the curtains up off the floor to stop them climbimg up. Lounge suite was their scratching post. Lastly...to top off our experience there was a power cut. Therefore couldn't cook inside nor outside without a gas bottle & the right equipment to clean that dreadful bbq plate.Not a great experience staying at this bach at all. I hope the plumbing is seen to before the next person comes to stay & the gas bottle returned full. The cleaner should have checked that bbq as the rules state "if you use it, clean it afterwards."

Nice and tidy. Solid bach with great bi-folding deck doors on a quiet street. We were lucky to have a sunny day when we stayed in between the rainy days which were in Auckland. Everything you needed was there. We all enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic Property & Experience

This Bach was perfect for our young family of five who stayed just over a week. We loved its thoughtful construction - functional clean & robust. Items like the outdoor shower, large covered area & fish filleting area just make washing down Sandy kids & boogie boards a breeze. Even through a cyclone & a rainy week, it’s location near the school, cafe, beach etc meant our family had a great stay & would love the opportunity to stay again. The owners were great with comms & no fuss, even keeping us aware of planned council works in the area etc. Thank you so much.
