It was a nice beach batch that had everything needed for 1 night. Enjoyed sitting in sun eating our dinner. Something had died so there was a bad smell. Probably a bird. The showers outside were good pressure, but they really needed to be cleaned, dirt and leaves in them. But a great family batch

Hey sacha. My family had an awesome stay this time round. Just letting you know that there was a chair that broke on my son. I think the sun has taken its toll on the net chairs. Just thought id let you know as the other chairs may break on others in the future. My son was holding my baby when it broke on him. The house cleanliness is quite poor. Fridge had mold in the rubber seals, there were alot of dead bees that had fallen on the ground then i found a whole heap that started to wake up i managed to get them out though. Also toilet bins werent empty when we arrived. Basins didnt look wiped down. But apart from that our stay was awesome. Sacha youve been an amazing property manager. Awesome communication. And definitely improving issues as i seen alot of things had been restocked this time round. The floors looked like they had been re painted absolutely awesome stay. Love this house. Alot of the things i mentioned are just things to be wary of but easy tonwork around or just clean it up outselves which we dont mind. Again definitely we will be back awesome location, very accommodating, can host a family get together even. There is that many rooms. The outside showers are wicked for straight after the beach. My dad also enjoyed his stay which was his 1st time there. You have just won him overwith this place. He absolutely loved it. And wants to book here everytime we come up now. So again thank you Sacha

Lovely spot but note outside shower

The bach is in a great spot across road and through some bush to a great beach, but limited harbour views due to trees across the road. The bach is comfy and kitchen well appointed. Nice to have a table big enough for pur group. There is a handheld shower over a bath inside with main showers in a lean-to outside. This was fine for our group and shower pressure was great but I imagine some might not like this setup. We arrived just after a big storm but the outdoor areas and showers were long overdue for a big sweep. Bring earplugs so you can sleep longer than the neighbours rooster! The owner was very responsive to queries.

Good location

Great location, spacious for a family. House was generally tidy but did have a fair bit of dust build up. Needs an update. Mattresses were not very comfortable. Easy access location and you can hear the water from the bedroom which was nice.

Great bach in a choice spot.

Old style bach but with good upgrades and lots of space. Lots of windows to open to get a breeze going to cool things in the heat of summer.

The perfect batch for the most perfect weekend

My family and I stayed here to attend a wedding, the batch was beautiful, I loved the old school vibe, it was clean and just a pop over the road to the ocean. Sacha was a great host and communicated thoroughly. Thanks for the great stay!

Great NZ Batch Experience!

This is a great little batch in Omapere. Perfect for a batch-holiday getaway. Great location with a short walk to the beach and a 2 min drive to a 4-Square in Opononi. It's basic, but very livable. Be prepared that there is only really stand-up showers outside - but they are fine. The one issue we had was linens aren't included so you have to bring your own or rent. Renting was a little difficult as we were coming from overseas and the landlord would only accept a bank-transfer. Overall though, great place to stay!

What a wonderful place!

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Communication was superb and when we forgot towels (!) we were incredibly kindly catered for. House was perfect for us. Lots of space. Blackboard and kids toys provided hours of fun. Deck was lovely and cat a delight. We hope to be back. Thank you

Rustic realness

Kia ora, It was a pleasure staying here. Sacha was great on communication and polite and friendly. The house was plenty big enough for two couples, a kuia and a pēpi. Check-in and check-out were seamless and it was the perfect location, right next to the breach. It’ll be dreamy staying here in summer and we hope to be back! Ngā mihi

This was our second stay at Green Bach, and although it's nothing flash, there have been so many improvements since our last visit in 2018. Great place to stay with plenty of room and a very sweet cat.
