Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Great to get back on the Coast and stay in a simple cosy bach. We had good weather so took advantage of the day walks and enjoyed the sound of the waves pounding on the rocks at night. A comfortable chair to read a book in would have topped it off (Hint ;).

We had a fabulous time here. Amazing reading the history of this 100yr old home. So many people have left their holiday memories in the guest book here. Super clean, cute, nostalgic and has everything you need. Loved it! 😍

This is having the authentic experience of a stay in a NZ Bach. Everything was in keeping. The sea was at war with the elements, the west coast drizzle was at it's best. Being able to go out and walk in the elements and then come back to a hot cuppa and a warm heater made it all complete.
The bach is simplicity and yet appreciable. We had a much needed relax. Walking, exploring, playing cards.
The Sunday markets at Fox River were worth the visit.
Thankyou

We were totally charmed by this quirky but clearly much-loved and well-cared for family bach, with a long history. Despite being cosily small, the kitchen is well-equipped and provided everything we needed for a comfortable night's stay. We enjoyed looking at the many curious collections of kiwiana and other memorabilia on display and reading entries in the visitor's book, which was started many decades ago. Would definitely return, if in the area again.
