Please note: We do not accept third party bookings so please make sure that if you book our Bach, you are booking for yourself and/or family and not for third parties. We expect our guests whom are staying here have read all these requirements.

All linen and towels are supplied.

A few points of note below for our guests please:

We need your help to conserve our water as much as possible as we are on tank rain water so things like limiting time in showers and not running taps unnecessarily is a requirement please. Common sense approach to water usage and using washing machine most appreciated (we use the quick wash option as its the most efficient with water)

With checking in, you will be required to turn on the knob on the gas bottle, located out the back of Bach, this is for heating water and stove top usage. You will also be required to flick a switch to turn on the electric power inside, as its turned off normally. Instructions for these are within the booking and also emailed by Bookabach to you within 10 days days of your arrival so please look out for the email. It is very straightforward.

A new AC unit has just been installed, In summer time, please always set temperature between 22 and 24 degrees for cooling and not lower e.g. not on 16 degrees as the AC unit races and never gets there. This allows the unit to run most efficiently and works just fine for cooling as we have tested :) In Winter, we found heating set between 21 and 23 degrees max works fine also. We ask that you always run it in economy mode on both fan and vane settings. Please make sure you always turn off the AC unit when you leave the Bach. Please note the AC unit does send reports about usage and its settings.

We also ask that you tidy up before you leave, please wash dishes, empty fridge and take your rubbish away. Used towels and bed linen can be left on shower room floor.

Thanking you in advance!

** For our overseas guests, especially from North America, please note that expectations of standards for VRBO/Bookabach can be different in North America to New Zealand and that we may operate in a slightly more relaxed style here but we do still expect all of our rules to be followed, as agreed when booking.

**Mobile phone reception is good for Spark in Mahia but not so good for Vodafone/2 Degrees, in some locations. We have WiFi in our Bach so not that much of an issue.
