Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a find! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is large (grounds and house) and clean. We enjoyed being able to walk to the Oakura shops but still felt in our own secluded world while at the house. We would definitely visit again.

Relay Runners enjoying Oakura!

The property was great, tidy, spacious, house well laid out and stocked with the basics as advised. The only challenge we had was on the Saturday night when we got back to get some well earned rest after running around the mountain. On arrival at 9:30pm their was obviously a live band playing at the pub not far away. The volume was quite excessive, loud enough that trying to hear the rugby (All Black's game we watched for a while) was difficult. I hate to think how loud it was in the pub. It was done by 11:30pm and we got a good nights sleep afterwards. Just not something we expected. Overall really enjoyed staying at the place. left it tidy and clean. Paul :)

UK visitors first experience of book a Bach.

A great experience from the get go. I live in NZ and booked the Bach for family over here for a wedding and holiday. Booking was easy. Questions and communication great. House was in a great location. Plenty of space inside and great indoor / outdoor flow. Very comfortable. My family loved the house, loved the week and would definately come back 😁👌

This was a wonderful holiday home to stay in.

This was a wonderful holiday home to stay in. It was warm, clean and had everything we needed. A home away from home. We loved the layout of the living area, lots of space for our adult family to relax in. Even had time to play a tune or two on the piano.

McFarlanes was a very spacious and well cared for home/bach and perfect for our stay with our family. Would love to have had the beach maybe a little closer...but the outdoor area was lovely and we could nearly hear the sea if not see it...most enjoyable stay!

Great house - set up with everything you could possibly need for a lovely holiday.

Great house - set up with everything you could possibly need for a lovely holiday. In an excellent location with a beautiful garden and deck that gets all day sun. Only suggestion would be a gate you could put across the driveway to keep kids on the property.
