Photos need updating on site as we were disappointed driving up to the property it didn’t look as nice as the photos. We liked the availability of having 3 toilets and the bath was great but the showers were outside and on slimy concrete. It was very cold in the morning and night although heaters were provided it’s not energy efficient as is the stove. We did love the nostalgic aspect of the house especially the plates cups and cutlery. Considering the price it was okay but the roosters waking us early every morning got very annoying

Great location

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.

Quintessential kiwi Bach

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Bach had everything we needed, and was in a lovely quiet spot with lots of privacy. The only thing lacking was the WiFi and mobile network connectivity, but when you’re on holiday that’s not a bad thing!
