The Bach has its character. The host customised a book to introduce the Bach and the nearby attractions, the book is professionally done and nice.
The Bach is in a good location. Cafe and restaurant are within walking distance. However, there were some noise from the passer by especially party goers at night. Moreover the bedrooms were facing the main road. So there were definitely noise. There are still some distance to walk to the beach and Mt Maunganui though.
The place has heater but no air-con. Unfortunately the day we reached there, it was a hot day. it was a little warm and stuffy during summer.
We also got a little confused with the house rules. Beside the house rules published on Airbnb, there was another set of house rules pasted on the wall, which were not made known to us before we booked the place. We thought that it might probably apply to others who booked through another platform because we have paid a cleaning fee of $72. We did try our best to follow the rules and put away the dishes as much as possible.
Overall, the experience is okay.
