For Angela, Onemana is a haven from her hectic Auckland life: “It is my saviour. I run a busy business, so it is soul food. Walking along the beach rejuvenates me, and I love seeing my kids and their mates out in the ocean having fun.”

Angela’s happy place is a modern two-storey holiday cabin, with three bedrooms, one bathroom and a full kitchen. The open plan living oozes bright beach holiday style with big windows, ranch sliders and a balcony overlooking the town of Onemana. The beach is close by, there are scenic walks, tennis courts and a children’s playground at hand, and it’s only another 10 minutes by car to Whangamata.

Operating the bach as a holiday home rental has always been part of Angela’s plan. That isn’t just for the benefit of earning an income from her property, she says, but also the importance of regular occupancy and upkeep.

Bachcare was an easy choice for Angela. She runs a property management business in Auckland and, as she says, has “high expectations around service” but was immediately impressed when the Bachcare local property manager came around the day after her initial enquiry: “She was professional and friendly, and has been amazing always going above and beyond. My property is always in fantastic condition.”

Angela has been equally impressed by the ease of the onboarding process — “one meeting on-site and it was all done, including arranging great professional photos and the efficiency of the owner portal, booking and payment processes.”

“The Bachcare payment and reporting system is completely transparent and efficient. The fact they make my life easy, given my hectic life in Auckland is more than worth the money!"
