The House

lovely home,lovely people

Sue and John are great hosts, just like being at home with mum and dad. I felt like I'd been welcomed home and upon leaving, well I wanted to give them a hug. Genuine Kiwi couple opened there accomidation/ home to a weary traveler with everything you need and more

Look I'm a Camper stayed in meany different places there is nothing I didn't like. I know many people may think differently because of standards and expectations. Can I just share... Less is more, we don't use hard used soaps and fluffy bathroom floor mats sorry guys COVID made us weary of such things. To flush the loo I first have to move the net curtain, I was given two towels but every towel rail already had a towels hanging already.Less is more and more can be more work for the host ☺️ Oh the wifi I had to sit on the top step of the stairs to access it. Sorry but that can be fixed or don't include it as part of the package. I hope my honesty adds to your success only as you are great hosts

Gave us directions to local restaurants and laundromat..

Poor WiFi

The owners were extremely welcoming and amazingly kind. The room was large, spacious and really comfortable with a nice arrangement of house appliances that I was encouraged to use. The house is a maximum of a 15-minute drive away from the city

Value for money stay. A cosy homestay environment. Sue and John was accommodating and helpful. The garden had fruit trees.

Appalling - Locked out Our check in time was 6pm. We got dropped off at The House at 6pm by Uber. No one was home. There was a note on door that read - ‘We are out until 9pm.’ We were locked out and hosts were uncontactable. We were tired travellers, had already had dinner and planned for early nite. We didn’t wish to wait outside in the rain for 3 hours so had to Uber to a cafe with all our bags to wait. We ubered back at 9pm and hosts didn’t arrive til 9.20pm. Sue then spoke to us so abruptly and in such a rude and scolding manner, saying “they decided to go out, so left a note on the door and expected we’d just go out til they got home”. They couldn’t have cared less. We stood there shocked, then she walked away and snapped “Well are you coming in or not” Never have we encountered such rudeness and disrespect. It was all very upsetting. We felt like such an inconvenience. We had no choice but to stay, it was so late. She later came down and tossed a $20 note in our room for ‘keeping us waiting’. An apology would have been more meaningful. This didn’t even cover extra Uber expenses. Of our many years air bnb’ing we’ve never had a negative experience. We are now apprehensive to book future air bnbs.

He had a wondeful time: - very friendly hosts - big room with comfortable bed - we could use host‘s bigger and fully equipped kitchen (another kitchen is to store food and prepare breakfast/snacks) - nice and clean bathroom
