"Ongemakkelijk"

3.0

Het is een ruim appartement

We hebben 4 maal mails ontvangen waar op een vervelende toon werd duidelijk gemaakt dat er van ons werd verwacht dat we het appartement zo achter moesten laten zoals we het aantroffen. Afwas doen, bedden afhalen, afval gescheiden (op een bijzonder complexe manier) moesten weggooien en ga zo maar door. De host gaf meermaals aan dat ze zo druk heeft met haar gezin en andere b&b werkzaamheden. Er is geen privacy. Je kunt de voordeur niet van binnen uit afsluiten. Dus de naastwonende eigenaren kunnen altijd naar binnen. Niet alle ramen hebben gordijnen, dus je kijkt zo naar binnen. Er zou een wasmachine zijn, dat was niet zo. Geen vaatwasser. Het licht was hard en tl balken. Entree een rommel.

The accommodation was better than expected. Everything you needed and more was there ( except the food of course). Very clean and tidy. Top quality bedding, towels etc. Would definitely book again.

"Beautiful location and warm cosy atmosphere."

Immaculately presented and immaculately clean. Beautiful location. Cosy

Only thing and it’s an easy fix if needed. Needed another couch as we had 4 and just had enough room to sit to watch a movie. Couple of bean bags maybe.

Loved the homey feel of the place, especially the unobtrusive friendliness of the dog and cat. They made us feel welcome.

"Comfortable Easy Family friendly stay close to beach and Dunedin"

9.0

Excellent family friendly Location. Our kids were entertained for hours with all the onsite activities. Aspen the friendly Labrador was a lovely companion. Plenty of indoor kids games toys and activities provided as well as plenty of indoor space to do them! The property is fully fenced and down a quiet no exit road, great safe environment to let children play outside. Tennis court, trolley cart and scooters kept the kids well entertained. A one minute drive or 5 minute walk to the beach access. Plenty of things to do info on the wall & lovely hosts!
