set up was great, if they wanted to improve they could have had newer and bigger sofa chairs but the ones there were fine.

spa was cold the first night and not warm until the 2nd

"Key amenities missing, lovely property but seemed to lack the care and attention."

4.0

Location was private, bed was super comfy, linen was lovely.

There was no key amenities like toilet paper, dishwashing powder. There was washing (sheets perhaps from the last occupant) in the washing machine and I asked the owner how they would like me to handle them with no dryer, plus the lack of the above amenities, but no reply from the owner. The spa was emptied, so not able to be used. There was a lot of flies on the property. There was one towel, one tea towel. The place was not as clean as we would have expected.

"Disappointing presentation of a lovely property"

7.0

The cottage was well appointed, in a lovely location and was light airy and comfortable.

Upon arrival, the bathroom had not been cleaned. Three wet towels and a bathmat were left hanging on the towel rail, rubbish was present in the vanity basin, and the floor had not been swept or cleaned. Overall, the property appeared unprepared for our stay. Additionally, while a coffee machine was provided in the kitchen, no coffee pods were supplied. I messaged the owner to raise these concerns regarding the condition of the property; however, I have received no response.

Die Lage

Es war nichts sauber, alles schmuddelig und oder klebrig. War die bis jetzt schmutzigste Unterkunft in Neuseeland

Lovely location, sweet dog came to visit, amenities were good.

No milk, it's 12 km to the nearest store so we skipped having breakfast and left earlier and had breakfast in a cafe. Only one bed was made up, we were told sheets were on the clothesline, so I made it up. It needs cleaning beside the bed against the wall.
