The Lookout - Tairua Holiday Home

The view. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was great. Having a dishwasher was very handy.

We didn't know which house down the right of way was number 5. We sent a long time at the wrong property looking for the lockbox and phoning Booking.com. I would like to suggest clear instructions which property it is and a bigger number placed on the fence where people can see.

The view!!

It wasn't as clean as I'd expect for a house of that caliber. The sky didn't work properly

The view

Terribly filthy Dirty toilet, dusty, dirty sheets and towels in the closets, smudge and filth in the bathroom drawers, absolutely disgusting rubbish closet and the rubbish wasn’t collected at all during our week long stay. Sandy, sticky and dusty floors, mouldy outdoor furniture, dirty bbq, the stovetop and kitchen oven not cleaned, no window in the second bedroom and the door in that room open to the balcony so unsafe ventilation at night. No air conditioning. Crumbs and food in the sofa. We shortened our stay and had no compensation for the lost nights.

The view and the house itself were just excellent. Gorgeous view!!! The sheets and towels were clean and crisp. The only downsides were the overall cleanliness of the main living areas. Food and chips on the floor, dust, etc and the 44 steps to the house (we are older). But for me, I can overlook all of that as I had read previous reviews that stated the same. I knew that possibility existed and the steps. No regrets, it was my favorite place to stay this entire trip. I didn’t want to leave the house!

Lack of cleanliness and steep stairs.
