"Perfect for coming and going"

8.0

Cute little cottage with a great heritage. Furniture was in keeping. Perfect for attending a wedding down at Willows Ranch

So much untapped potential. Outside grounds nothing like the photos. Not a place you’d want to sit outside

"This used to be lovely old cottage , sadly outdated & not cared for by current owner."

3.0

Great bones, no care. We love the location, very convenient.

We didn't like that the owner doesn't care about what originaly must be a lovely place. Need lots of TLC. We didn't like that the most of crockery were chipped, cups & plates. The shower was wheelchair acces set up originally for grandma, outdated, including the wood rooting and the mold in the corner. The shower was fixed by cable tie so it keeps falling of when in use. The fan in the batroom didn't work.The kitchen had no curtains so the owner from next door can see inside/ no privacy. The sheets and pillows for bedding were made from polyester, not very nice to sleep in . The Netflix was set up on the same account as the house next door, so the owner bumped us off so we could not use it as it is obviously set up for one accont( it is $8 per month to add another accont). There were no DVD or DVD player as mentioned in the hpusr manual. The internet was very slow and scatchy as it set up as an extention from the owner house a few meteres away,it was hard to use for work or gaming.

Had everything we needed for a week's stay. Loved that there was a screen door and (insect) screens on some of the windows.

"Excellent"

8.0

The cottage inside was good. Clean and tidy. Comfortable bed. The history of the cottage is interesting. Location is good for Kerikeri, just a few minutes car drive away.

I like being outside. However, the outside doesn't lend itself to sitting out. The garden needs a lot of attention, as does the outside furniture.

Schönes altes Cottage mit alter und teilweise originaler Ausstattung , ruhig gelegen, obwohl gleich neben SH 10, Im Sommer gleich nebenan Blueberry Farm mit tollem Glace

Terrasse und umliegender Garten sind in desolatem Zustand (wellig, hochstehende Bretter und Nägel, ungepflegt), Bilder im Internet und Realität klaffen weit auseinander. Wasserhahn in der Küche marode ,wird immer nur notdürftig geflickt, statt ersetzt (hatten Drehknopf in der Hand und heisses Wasser schoss uns entgegen, ziemlich gefährlich

"Het was niet duur en dat was wel het geheel aan te zien."

6.0

Historisch gebouwtje, maar wel slecht onderhouden.

Er hing bij binnenkomst een nare geur. Iets van nat hout. Geen contact gehad met de host.
