Ahuru Mōwai

Spacious and everything we needed.

Construction nearby but we were warned so can’t really hold that against it.

Every room has a toilet, and the living area is spacious.

Only one room at the back has no wardrobe to hang the clothes which is less convenient for guests.

We booked the entire property through Booking.com while travelling as a couple and paid the full advertised rate for the whole home. However, upon arrival, we discovered that two of the bedrooms were locked. When we contacted the property manager, we were told, “Why do you need all the rooms unlocked when it’s just the two of you?” This was extremely disappointing because the listing clearly advertised the entire property, not partial access based on the number of guests. Guests should be aware that, despite paying for the full home, the host may decide how many rooms you are allowed to use without consulting you beforehand. We were also told this is considered “normal practice,” but in our view it is misleading and unfair, as it does not match what was advertised or paid for. I would strongly recommend book elsewhere.

Quiet, warm, spacious, comfortable, good layout and well equipped.

The kitchen and equipment was not as clean as it could have been. We had to clean the fridge, oven and some of the pans before using. A dustpan and brush /mop would have been be handy. We were unable to check in at the scheduled time as the cleaners had another hour to finish, resulting in a change of our plans.

Plenty of space for our group. Each room had its own shower and toilet which was great. Kitchen well appointed.

Property photos need updating, the photos show space all around the property with no other houses close, where as in real life all around the property has been built up with houses. The photos mention houses under construction nearby, where as in real life they are directly next door and the view from the dining room doors looks directly at them. This wasnt an issue for us, but worth mentioning
