Kea Retreat

location excellent - very organised and clean - warm and good written communication - something for everyone with a great range of games and info

Kea Retreat was exactly what we expected, quite amazing that the footprint fits in 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Dishwasher was great and there is also a washing machine and dryer. Nespresso provided too, as well as linen. Checkout procedure is straightforward, no cleaning to do other than start the dishwasher. We were after clean, warm and quiet and it ticked all these boxes. Our contact was quick with communication and expectations and instructions on their part were clear. We spent two nights so we could check out Franz Josef and Fox Glacier. It was very handy to cafes and restaurants too, although we did find them to be quite expensive.

There is one bedroom with 2 single beds in it - just a heads up the beds are quite short! Our 17 year old, who isn't particularly tall for his age, could only just fit in.

Warm and comfortable. The hosts thought of everything, even umbrellas to borrow. The beds were comfortable, lots of towels. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed for cooking. We enjoyed the lovely extras like the coffee and hot chocolate.

Nice beds. Good kitchen setup. Good heating. Close to lots of shops and restuarants/cafes.

Amazing location with Kea birds nearby right in front of the wildlife center. Restaurants and hiking paths closeby.

The shower was a bit basic.

The apartment was excellent, we didn't lack anything. The location is very good.
