Too much stuff in bedroom and no hanging space - on the plus side much better than the images shown Also plenty of equipment in kitchen and spacious deck - unable to use as rained most of the time

Fantastic Location

Lovely, peaceful location. Great base to explore the region (if you have a car). It is a classic kiwiana bach circa 60’s but never the less really needs a good spring clean, declutter and refresh.

Misleading and Unfair

We have been charged for 3 people staying at this property when we booked for and only had 2 staying. Despite sending an email we have no response and feel as though thereis dishonesty going on.
