Disappointing
Unfortunately, we were disappointed with this house. It took us a while to find it, as the house had no number and was so shabby from the outside that we didn't recognize it from the photos. Inside, it needs some TLC and a thorough spring clean. For example, all the couches were filthy - very stained and with food debris on them. The walls had smears of something pretty grotty-looking on them. The bathroom cabinets were full of old toiletries, but no hairdryer for guests. The pantry had lots of old food, some with insects and cockroaches in it. We aren't super fussy about this sort of thing (hey we have kids, so are used to a bit of mess!), but at this place the grottiness really detracted from our stay.
We stayed in a number of other places during our holiday in New Zealand, most of which were close to half the price of this one, but all of them were a much better standard in terms of interior decor, cleanliness and hospitality. On the plus side, the
view from this house is amazing and it's a good space for a family. But for this price, we expected a much better standard of accommodation.
