You're Lucky if this property isn't booked out

Arguably the best property you could stay at in Rotorua. My friends are still complimenting me for finding the property as if I was the one who brought it to existence. The best sunrise view.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location was great, enough spec for our group. Following things need attention 1. Cleanliness - its wasn't clean. the house in and out for full of webs, the dishes in the kitchen weren't clean, we had to hand wash them, the dishwasher - 2. The powder compartment was broken hence didn't close, 3. the place felt as if it was closed for days, had a musty smell, 4.Some light bulbs didn't work 5 General hygiene of the place wasn't at a good standard; we have to wipe everything before using 6. Should at least provide Salt and Pepper for guest, if not should mention it clearly on the booking site as supermarket is not that close by. 7. There were only 2 tea towels provided (small ones) 8. No hand towels in any of the bathrooms 9. No check out instructions - we couldn't find any.

Liked: Check-in, location
The property had a beautiful view, however the building itself needs alot of upgrading and attention. Two of the room smell damp and we found out why very late at night. A shower was being used upstairs and somhow (we belive the plumbing to be faulty) water leaked through the roof into a cupboard with electrical equipment. It the also saturated the fools and cupboard in the two damp smelling rooms.This was a highly stressful and concerning event. The host was uncontactable untill the following day. She offers a 4 bedroom house for 7 guests as a remedy however this wouldnt work. We cordoned off the affected areas and stayed one more night as we were a netball team there for a tournament. I most probably would not book there again or recommend due to it needing lots of attention. We also could not pick up any wifi regradless of turning the router on and off as suggested by the host.
