The unit was very clean and perfect for a short stay. The kitchen is very well equipped. Fantastic location. Nice quiet neighbourhood. Only downside is no WIFI.
Gorgeous spot, quiet, convenient.
Comfy bed and pillows.
Needs maintenance, quite shabby.
We would stay again.
Lois Buckett Agency was good to deal with.

Easy Holiday Living
Just returned from a week spent at Haere Mai 2 It was the perfect spot for a seaside holiday Very clean and it was nice to have detergent, teabags, soap for when you just arrive. We felt it needed a paint inside and a freshen up and perhaps a new headboard for the bed in the main bedroom. We also found the air conditioner fan going very late at night right outside our bedroom window from the other villa very annoying. Not well designed Just a few changes would make this holiday villa perfect
Great location and very quiet would stay there again :)

Great position
It's in a great spot and was clean enough, however could do with some TLC. Water leaked in profusely under the door when it rained and it would have fallen apart if hubby hadn't done a quick repair job; light fell down from fitting & others were flickering; the kettle fell apart and it just generally needed a spruce up.
