The house was amazing and we had a fantastic time. It was lovely to have all the household items like oil, salt/pepper, glad-wrap, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher tablets etc available to us to keep everything clean during our stay. The antibacterial wipes were a wonderful touch that really ensured we cleaned the surfaces thoroughly - thank you! Beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were great, three toilets really made it easy with 6people staying. Great location with only a short walk to the main Bicheno shops.
Note that there is a studio that can be booked separately on the property, this is very close to the deck and it might be a good idea to book the studio if you are planning on using the bbq/outdoor area. It is really close and we felt a bit uncomfortable talking/laughing etc on the deck with the other people right there that we didn’t know. There is also a house rule that we all need to be inside by 9:30pm so the studio has some privacy. This was ok as it rained during our stay but I can see how it would be a shame to move inside at 9:30pm if you are enjoying a lovely summer evening on the deck. My advice would be to book the studio with your main house booking and I will do this should I book again. A really wonderful house!
