🚨
We had travelled from Christchurch with our friends from Auckland that we hadn’t seen for over two years.
We were very disappointed to find that we couldn’t use the kayaks even though when booked they were listed as an amenity and we booked it mainly to use the spa and kayaks.
The spa didn’t work on our stay and the host house instructions was very confusing even on the phone she wasn’t very helpful so unfortunately we just left it alone as we decided it wasn’t worth the hassle.
Another note was that a lot of kitchen utensils were dirty or had rust and not organised nicely inside cupboards.
Even though the heat pump was on and we had it on for awhile it still was cold in the rest of the house.
There was mould inside the freezer and in the fridge.
There was rubbish bags on top of bin lids and full recycling bin that we put out because we had no where to put our recycling.
If I knew that the property was like this I probably would’ve saved my $1500 ($300pernight)
The place does have fantastic views and good access to the beautiful beach in front. Just a shame that the property didn’t live up to the standards that it portrays online.
Probably best for a short stay and someone who doesn’t mind too much about aesthetic and just needs somewhere to sleep.
Lots of potential to grow and do better.
