We stayed at the house for a second time, for a couple of days, at the end of our month long stay in NZ. Much of what I said in my first review still stands. The house is very up together and in a great location, and was perfect for our needs, but...
The kitchen is very basically equipped and we were very disappointed that the owners did not respond to our private feedback, after our first stay, on the lack of very basic equipment - e.g. we had to borrow a tin opener and cheese grater from neighbours. The lack of a response, and a much higher charge for our second stay, made us feel it was not quite the value for money it could be. And be aware, as you see on other reviews, the drive is incredibly steep. We were not brave enough to attempt to take the hire car up it but is a very good fitness work out getting up and down it!
Overall we had a great stay and would stay again, if it was clear the owners had invested a little more thought and money in kitting out the kitchen fully.
