After reading wonderful reviews about Creek House, especially its close location to Abel Tasman Nat’l Park, its cleanliness, and amenities, my husband and I were eager and booked this location. However, our experience was opposite so many of the positive reviews. Upon arrival at night, we spent at least 45 minutes cleaning Creek House, removing cob webs, removing spiders, moths, and dusting ledges. There were dead bugs (moths & mosquitos) on the floor and along the sofa edges, and at least 3 large spiders in the lounge and bedroom. Ledges and countertops were dusty. We were unable to reach and remove all of the spiders and webs, but did as much as we could. While the house itself is beautiful, it looked as if it had not been used or cleaned in months and little preparation was done for our arrival. When contacting the host overnight, they responded promptly in the morning, but by that time we decided to end our stay and book a new location.
