Overall, this a very nice batch, close to the sea, but also close to Oamaru which is a lovely place to visit with bars, restaurants, etc. Communication with the host was spotty as they were on vacation, and zero flexibility given despite texting them immediately saying that we had made the booking by accident, but... the hot tub at the batch is really nice, and was fantastic in the cold weather, so that really made up for any earlier annoyance. Everything was very clean, the heating and kitchen facilities are great, and you can see the sea from the window, which is lovely.
