We had a great long weekend here. Check in was super easy, the house had everything we needed, especially the kitchen which was stocked with everything to cook for ourselves including oil and basic spices. There’s a heat pump so the place was toasty warm. It was the perfect space to come home to after a long day out exploring Taranaki. The decor was certainly on the fussy side of shabby chic, maybe not to everyone’s tastes, but I found it cute. I believe it’s advertised as no off street parking, but the owner was around and let us park in his carport which was very sweet of him. The cherry on top was getting to watch the many tuis flying around in the backyard. Some of the checkout instructions like stripping the linen off the bed was unusual - I’ve never had to do that for an airBNB before - but it was easy enough and we were happy to oblige. Would definitely stay here again.
