First, a disclaimer. We would give Kirsten's place a 4.5-star review, but that option isn't provided so we went with four start.
We stayed one night at Kirsten's place. Communication with Kirsten was top-notch, and we were able to find the house quite easily.
The first thing we noticed with the house was that it was huge. There was plenty of space for the four of us and then some. It was very clean and homey. The outdoor area was nice, and we could have spent more time out there. The bedrooms were a good size, and the beds were comfortable (although one person in our party thought his bed was too firm but he likes really soft mattresses). Great water pressure in the showers.
The WiFi was extremely slow - virtually unusable for even one person. The speed was slower than the old-school dial-up, so we never used it. We did inform Kirsten, who said a new router was to be installed soon by her internet provider. Three of us couldn't use our own mobiles to connect, as there was poor reception in the area. Fortunately, one person in our party was able to connect and use his phone as a hotspot.
The ice machine in the freezer also didn't work, which was an issue given the cold water never was cold (that's more a matter of Matamata being very hot at the time than anything to do with the house).
Otherwise, we had a nice stay. The place would be great for large parties or families. The location, despite the lack of mobile reception, was good and not far from town.
