Modern, well-designed two-bedroom cottage in a good location near the beach and between Takaka and Farewell Spit. One of several cottages on the property but we only saw a few other people and were not disturbed by other guests.
But, the cottage had not been cleaned well since the prior guest, and was in serious need of a deep clean of the carpet, walls, drapes, furniture, and to get rid of the overall bad smell.
Internet was very weak, not enough to stream a movie. Shower alternated between scalding hot and freezing cold. Light bulbs burned out. Generally poor maintenance throughout.
