The house was clean and has a fantastic views! The beds are cozy and rooms were as expected. Our group, made up of of 'disabled' veterans and youth had an easy time using the amenities. This rental, like others on this site, books per person. Be prepared to pay additional fees if your booking number should increase before arrival, this includes infants.
The internet in NZ is extremely limited with the exception of some hotels. This made things difficult for our group considering we had multiple people conducting business. Plan ahead and expect to subsidize the homes internet with local cafe's etc.
The hot water in the house was minimal, which may not be suitable for larger groups, but was manageable for us with a rotation schedule. The heat was not working in every room but the wood burn stove, if stoked ever few hours through the night, provided added heat.
We paid the extra fee for the hot tub which was nice to come back to.
Although, we ultimately cut our trip short at the home, based on our internet usage, hot water and heating needs - the house was great. For a smaller group, vacationing or looking to get away for a bit, this is a perfect pick. The kitchen was ample and worked good for group meals.
