Good:
The house is closed to the centre of Whangamata. 5 minutes by car to the beach. It has a washing machine and a dryer which is a plus.
It also has a big lounge, the kitchen has everything you needed. The beds were good and the jacuzzi was great! (Although the bubbles didn't seem to work).
Louise, the owner, let us arrive an hour before the entry time and leave 1 hour later which was very kind of her and made our life easier with the kids. Thanks, Louise!
Not so good:
We don't recall this from the property information but we might have misread it: there is a cat who lives in the house.
The cleaning of the property has room for improvement. Surfaces and visible areas were clean, however, a deep clean of the house is needed. We were 4 adults with a 10-month baby and 2 toddlers. The toddlers found all kinds of disgusting things under the beds and couches: a dry piece of lemon, a chewed tennis ball, a cupcake mould, chocolate crumbles, etc. We even found a Panadol pill on the floor, which is unsafe for children. We really encourage Louise to do a deep clean of the property.
Also, the door of the toilet needs to be fixed, it's very hard to open and close.
We enjoyed our stay and it was great value for money :-)
