You are in for a treat with this true slice of paradise. An enjoyable stay indeed.
- Sophie is an absolute delightful host - very social and always available and willing to help and offer guidance
- Location is great, spectacular views, House is spacious with 2 bedroom, free parking on street - Good value for the money especially in this area!!
- Bus that goes in to town is within walking distance
- Sophie mentioned that there is a 20-25 min walk along an inner trail short cut to town if you prefer walking but we did not have a chance to try it
- Good size kitchen with utensils and essentials - salt + pepper, sugar + coffee + tea + olive oil and a small milk carton to get going
- Good, free wifi - easy to setup and get going!
- Lots of towels and toilet paper, etc made available
- Decent (and free) laundry facilities with adequate soap, etc provided - dryer took a little longer than expected (and multiple tries) to get drying done
- Nice touch with ample bowl of fruits, NZ wine bottle upon check-in
Other considerations:
- Owners located upstairs can be a boon but for those who seek complete privacy, it can be a bit of a challenge
- The low-flow shower in the bathroom can be a downer for some
- Some cobwebs around a couple pots/ pans and toaster oven - so needed quick rinse and cleaning before using
- If you have young kids and need to keep them entertained, bring along your own options - TV includes only freely available channels - so may not include child-friendly content when you need it - Sophie was nice enough to provide our kids with legos and other games but those options may not be always available.
