Expect not to be able to meet with the agent, in spite of what you might have been told, but rather have to collect the keys on-site, using a code you should be given, at the latest, when you are stranded in front of the main door and you are forced to ring up the company that manages the place! Expect not to be able to use the outdoor BBQ (just too dirty to dare), not to be able to use clean tools in the kitchen, having to re-clean the place to get it to some decent standards before you can actually start enjoying it at all, and, yes, no wi-fi, thus also no Internet TV, no coffee-maker, not even a basic one - bring your own! Don't think you can take the kayak down to the beach by foot... it is too far and too steep. You better have other ways of carrying it down to the beach by car, using the main road, that is. Once you get over the upsetting feelings due to the above... you might still enjoy the beauty of the views and the nearby beaches and the magic of Karikari Peninsula. Don't let this place ruin your experience of the peninsula, that is!
