Well, the house was in a good location and the layout of the house was good. Bedding and towels were clean. From there on things were VERY bad. First up the house smelt very badly .It would seem that the smell was coming from the garage which opened up to the house. It smelt like blocked drains. If the door to the garage was left open the smell went right through the house. The house is NOT clean! As we had a two year old with us we moved all ornaments from low shelves and tables, all these surfaces were covered in dust, as were the wooden blinds. We lost something under the couch in the TV room and on lifting it we found accumulated rubbish underneath. Also one door handle to this TV room fell off when we went to open it. Also in this room the roman blinds are broken(wont raise properly) The kitchen is a shocker. The cooker door wont close properly and the oven was filthy. Beading on the cabinet above the oven door is peeling off. The plastic surround on the light above the oven has melted. One light in the kitchen didn't work. The fry pans are disgusting and should be thrown out(Filthy) also several pot handles are ready to fall off. The extractor fan in the main bathroom doesn't work. The toilet roll holder in the separate toilet is loose. The ceiling in this bathroom is showing signs of mold (no extractor fan) The shower door etc. needs a good clean as it showing mold. The door frame around the main door into the master bedroom was covered in filthy marks. The ceiling in the on suite bathroom is covered in black mold spots and again the shower needs a proper clean as PINK mold is showing around the door and joints. The extractor fan in this bathroom is filthy full of black GUNK!, which probably contributes to the un-pleasant smell in the bathroom. The door from the garage to the clothes line wouldn't open(three of us tried to open it) which meant a trip to the clothes line meant walking out the TV room door and all the way round outside to the clothes line. This unlockable door also meant that rubbish had to be taken out via the main garage door or again round the back of the house, not good when its pouring with rain! The wheeled rubbish bins are filthy, I was reluctant to touch them when disposing of rubbish. In many places the paint has been worn off the edges of the doors and frames and small holes are in some walls. Outside isn't much better, the trees need cutting back, the path to the clothes line is covered in weeds. The condition of the down pipes suggest the gutters are blocked and the same GUNK shows where the extractor fan outlets exit the house. The overall condition of the house suggests a total lack of maintenance and of just taking the rental but putting nothing back into the property. I have owned/managed and cleaned rental properties for many years in the Queenstown Lakes area and I would be ashamed to offer a property in this condition. Until such time as the owners bring the property up to an acceptable standard, I CANNOT RECOMEND THIS HOUSE TO ANYONE> BE WARNED!!!
