Run by a property company, whose staff are very helpful and kind. One of over 150 holiday rentals they manage, meaning less houses for normal rent and rents in Turangi are high. Made me think about the ethics of Airbnb, when you are taking what would once have been rental properties out of the market.
The fee includes a cleaning charge, but the bath/shower was slimy and the oven filthy. These are tasks which require a few hours, not a quick vacuum and wipe and that is the downside of a property managed by a company and not the owners. The entrance lock was broken and the lockbox falling apart, the company fixed the lock when we reported it. There were feral cats in the garden. The house needs some TLC.
However, these issues aside, the bones of the house are good, the location was good, there was room for us all and it was convenient for visiting the Taupo area and Tongariro.
