Overall, we'd recommend Lynnette's apartment for the value. Positives included the quiet, full kitchen, large dining table, breakfast supplies, spacious bathroom, two bedrooms, washer/dryer, and screen door to the dryer porch (which allowed for some cross-breeze without bugs).
Communication could have been better. There was no instruction manual, and the only info Lynnette gave us in the 20 seconds she poked her head out was that we should park on the grass (in response to my question) and to call her if we had further questions. (We didn't have a NZ calling plan.) For example, the apartment was uncomfortably hot when we checked in, and there was an AC unit but no remote and no info about any heat-pump. Due to earlier rainstorms, SH 25A was closed indefinitely (from a landslide), and other highways and roads were impacted as well (with delays). Although these were likely to impact anyone's plans to The Coromandel (including ours), she didn't mention them.
