Good organization, but cottage itself was a disappointment.
Positive: the accommodation provider was very kind, responsive and flexible pre-booking, much appreciated. Location is good, close to Tasman NP and a 1 minute walk to the ocean.
Negative: we were quite disappointed with the place itself. When we entered the place smelled very stale, mold spots in the bedrooms and living areas, many insects inside (especially mosquitos, which led to a sleepless night..). There was about 20cm of water in the garbage can outside, which led us to believe the place hadn’t been occupied or serviced for quite a while. Frankly the place is in dire need of an upgrade or complete make-over. Hence the price/quality was the worst I’ve seen in my 5 weeks in New Zealand.
