We saw this property and liked its look for a long weekend away in Martinborough. We booked it accordingly in good faith and travelled down from Hawkes Bay with the anticipation of a pleasant and comfortable stay.
Having travelled 5 hours to reach this property it was a huge disappointment.
From the moment we drove down the drive to the front door the property failed to meet expectations. It had been poorly prepared particularly the entrance and external living areas which were dirty and lacked maintenance. There were numerous problems and deficiencies. Carpets were stained and dirty. No hanging space in master bedroom. Old food left in fridge . Kitchen drawers dirty with dead bugs present.
We immediately contacted our hostess to report the state of the house and grounds. She put the apparent owner on to us and after discussing the situation he offered a full refund. We accepted his offer and left without occupying the property. Despite chasing we have received no refund to date.
