The views surrounding Lady Joe’s house could not be better! It was quintessential New Zealand country! I could sit out in the back yard and sit for hours and listen to the birds chirping, pure heaven.
We loved the location and it was perfect, plenty spacious for our big group. There is a dog on property and although I’m not a dog person, it was a very sweet and charming dog that sat at the back steps. The kids were in heaven with the dog.
The only problem is the cleanliness. It didn’t feel gross. The house actually felt like a home and had a good feel and spirit to it - however it’s a worn home, maintenance issues that aren’t fixed and apparently there wasn’t a cleaning fee only a fee to wash the linens and you were supposed to leave the house how you found it. Being an owner myself of three sir bnb’s I definitely thought it needed a deep cleaning and if you expect people to clean you need to provide them with adequate cleaning supplies, rags and a vacuum that sucks up well!
