The location was better than expected as it is only 10 minutes drive from The Mount and the suburb of Papamoa where there are useful shops. The best find in the area was Pearl Kitchen which did the absolute best breakfast and excellent coffee!
The house was a practical space but was let down by old appliances in the kitchen for example the dishwasher was restricted to a certain programme and the hob did not function efficiently. In addition the washing machine can only be used on a cold water setting . This is not hygienic and not suitable for a family. The bed linen was poor quality some was damaged and we had to ask for a replacement sheet. Most important to note there was inadequate water pressure to have a shower.After speaking with the agent it was revealed that the owner had turned the temperature down much too low.
In general this gave us an uncomfortable feeling as it suggested a mean spirited attitude towards guests. It also cost us time and effort to rectify.
