We stayed at Robyn's place as a way to "cut in half" the drive to Tauranga. New Plymouth is a lovely little town to stop by!
But, the shower did not work properly. When we arrived you just couldn't get it to warm up, so we had to wait for Robyn to go into town and get a new LPG bottle, so we could have a shower after hours driving.
But the problem was the shower itself. It was either boiling, extremely hot or freezing.
We couldn't have a decent shower during our stay and when we raised this with Robyn we were told that we just needed to get the "knack of it".
Not really what I was expecting.
The space is comfortable and there's some nice sitting outside to enjoy listening to the birds, although that might be interrupted by occasional road noises during the day.
It's a nice place, but the shower needs to be fixed and it's not really that "farmy".
