Very central home in Rotarua. Staring with the positives; nice sized bedrooms, comfortable beds, air conditioning in the central lounge worked great, large yard, beautifully decorated.
Cons; kitchen was not cut for cooking, lacked fundamental basics-no salt or pepper, cooking oil. The pots were filthy, with baked on food that hadn’t been cleaned off. There was no grater, no mixing bowls and not enough glassware.
We had three towels to share between 3 guests over 2 nights and 3 days. When this was raised they said ‘okay thanks’ no apology for the state of the kitchen ware. Pretty lacklustre response and not okay in my opinion. The gate was required to be locked at all times but took my Dr bother about 20 minutes each time we wanted to go in or out to undo the maze that was the gate chain/bolts. The neighbourhood although well located seemed a bit rough. No air conditioning in the bedrooms which meant we were hot the entire night even with the windows open.
All in all, a very average stay. Other than the bedrooms the rest of the home isn’t up to scratch. The hosts need to do better. Look else ware.
