The good:
-The building is interesting and agreeable.
-There are beds everywhere .
-Furniture is homely and comfortable.
-Sheets and the white pillows were clean.
-The kitchen is well equipped
-The TV has PayTV and all worked well
-Two of our group took advantage of the spa and rated it highly.
-There were no other listings in Christchurch at that time for the number of people in our group
The unfortunate:
-Carpet is everywhere and all desperately needs replacing. Many bald parches. Three stairs have holes that were 'repaired' with packing tape. A dozen 'waves' where it has stretched over time. Trip Hazard.
-Some bedding was filthy.
-Mould on the walls/ceiling of one bathroom.
-Three serious electrical hazards: (1) Live 240v cable repaired with tape and coiled up on the floor of a wet area. (2) 240v element with bare wires protruding from a heated towel rail. (3) An ancient 60W light in the pantry that cannot be turned off that burns skin on contact.
-More to say but no space left
