Although the house is old and the exterior and some parts of the interior are in need of a paint job, the inside was clean and comfortable, with lots of room for every one. Very comfortable beds with fresh, clean linen. Lots of games for family fun when the sun goes down and a truly beautiful view of the beach, from the lounge and main bedroom. The stairs are a, I must say, hilarious challenge - especially when loaded with luggage and shopping - and provided a lot of laughs, races and videos going up. The view is truly beautiful and the extra personal touch of fresh milk and fresh fruit provided was a neat little surprise. The only negative would be that there is no access to WiFi, which means if any of us (some from the UK) wanted to share our holiday on social media we had to use our phone data. Given the cost of the house PLUS a steep cleaning fee, WiFi could be included. All round though - a great little beach house to come back to after long days 'playing' in Dunedin :-)
