BEWARE this place is run down and very dirty!! Please read our review here below plus the recent reviews on the batch care site: https://www.bachcare.co.nz/holiday-homes-accommodation/coromandel/tairua/the-lookout-tairua-holiday-home/3829
We got sucked into the listing by the pictures of the amazing view, but unfortunately, that's about the only amazing thing about this house. We wished we had seen all the reviews on Batchcare site about this place and how dirty and run down this place, because they were spot on, the owner had responded to these reviews on the batch care site saying they had sorted a full clean on the place, but this was an outright lie, the place is very dirty, our feet were black from just walking around on the floor, and there is dust and dirt EVERWHERE, this place needs a bloody good spring clean and would appear it doesn't get cleaned properly after each guest, despite being charged a big cleaning fee for the booking!
The place is run down and needs a lot of maintenance and repairs, all the furniture is old and falling apart. Half of the power points in the place don't go, and the TV does not work at all, we contacted the owner mutiple times to advise the TV was not powering on and working, they ignored all our communication, we called after being ignored many times, they said they would send someone to look at the TV, but of course, that was a lie as well, we really wanted to just relax in the evening and watch some TV but not possible.
The view is great, but the place your in is horrible and run down and outright unhygienic and full of dirt...oh and we never got any refund of money including the cleaning fee!! The owner still continues to ignore the concerns. Id be very careful if you choose to rent this place, because there is a high chance you will be staying in a run down and dirty place, the view isn't worth it when you have to stay in a place like this where the owner simply doesn't care and isn't interested in cleaning and maintaining this place. Was such a let down for what was supposed to be a nice relaxing holiday :(
