Rakiura is a beautiful island, I feel extremely privileged to finally be able to visit. I was looking for a secluded place and thought I had found it at the Beech Bach yet a man walked past the bedroom window first thing in the morning, tourists are constantly walking on the road below and looking in plus houses opposite, owners place right behind and guy next door. So many rules that are hard to remember, no where to place your stuff as it is taken up by the cleaning stuff, towels and sheets etc, weird shelving in inappropriate places eg above the bed (hit my head a few times).
They are worried about condensation so dehumidifier has to be put on yet the fan in the shower has been installed the wrong way so blows instead of extracting. Lots of teas but the teapot is so big you have to make a lot. Water filter dribbles out and the kettle top broke in my hand. Still a nice spot just didn't meet my needs and the ambience is only in the laundry and the kitchen.
