Nice enough home and located fairly close to Hamilton/The Base. No facilities available to wash or dry clothes, dishwasher was complicated to use even with instructions left on small notes. Rare sleep-out (when also occupied) can be a little awkward due to proximity to outdoor sitting area which is the only place for a family to sit and eat together but I’m sure in Summer this is a lovely deck to enjoy dinner with your family/friends. One can definitely tell during their stay that it is someone else’s well lived in home. If it isn’t the tea towel made into the bed or the food sitting in the dishwasher, then it’ll be the family smell that emanates through the house, the rack full of their shoes or odd children’s bits and pieces in rooms that are clearly oversights but we made sure to leave up high so as not to make them feel like we were using them or trying to take their things. Super kind host with great communication but would have preferred the option for non-contact check in and perhaps to have been more communicative with her cleaner. Future reference, host should make sure her belongings are either locked away safely or taken with so as to not have to send awkward msg’s Re: whether or not myself or my children may have taken something she was missing but in fact had been removed by her cleaner/friend. It was the cheapest option available to us in short notice and if others do not mind the above then would suggest this be a consideration to families visiting Hamilton.
