We have mixed feelings about the place. The location is great, the views back Auckland, rabbits and tui roaming the garden, all marvellous. The main issue for us was cleanliness; for the price we were expecting high-quality motel or hotel standard, not to clean the toilet and the plates ourselves, a smelly fridge, and find all sorts of yucky stuff in the cupboards – retired underway and prehistoric noodles in the kitchen cupboard, just saying. Arrival day was a quest for clean bed linen, which eventually found a happy end the next morning when Dawn brought a new set over from Auckland. The whole place feels like an investment object to generate income for owners living elsewhere, not a loved home, the experience transactional not hospitable.
