Peter was super responsive and as nice as can be. We wanted to be able to check in early but he had other guests checking out and advised we could leave our bags in the garage while the cleaners continued to clean the place. Lo and behold, upon arrival, the house was already done! And on our last day, our Milford Sound trip was pushed until the very last day due to weather which made us totally unprepared for our check out time. We literally threw our bags in the garage and caught our trip to Milford Sound. On our way, I messaged Peter to apologize for leaving our bags in the garage but advised that we were otherwise checked out. He said it was absolutely no problem. Such a relief! The only small hiccup was that our beds weren't split per our request but the housekeeper actually came about an hour after we arrived at the house and proactively apologized and asked if we still wanted it done. It was so lovely of her to offer but since we were all family, we didn't really need the beds split any way. And of course, there was a great bottle of wine waiting for us upon check in! Overall, the views are to die for; the house is just as pictured; water pressure is freaking amazing...the one small consideration is the driveway is intensely steep. I can't exaggerate it enough! It's super, duper steep. And the distance from town is probably a litter further than you'd like to walk considering the rolling hills and steep driveway. Other than that, though, it's really an amazing place with an awesome host. Five stars all the way!
