Not going to lie, at first i was skeptical to book this as it only had 1 review at the time of booking but we still went ahead with it and was great. Communication with Craig was great, was very accomodative with requests especially from the get go eg. adding more details and pictures into listing. Me and partner would like to praise the spa that they had, after a long day at the mountain, this was the one thing we looked forward to and it didnt disappoint, plus it had great sunset views. The cottage is small but we didnt mind that as it was our place to relax in - loved that we had a chromecast and watch our show.
There is no kitchen stove and such but they have a microwave, kettle and fridge. If this is an issue for you then you can also drive 10 mins away to Turangi where we ate most of the time.
One thing that could be better - check in and checkout process. Had to ask Craig when we could have been instructed from the Airbnb app instead.
Otherwise great place. Would recommend Craig as a host.
