Very clean, well appointed. Nice spa pool. Had booked based on availability of spa pool and BBQ. Per management company, the BBQ was removed several months ago. We booked in November and it was a listed as an amenity. We were disappointed; however the manent company offered to loan us one of their personal bbqs which was nice. Rained so we never took them up on it.

The view from this house is terrific--high on a hill looking over other hills and down to the sea. And you have the hills view from the hot tub as well. The house is quite spacious and we found it to be quite well equipped as well. It could use a bit of TLC in some places (e.g., exterior furniture, BBQ, weather-etched doors in master bedroom), but not serious, Re the road to it, yes, it is narrow and rather precipitous, but negotiable (and if you check it out on Google, you'll find an alternate route that cuts out quite a bit of the scary road). The beds are good, the laundry works well, and the kitchen is large with a great view. We were there for 8 days an we'd happily stay there again.

Superbly-designed multi-level upmarket home on a commanding hillside location ... (a) Layout: from front door 6 stairs down to bottom bedroom, 10 stairs up to Lounge & Kitchen on level 2, another 6 stairs to level 3 with 2 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms .. stairs all carpeted with rail .. (b) Positives of house are numerous & major: fantastic views of surrounding hills, city centre & suburbs down below & of Tasman Bay extending out towards Kaiteriteri & the Takaka Hills ... serene & surrounded by native bush / birds ... a very modern & tasteful interior with plush new carpet and immaculately presented bedrooms & lounge ... extremely comfy beds/lounge ... very effective heatpump (warms room unusally quickly) ... attractive kitchen with full amenities ... 2 bathrooms (1 with bath) & outdoor spa pool ... TVs in both the lounge & in downstairs bedroom (incl Netflix) ... (c) Negatives of house: few in number & relatively minor - these included (1) some noise in downstairs bedroom from fellow guests in kitchen/lounge above (upstairs bedrooms, however, are perfectly quiet), (2) as others have said: parking space is a little tight to turn car around but becomes relatively easy after 1st couple of attempts, (3) dining room chairs plastic (could do with softer seating), (4) bedrooms need more coathangers ... (5) greater rubbish capacity limit ... (d) Overall: Major Strengths significantly outweigh minor weaknesses .. an extremely attractive house in a stunning location .. Highly Recommend.

If you want a view this provides you with a lovely view. The spa pool was a perfect temperature. The last AirB&B didn’t get to temperature so that was nice. Use of the garage for our bikes was handy, once my husband fixed the up and over door. Nice heated floor in the bathroom. Perfect for colder days but we turned it off as the rooms got really hot with the sun. Plenty of towels provided. Nice to have carpeted rooms. The bedrooms were good sizes. One of the bedrooms was away from the others which may suit some. Unfortunately, it felt that it hadn’t been cleaned. There was still a used cup and plate left at the bedside. Tinsel left out from Christmas. The cups in the cupboard were not clean. It would have been nice to open the master bedroom curtains to see the beautiful view but the double glazing needs replacing. The roads were extremely tight up to the property with cars and overgrown trees (the neighbour cut those back after a couple of days). We had to take the bikes off, lift the bike rack up as it scraped on the turn up to the property. The piano needs a good tuning and maybe some games to play, chess, cards etc. would be a good idea. All in all a good stay, but needs some attention to make it more pleasurable.
