The property was very strange. It was comfortable enough and good for one night. Showers were nice and location was good although odd.
Lots of rules everywhere to follow, even though there were stains absolutely everywhere (tables, sofa, bedding etc). Felt like staying in a very odd dystopian future, no one around and all created for rental which is quite sad. Wouldn’t have enjoyed being there for more than a night

Spacious
One bathroom had a damp smell. My son is a plumber so he cleared the shower trap and removed an enormous lump of matted hair. We can supply a photo. The air conditioner filters had also not been cleaned. We feel the property should have a deep clean and these areas should be looked at regularly.
There are only bathroom mirrors which makes it difficult to dry hair and put on make up if more than one person is staying in a room. A mirror in the lounge would be an easy fix and would give flexibility.
But the biggest issue we encountered was the access code arrived 12 hours after we checked in. Fortunately the owners were helpful and provided the code over the phone but we feel this was very poor service. Had we not been travelling with NZ nationals the cost of calling the owners would have been prohibitive. We feel this was very worrying. We were a late booking due to an emergency, but I’m sure this happens often, and could have been left sleeping in our car until the door code arrived at 5.23am - exactly 12 hours after our arrival! Perhaps your system needs looking at?

Didn’t realise it was a duplex
Not a lot of privacy from neighbours- new development area and gardens still to establish

Clean, convenient, suitable for 3 couples, good heating and cooling, good kitchen. Very nice house.
The bedroom that was associated with the disability bathroom had nowhere to put suitcases other than on the floor, nowhere to hang up anything, only one bedside table with one lamp. This should be rectified immediately as it is impossible for a disabled person or elderly person to be bending down to floor level to reach their suitcase contents. Where are they supposed to put their coat etc.

Not much
Absolute minimal of essentials despite paying premium price. No dryer , why have a washing machine if you have no dryer, don’t expect guests to dry clothes in extreme cold temperatures, how does that work ?? Very limited on bare essentials, no oil for cooking etc and the list goes on . Staying in a hotel room you expect this not in a house Extremely disappointed in lack of supplies, no outside sitting area at all. Building happening all around. This is not a comfortable place to stay when you have No home comforts at all just bare resources nothing extra, same as hotel room but further away from centre of town.

even better than the pictures looked. Spacious, bright and very clean. The kitchen is fantastic.
Cold when we arrived, but did quickly warm up with heat pump and the electric heaters which were provided in each room.

Wow, we had such a good experience on this short break. We were so impressed with James, who met us at the property and spent some time giving us advice on what to do, where the best eateries are, and generally making sure we were comfortable. Sparkly clean and comfortable, can't fault it.

Well appointed, very clean three bedroom holiday home. Full kitchen which was brilliant as we were able and chose to cook at the property some of the time and save on the costs of eating out.
It was quite! Really peaceful beside the pond and in a very quite area. Made it easy to relax and unwind.
This is VERY minor. But the two beds in the double bedrooms were singles joined together rather than an actual queen or king bed.

The house is definitely luxury has everything you need and comfortable .The host was really nice too 👌
