"As a couple of 82 year olds, we arrived to a booked room which we discovered was up 2 flights of steps. The receptionist couldn’t have been more helpful in checking to see if we could have a room on the ground floor instead. That room was perfect and very much appreciated."

Triple Tui - Log cabin, self contained, river side

8/10 Good
"Online listing does not explain clearly the ‘off grid’ nature of the property (limited power & hot water) and does not include details about the 300m walk (incl a skinny sway bridge crossing) to get from where you park your car to the property, nor was this communicated to us as part of the special instructions you normally receive days before your arrival. No contact was made until a few hours prior and no information was provided at that time, only on arrival were we told that we needed a 4WD to get to the cottage, so our luggage was transported by the host while we walked. Had we known and been prepared (incl packing differently), we would have enjoyed it, rather than being surprised and frustrated. The cottage itself was lovely and once we settled in, it was enjoyable, just not what we were expecting."
