6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
We enjoyed our stay however it could have been more pleasant if the house & outdoors were cleaner . The house is old so hard to keep it very clean … skirting boards all pretty dirty . The kitchen is very badly organised with little space in pantry and a tiny dishwasher which certainly didn’t help over the Christmas stay . We were very disappointed how dirty the outdoor area was . The barbecue area was filthy with cobwebs over all the chairs and leaves and debris everywhere… The back yard was also in need of a garden cleanup .If you have an adventurous dog the fencing is not amazing to keep them secure. On the positive the view is amazing and it was good to be able to take our dogs away with us .

Great hub for relaxing and exploring.

Great place for our large clan to gather and a base for oir exploration right up to Bay of islands. Had to carry my larger elder dog up and down the stairs so she could stay upstairs with us, but well worth it. If she was happier outside or more of us were spending time downstairs she would have beem fine with that too. Great place, great stay. Cheers.
