Totara North Hotels

"We booked while driving and didn't note that if you plan to come in late at night you have let the staff know by 6 pm. We had to wake the owner up at 10 to get into our room. That said he had just left the door unlocked. Just a suggestion, but he could have texted at 6 me to let me know that he left our room unlocked, and that would have saved everyone a bit of heartache. The latch on door was a bit hard to close. Other than that it was a great location."

"Lovely location across from the weekend market yet far away off the road to be quiet and serene"

"Lovely big roomy house, fantastic views.Grubby. We had to clean dried food off the kitchen bench. A drink had been spilled through an outside door so we had to clean the inside tiles, as they were sticky. Soft soap in the bathroom had been filled with water. Considerable mildew on the blinds in the bathroom. Mildew in the ensuite. Light bulbs out. Just grubby!"

"Parking was right in front of my room. Place was clean, roomy, and convenient."

"Outstanding property well appointed and well managed. Lots of space and fantastic views. Truly memorable. "

"Friendly host and very helpful, close to town, comfy bed."

"I have given a 4-star rating, but if there was a 4.5 it would have been that! Everything was really lovely, the view, the food, the bed was comfortable, the staff were excellent, it was clean.... But, there were a few maintenance issues that should be addressed. The biggest issue is that the light switch in the bathroom is faulty - doesn't stay on unless you wiggle the switch a bit. I'd say either the switch is loose or the wiring is a bit dodgy. Either way, that needs to be fixed. Other more minor issues are: The curtain was hanging off the curtain rail in the bedroom, the shower would not drain properly (we fixed that ourselves by pouring hot water down the drain, but clearly the drain needs a proper clean), the shower rose leaked (I think it's the wrong shower head on the hose), the heat pump/air conditioner did not work in the lounge, it didn't work when turning on at the machine, and there was no remote control. Overall a very enjoyable stay and these issues did not detract from our enjoyment, but they should be addressed."
