Pretty good spot - cleaner needs a rev

The house is good and suited our needs. Unfortunately, it was a bit grubby, with a lot of dishes, cutlery, pots, etc in cupboards and drawers that were not clean, which was a little disappointing....we got over it and cleaned them and all was good from that point.

Beautiful Timaru

Our stay in this property was great. Communication with our host was very responsive. We enjoyed our time there and very much appreciated how well our host made our stay very welcoming. We had no issues with anything or anyone during our stay. I guess if you show respect you will receive respect. The home was very warm and comfortable. We have 2 Sons and they are not small so the sleeping arrangements suited us all perfectly. We would have loved to have woken up to a Coastal Scenery, but who are we to complain. We had a roof over our heads and that is all that matters. I would recommend this establishment to anyone who is looking for comfort and warmth. Oh My Gosh the fireplace was so lovely. I want one in my home. I would be booking there again if we ever go back. Thank you so much to our hosts for letting us rent your home.

Rest and relaxation

We really enjoyed out stay. Although it was only 2 nights the spa really helped us feel like it was a holiday, the location was so close to everything and we also just stayed in on the Saturday and relaxed back on the big lounge suite and binged Netflix. Would definitely return.

Okay but not great

Quiet location, massive size of apartment but a bit shabby. Oven, range hood and cutlery draws dirty. No washing machine, sofas worn and no cushions. Cobwebs on all windows. Needs a bit of a spruce up in general but fine for 2 nights.

Large, clean, comfortable and quiet suburban property

Greeted by a steep, narrowish driveway with limited parking but that didn't worry us. Took a while to work out the door code but once we did it was no problem from then on. The interior was roomy and perfectly adequate for our needs. the only drawback was that the spa motor came on every 2 hours for about 10 minutes through the night disturbing the lightest sleeper of our group, even though we didn't use it.

Timaru Trip

Way down the long drive to a back section. Apartment is 3 stories high be aware lots of stairs The owner who is a stickler for rules, and who lives just through the wall from you, will growl at you should any rule be not adhered to. Extra cash payments needed to use the spa. Suited our needs for our Timaru stay

Disappointed experience

Unfortunately the spa was not working as expected . Rung owner about spa but didn’t offer to come sort out . The general tidiness of the appliances were oily and dirty , toaster didn’t work, bbq hard to get any heat out of as old and not clean , tv in main bedroom didn’t work. The house was generally a bit tired and could of done with a good clean . Didn’t live up to the photos on the ad. Not worth the price . Won’t be going back again
