Glad to see the listing has been updated. Was quite shocked to find owner lives out the back in a caravan, when we were expecting a private property.Beds are way past firm. Had to go out and buy a mattress topper to get a decent nights sleep.Note that owner is on pre paid power, so if you use more than estimated, you may get asked to contribute more.Had no issues with owner, friendly.

We really enjoyed our 6 night stay, we thought it was good value for money and had pretty much everything we needed. It was perfect location for us to walk, near the river and not far to the supermarket. Loved how quiet and private it was looking out to the red zone from the deck, just trees and green and birdsong. Would definitely stay again

Nice character to house, spacious and roomy for the size, the beds were uncomfortable, main double bed didn't even feel like it had a mattress on it was more like a futon top very flat and hard, hubby had to sleep on the couch. Didn't realize there were people staying at the back till the second day. Does not say in the advert people living in back part of property. Mostly clean tidy and warm.

House is great. Everything there. The problem was the host living in the back when the house is rented out.Upon checkin he introduced himself with a different name to what is in the listing and we noticed him being drunk slurring and smelling from alcohol strongly. It culminated during a convo with him about rugby when he disliked my opinion and got aggro and loud. Again strong alcohol smell and slurred speech. That same night we were sitting on the couch by the back door he rumble up the deck at 10.45pm and banged on the door again badly slurring and more drunk than earlier. This is not a safe place with the host being a loose canon invading your space during vacation. We also did not feel safe leaving our personal belongings when out seeing friends, knowing he has access to his house at all times. So we decided to leave earlier than scheduled. A real shame!
