Dirty laundry?

We were surprised to find a stack of dirty laundry on the washing machine. We did have time to wash the towels and sheets before we needed them. We left a folded stack of clean sheets and towels and a load in the dryer for the next renters.

Lovely place for our trip to Tongariro. Everything that we needed. Not aware at time of booking that linen was extra and there were additional requirements re cleaning on checkout.

The chalet is very well appointed and in good condition. I liked the cosiness but with all the conveniences and appliances you might need. What I didn't like was the reliance on previous guests to make the place clean and ready for the next guests, with no obvious thorough check in between. In particular, the bed wasn't made up and it was very difficult to find the right sheets for the bed. Also, the instructions were unclear about how the laundry is dealt with between guests, eg is it acceptable to do the washing in the machine and leave it there when you leave (probably not), so what do you do with it?
