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.

Good location with well equipped kitchen and facilities

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.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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?

Place was nice and tidy and clean. Smaller than what was depicted in the photos. What was a let down was we had to make our own beds, sheets and pillow cases were in a drawer we had to go looking through. Also, there was no oil or baking paper. Overall it was a nice place to stay

Family weekend away

Lovely compact tidy bach. Well equipped. Close to town. Parking - only just enough for 2 cars. Liked the modern decor. There are 10 units in complex, it was hard to spot in the dark. The shower over bath screen was tiny making it difficult for taller people to shower without getting water everywhere. Also made cleaning difficult. Otherwise a lovely stay
