"Great location If you are visiting to see the Kai Iwi Lakes as it is close by. Bach nice and warm during the night, spacious lounge/ dining area and comfortable futon that could be used as an extra bed. Good oven with fully equiped kitchen. Downside would be the misleading listing. There is no bbq, no ocean view ,tv doesn’t work and we contacted the host however this was not resolved during our stay. Poor cleanliness, mold on curtains, dirty shower basin, crack on shower slider etc. Not sure if this place is cleaned between stays. lawn/outdoor area was not maintained but this may have been due to the wet weather. Seperate shower and toilet near front door entrance however the shower has no door just a curtain. We had to let everyone know not to use the toilet or front door during showers for privacy to change. Low water pressure and water would go cold. Did not know we needed to get council bags for rubbish during stay, would be nice if these were provided given we bring all our own linen - towels, blankets, sheets. Highly recommend to take photos/ videos at check in and check out and test everything works to let the host know. You should take a fan if you are going during a warm season and beach only accessible with 4WD unless you walk through stream however it’s contaminated. "

"Stayed in a 2 bedroom suite… Fantastic Master Bedroom, Living Room 2 showers and baths. Impeccably decorated. Large, large shower enclosure. The managers (husband and wife) running the place were great. Views out the windows and sliding glass door were straight at the beach and bay ( nobody or thing blocked any of the views "

"The location was amazing but unfortunately most of the pots, pans, crockery and cutlery were dirty and had to be washed before use which was very inconvenient. Also, there was only one tea towel which quickly got wet. The unit shares a wall with another unit and there is very little sound proofing so you can easily hear other people walking and talking in other rooms of this, and the other unit, which doesn't make it very peaceful. The fact that you are supposed to take your rubbish to the tip at the end of the stay and that it is closed on Tuesday and Thursday is ridiculous. In summary, please make everything is clean and it would be better if there were more bowls and tea towels available. Also, perhaps invest in sound proofing and for someone to remove the rubbish when they clean the unit."
