Thank you Tez , for such a lovely review, I was so happy that my place was perfect for you both. It was a pleasure meeting you, enjoy the rest of your kiwi holiday and safe travels , Kind regards, Tania

Corrado and his family were absolutely my dream guests. They were totally respectful of my home and left it immaculate. They went the extra mile . I would LOVE to host them again .

Thanks Aidan for your lovely review, and for leaving the place immaculate. It was a pleasure to meet you and your daughters. Hopefully we’ll meet again. Take care, Tania

Hello Sarah, Thanks for your review. No dishwasher is listed in the amenities. I put 2 brand new toilets in, and one was broken the following weekend by guests staying. How does anyone even break a toilet ? There are two toilets in the house. Similarly the cushions for the courtyard which guests are welcome to use, but have to be brought in if it rains as they are not rainproof, unfortunately they weren’t, I found them out in the rain and consequently they have mildew stains, which won’t come out unless bleached, which also takes out the colour. So yes, some are now stained, but have been washed. What to do ? Restrict use for successive guests ? Re the personal items in my home. This is mentioned in the listing. This is my home, and their presence doesn’t restrict my guests in any way. In fact many guests have commented that they like the fact that my house felt like a home with books, games etc around. Everything else that is personal is closed away in cupboards. As I live in the house, I can’t possibly clear absolutely everything from the fridge and freezer every time guests are staying. I considered having a freezer compartment and 3/4 of the space in the fridge would be adequate for guests during their very short term occupation, no one to date has found this an issue. If you found dirty crockery, yes, that’s on me, I need to check more thoroughly between guests, that things have been put back clean in the cupboards. In effect , I am sharing my private home, it is a country house, it is rustic , and isn’t a space no one lives when no guests are here. Guests know this and still choose to book. It is cleaned thoroughly between visits. Most guests enjoy the space , my apologies for your disappointment. Thanks, Tania

Thank you Birgit for such a beautiful review . I will really look forward to your return 😊

Thanks for your review Deborah, and for leaving the place so clean and tidy 😊 I just thought I should post something to let guests know that while the floors are indeed native wood, the lounge is mostly covered by a large Persian rug, , and most of the upstairs is carpeted, with big rugs in the main bedroom and also heaters in most rooms if guests feel chilly and of course a big open fire in the lounge with wood supplied. So no need to be cold, we do feel the cold more as we get accustomed to a change in season, when we’re still wearing summer clothes too. 😊😊😊😊

Thanks Taara for choosing my place, I really enjoyed meeting you all. Thanks also for looking after the place and leaving it so beautifully clean and tidy. The chocolates were a lovely and thoughtful surprise. I hope 2021 treats you all well .
