Great Property but expected more customer care for the price
Property is great, massive house, sleeps a lot of people comfortably, has a big walkthrough garden Unfortunately the property is let down but a few fixable issues, one towel per person and no extra linen available is not enough for 3 days, does have a washing machine but I'm not on holiday to do housework, one of the showers was dirty, left over shampoos, hair in blocked drain etc. The Garden is badly overrun and the steps have rotted out exposing rusted nails etc so nice to look at but be careful walking through it Owner also contacted me a few days out trying to get me to cancel and book from another site sighting issues with bookabach, this is not the stress i needed a few days out from my stay and made me doubt the house even existed. Overall great property but expect a bit of stress

Familyreunion at easter 2024
Oven was out of order, table too small for 12, no teapot or anything for coffeefiltering. Beds are good, we had to ask for more towels. The location is good with a nice view.. the whole place especialy the outside is in need of TLC.. We loved Rotorua and its attractions.
